Apollo vs GR-2: which robot wins?
Apptronik's Apollo against Fourier's GR-2 — price, capability, availability, and a verdict you can act on.
| Apollo | GR-2 | |
|---|---|---|
| EST. PRICE | Lease only | Enterprise pricing |
| HEIGHT | 5"-8"- / 173 cm | ~5′5″ / 175 cm* |
| WEIGHT | ~73 kg | ~63 kg* |
| PAYLOAD | 25 kg | ~3 kg per hand* |
| RUNTIME | ~4 hrs (swappable) | ~2 hrs, swappable* |
| DEXTERITY | Modular, swappable batteries | 12-DOF hands with tactile sensing* |
| AVAILABILITY | Commercial only | Industrial only |
| WHICHBOT SCORE | 7.9 / 10 | 7.6 / 10 |
| OUR TAKE | Built like a forklift with hands - swappable batteries, warehouse-first. A workhorse, not a roommate. | The care-focused humanoid. Born from a rehab-robotics company, GR-2 bets that the killer app is helping humans, not just lifting boxes. |

Detailed comparison: Apollo vs GR-2
Apollo scores 7.9/10 in our independent evaluation; GR-2 scores 7.6/10. That 0.3000000000000007-point gap reflects real differences in capability or value, but GR-2 may still win if its strengths match your priorities.
Apollo is best for: Warehouse and manufacturing operators - not home buyers. GR-2 is best for: Healthcare innovators and labs exploring robots that work with people, not around them.
Our scoring weighs five factors: autonomous capability, independent verification (third-party evidence scores higher than manufacturer claims), commercial deployment scale, price-to-capability ratio, and real-world availability today. Neither robot here is scored on marketing alone. Apollo and GR-2 are both worth evaluating — the right call depends on which robot's documented strengths match your actual workflow.
CHOOSE THE APOLLO IF…
- Warehouse and manufacturing operators - not home buyers.
- Highest payload of any humanoid in this index (25 kg)
- Hot-swappable batteries = continuous shifts
CHOOSE THE GR-2 IF…
- Healthcare innovators and labs exploring robots that work with people, not around them.
- Unique healthcare/rehabilitation pedigree and focus
- Refined dexterous hands with tactile sensing
