Kinisi Robotics

Kinisi KR1 is a wheeled two-arm humanoid from Kinisi Robotics, described as a prototype for warehouse and industrial pick-and-place, sorting, and kitting. It is reported to carry a 10 kg payload, measure 162 cm tall and 100 kg in a third-party directory, and travel at either 2.4 m/s or 14.4 km/h depending on source. The system is claimed to be autonomous using VLA and Robot Foundation Models, with imitation learning and demonstration-based task programming. Evidence includes a company-described towel-folding demo and unnamed paid pilot programs, but no named customer deployments or independent benchmarks. Bear Robotics signed an agreement to acquire Kinisi in June 2026. There is no confirmed official price or purchase path
