KR1

Overview

The Kinisi Robotics KR1 is an industrial bipedal humanoid standing 162 cm and weighing 100 kg with a 25 kg carrying capacity. Kinisi Robotics positions the KR1 as a heavy-duty industrial platform capable of handling loads that lighter humanoids cannot, with a body weight of 100 kg reflecting the robust actuator design needed to sustain 25 kg carrying tasks over a working shift. Pricing has not been publicly announced and the KR1 is currently available to select buyers and industrial partners. The 100 kg body weight is one of the highest in the humanoid category, suggesting a design prioritising carrying capacity and structural rigidity over agility and energy efficiency. UK buyers should assess floor load capacity and safety exclusion zone requirements before deployment planning.

Key Specifications

• Height: 162 cm
• Weight: 100 kg
• Carrying capacity: 25 kg
• Price: not publicly announced
• Status: available to select buyers

Use Cases

The KR1 targets heavy manufacturing, warehousing, and industrial material handling where the 25 kg carrying capacity is a genuine operational advantage. Its compact 162 cm height means it can operate in lower-ceiling industrial environments inaccessible to taller humanoids. Applications include pallet preparation, bin transfer, and assembly line material supply.

Buying Used

No secondhand units are available at this time. When units do become available, the high body weight of 100 kg means that condition of the lower limb joints and the structural integrity of the torso are critical inspection points. Safety certification documentation should also be requested, as a 100 kg bipedal robot operating near human workers requires formal risk assessment under UK workplace safety regulations.

Alternatives to Consider

• Agility Digit ($100,000): proven logistics deployment with a lower weight and established service infrastructure
• Apptronik Apollo ($100,000): 25 kg payload with a swappable battery system for continuous operation
• Galbot G1 ($88,000 to $98,000): wheeled dual-arm with 10 kg payload and greater stability on flat surfaces
