According to a proof-of-concept disclosed by DeepMind on November 10 and reported by CryptoSlate, Apptronik's Apollo 2 humanoid robot successfully performed automotive parts sorting and sequential kitting on an active Mercedes-Benz production line with a reported success rate of 96%. This figure was provided by the company; the disclosure did not specify whether the success rate was calculated per individual pick or per full-tray kitting unit, nor did it provide the number of trial runs or the human intervention rate.
