Kepler Exploration Robot K2 Bumblebee / Forerunner K2

K2 is Kepler's most relevant robot for factory owners because it is explicitly positioned for intelligent manufacturing, warehousing/logistics, high-risk operations, patrol/inspection, material handling, stamping material collection, and quality inspection. It should be evaluated first in a narrow, fenced or supervised workflow before any open-floor production use.

Manipulation and Perception

Manipulation details need verification.

Perception stack details need verification.

SDK and Integration

SDK/API details need verification.

API typeOpen interfaces, developer platform, visual programming tools, API documentation claimed
LanguagesUnknown publicly; request SDK details from supplier
ROS supportunknown
SimulationSupplier materials reference developer workflows and real-world cases; buyer should request supported simulators, digital twin tools, and offline testing environment.
Offline operationNeeds verification
DocumentationOpen documentation
Integration constraintsTreat as an advanced industrial mobile-manipulation platform, not a plug-and-play cobot. Production use requires integration with safety PLCs, emergency stops, guarded zones, plant network policy, MES/WMS/ERP interfaces, work instructions, and recovery procedures.

Safety Notes

No verified collaborative safety certification captured. Use physical separation, speed limits, safety-rated monitored stops, emergency stop integration, supervised operation, defined geofences, and integrator-led risk assessment during pilots.

Compliance and Certificates

StandardStatusJurisdictionEvidence
CE marking Unknown European Union No verified public CE certificate or EU Declaration of Conformity captured. Factory owner should request the signed Declaration of Conformity, technical file scope, importer details, applied harmonised standards, exact robot configuration, end-effector scope, charger/battery compliance, and software version.
EU AI Act review_may_be_required European Union If autonomous perception, navigation, collision avoidance, or task planning is used as a safety function, AI Act high-risk analysis may be needed.
EU Machinery review Requires buyer review European Union A humanoid in a factory is not just a product purchase; the final cell/application must be risk-assessed with guarding, safe stops, operating modes, instructions, training, maintenance, and residual-risk documentation.
IEC 62443 recommended_review International Recommended because public materials mention 5G/Wi-Fi, cloud-based cognition, multi-robot collaboration, and developer APIs.
ISO 10218 Requires buyer review International / Europe Validate both robot design and robot-cell integration. Humanoid mobility, whole-body manipulation, nontraditional end effectors, and worker proximity require special assessment.
ISO/TS 15066 Requires buyer review International / Europe Required if marketed or used in collaborative operation. Verify force/pressure limits, safe speed, separation monitoring, human detection, and application-specific contact hazards.
