Apollo · Best for

Warehouse and logistics box/tote picking and transport (primary focus; proven in GXO trials).

Aliengo · Best for

University SLAM and robotics coursework: 4.6 h endurance, developer-friendly I/O (GbE, USB 3.0), and ROS support enable weeks of lab experiments and student projects without infrastructure lock-in.

Final judgment

Both are credible picks. Decide on cost and supplier proximity, not capability — the gap is small.
