Kepler

Kepler is a Shanghai-based humanoid robotics company developing the Forerunner series of full-size bipedal robots for industrial deployment. Its robots combine planetary roller screw actuators with high-density tactile hands to handle complex manipulation tasks at production scale.

Founded in China and headquartered in Shanghai, Kepler has built a product line spanning the K1, K2, S1, and D1 variants of its Forerunner platform. The company targets manufacturing and logistics customers who need dexterous automation that can work alongside human operators without bespoke infrastructure changes. Kepler's proprietary NEBULA AI compute stack delivers 100 TOPS of on-device inference, and the Kepler OS developer platform lets integrators build and deploy custom task skills. With robots currently in pilot deployments, Kepler is positioning itself for broader commercial availability as unit economics improve.
