About Forerunner K2

Kepler Robotics' Forerunner K2 is a fifth-generation industrial humanoid engineered for extended autonomous operation. At 178 cm tall with 52 degrees of freedom, the K2 achieves 8 hours of continuous operation from a 2.33 kWh battery that charges in just one hour. Its rope-driven five-digit hands support 11 degrees of active and passive freedom per hand, each capable of lifting 15 kg. Every fingertip houses a sensor array with 96 contact points, delivering exceptional tactile feedback. The proprietary planetary roller screw actuators generate up to 8,000 Newtons of thrust. In July 2025, the K2 completed an 8-hour continuous livestream at the World AI Conference, demonstrating deployment readiness for factory and logistics environments.
