According to a post on X by @xmercury_one, logistics company GXO has signed a letter of intent with Apptronik covering up to 1,000 Apollo humanoid robots. The post says live-warehouse trials are set to start in 2027, with full rollout depending on performance targets. It is a letter of intent rather than a firm order, and the post notes that a commitment of this size would move humanoids from small pilots toward real fleets.

According to the post, logistics giant GXO's letter of intent covers up to 1,000 Apollo humanoid robots, with live-warehouse trials starting in 2027 and the full rollout depending on performance targets. It is a letter of intent, not a firm order. A thousand-unit commitment would move humanoids from small pilots...
Robotics makers and logistics operators are the main parties affected, since a deal of this scale would test whether humanoid robots can move past pilot programs into fleet-sized use. Investors and warehouse operators should note that the rollout is conditional on performance targets and that the agreement is not yet a firm order. Next, watch whether the letter of intent becomes a binding order and how the 2027 trials perform.
Hardware and robotics watchers may want to track whether this becomes a product, benchmark, or deployment signal.
