Who will win the race to have the world’s first usable general purpose humanoid robot?

I thought I knew all the companies making general purpose robots:

- Tesla

- Sanctuary AI

- Figure AI

- Fourier Intelligence

- Agility Robotics

- Boston Dynamics

I was wrong ... there’s probably a bunch I don’t know. But one that popped up as interesting is Apptronik. They’re based in Austin TX, they're partnering with NASA, and they're building Apollo, a 5’8” 160-pound robot.

In this TechFirst, we chat with CEO Jeff Cardenas. And we learn that he has a completely different approach to building a humanoid robot than probably every other robotic company out there.
