About K2
The Kepler K2 "Bumblebee" is an advanced industrial humanoid robot developed by Kepler Robotics that stands 175 cm tall, weighs 75 kg, and features 52 degrees of freedom for human-like dexterity and movement precision. Powered by 100 TOPS onboard computing capability, the K2 excels in real-world commercial applications with its sophisticated dexterous hands that have 11 degrees of freedom and 25 force-sensing contact points per finger, enabling it to lift up to 30 kg with both arms while handling both delicate assembly tasks and heavy industrial components. The robot's revolutionary planetary roller screw actuators provide exceptional energy efficiency, allowing 8 continuous hours of operation on just a 1-hour charge, while its integration of cloud-based cognitive models with embodied control systems uses imitation and reinforcement learning to master new tasks autonomously. Currently undergoing real-world testing at major automotive plants like SAIC-GM, the K2 is designed to transform manufacturing, logistics, and hazardous operations through its advanced AI-powered reasoning, real-time vision, autonomous navigation, and quality inspection capabilities, with commercial deployment expected to accelerate as industrial pilot programs are completed.
