Manipulation and Perception

K2 Bipedal Development adds dexterous hands, two force sensors and development access; 52 DOF includes passive hand articulation. Developer table 52 includes 22 hand joints; Basic 30 body DOF. Exact per-configuration payload, reach and approved duty cycle require written scope; family 30 kg is not a guaranteed per-arm rating.

Vision, audio and speaker present in all 3 matrix columns. Developer matrix 100 TOPS, 2 six-axis force sensors and compute upgrade option. V2.1 RGB-D/Intel i5/Orin NX mapping to delivered revision requires confirmation.

SDK and Integration

    Rendered English matrix: Basic 30 DOF/75 kg; biped developer 52/75 kg; wheeled developer 52/135 kg; all 1750 mm. Basic lacks dexterous hands, six-axis force and development access; developer versions have hands, two force sensors and 100 TOPS. Basic carousel nevertheless says 100 TOPS: conflict retained. Warranty 8/12/12 months; indicative delivery 90 days; onsite service/training optional for developer versions. Larger wheeled carousel render matches correct chassis; tiny thumbnail avoided.
