That's thanks to a deal between the Texas-based robotics company and global engineering solutions firm Jabil, which produces components for the likes of Apple, Dell, and HP.

The partnership will see both companies put Apollo robots to work on assembly lines at Jabil's operations, including the ones for manufacturing Apollo bots.

Apollo will have to prove itself capable first, though. It'll initially be assigned "an array of simple, repetitive intralogistics and manufacturing tasks, including inspection, sorting, kitting, lineside delivery, fixture placement, and sub-assembly." The idea is for Apollo to eventually be deployed to functioning manufacturing facilities and free up human workers.
