Successor to the K2, unveiled at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai in July 2026. Reports say it keeps the K2's one-hour charge for eight hours of work and 30 kg two-arm lifting, and adds a waist joint for posture adjustment and multi-angle part alignment on factory lines. No price or delivery date published.
Wheeled, dual-arm humanoid with a lifting structure, shown alongside the K3 at WAIC 2026. It separates moving around from doing the task, and Kepler pitches it as a cost-effective option for mass deployment on standardised factory floors, plus commercial service work. No specifications, price or delivery timing published.
Family of four-legged robots Kepler billed as the world's first 'hybrid-architecture' quadruped, debuted at WAIC 2026: a rideable model that carries a person or cargo up 45-degree slopes, a heavy-duty flatbed (about 300 kg, near one-tonne payload) and a mid-size model for tight spaces. All use Kepler's planetary roller screws; reported runtime is eight hours.
Kepler's full-size 'blue-collar' humanoid for factories, warehouses and special operations, launched at GITEX GLOBAL 2024. It uses in-house planetary roller screw actuators and dexterous hands, and has worked at car plants on inspection, loading, handling and welding, including SAIC-GM in Shanghai. The Robot Report quoted a US$30,000 base price in June 2025.
