Kepler Forerunner

Overview

Kepler focuses on dependable mobility and adaptable manipulation. The platform’s actuator design and perception stack support accurate foot placement, stable walking, and controlled two-arm workflows for bin picking, transfers, and station work. With a compact 170 cm frame and 15 kg payload, it’s designed to fit existing cells and aisles without major re-tooling—making Kepler a practical path for teams piloting humanoid automation in real environments.
