HMND 01 vs Kepler K2 Bumblebee

HMND 01 Alpha Wheeled is Humanoid's tall 220 cm, 300 kg wheeled humanoid with 29 active DoF, 15 kg bimanual payload, 4 h average runtime and 2 m/s wheeled speed. It uses a 12-DoF hand or 1-DoF gripper and 360-degree RGB plus depth sensors. Evidence includes a Ford POC with company-reported 97% autonomous pick-and-place reliability and 83 picks/hour, a Schaeffler CES bin picking demo described as fully autonomous, and early access partnerships with Schaeffler, Siemens and SAP/Martur Fompak. Bosch is the contract manufacturing partner. No public price exists, and most deployments are POCs or early access rather than full commercial operations

Kepler K2 Bumblebee is a commercial industrial humanoid from Shanghai. It is 175 cm, 75 kg, 52 DoF, with 11-DoF hands, a hybrid roller-screw/rotary actuator design, 100 TOPS compute, and a claimed 30 kg dual-arm payload and 8-hour runtime on a one-hour charge. Kepler lists a $30,000 base price or RMB 248,000 and announced mass production and shipments in September 2025. The most concrete positive evidence is a company-described gait video showing the robot walking over bricks, plastic and grass and remaining stable under pushes. Commercial proof is limited: confirmed orders of over 47 million yuan are reported, and an official video title suggests a Zhaofeng Motor on-the-job log, but 2025 revenue was only 4.34 million yuan with heavy losses and the company was acquired at a lower valuation. Autonomy, endurance and manipulation claims are mostly company statements without independent verification; many demo videos are title-only with no teleoperation disclosure
