Kepler Robotics builds full-stack humanoid robots with a proprietary hybrid serial-parallel actuator architecture combining roller screw linear actuators and rotary actuators for energy-efficient bipedal locomotion and dexterous manipulation. The K2 Bumblebee runs onboard AI for real-time object recognition, full-body balance control, and adaptive task execution across over 100 industrial task modes including sorting, assembly, quality inspection, and logistics. Mass production of the K2 began in September 2025, with customer deployments at SAIC-GM's automotive plant in Shanghai from April 2025 and contracts valued at hundreds of millions of yuan for several thousand units.
