Kepler Robotics

The company's business model centers on creating a software-hardware integrated system for its robots, combining an "intelligent brain" with "industrial-grade hardware." Kepler's flagship products include the Forerunner series (K1, S1, D1) and the K2 "Bumblebee" model. These robots stand 178 cm tall, weigh 85 kg, and feature 40 degrees of freedom, including 12 in the hands, allowing them to perform complex tasks. They are engineered with proprietary planetary roller screw actuators for agile and stable movement. The robots' cognitive functions are powered by the self-developed NEBULA system, an AI-powered platform that integrates visual perception, language understanding, and decision-making.

Kepler targets a range of industries, including industrial automation, logistics, manufacturing, education, research, and emergency services. The company's strategy involves making advanced robotics more accessible, with plans for mass production and an estimated retail price between $20,000 and $30,000. To foster innovation and application development, Kepler has launched the Kepler OS, an open developer platform providing tools, interfaces, and documentation for customization. In February 2026, Kepler announced it had secured over 100 million yuan in a strategic financing round led by Hangzhou Kelin Electric Co., Ltd., which acquired a 10% stake in the company. This partnership is intended to enhance Kepler's supply chain, accelerate research and development, and facilitate market entry into the power grid, new energy, and industrial sectors.
