DESCRIPTION
The K3 Bumblebee is the successor generation of Kepler's bipedal humanoid, standing 174 cm and weighing 83 kg with 53 degrees of freedom. Over the K2 it upgrades to 17 rotary actuators with 220 Nm peak torque, adds a waist joint group, moves the vision system to the Orbbec Gemini 335 depth camera, and steps the motion computer up to an Intel i5-1240P, while keeping the 14 planetary roller screw linear actuators and 11-DoF tendon-driven tactile hands.
FEATURES
- 53-DoF whole-body control with added waist joints
- 17 rotary actuators at 220 Nm peak
- KEPLERGEAR hands with 891 precision parts and 1,200 N tendon load
- VTLA (vision-tactile-language-action) full-modal stack.
