Kepler Forerunner K2

Evidence not ready K2

EVIDENCE NOT READY — evidence confidence Very Low. This describes our evidence, not the machine.

Branded identity panel for the Kepler Forerunner K2 by Kepler Robotics. This is a graphic generated by Physical AI Radar, not a photograph of the robot.
Capability 5.2 What it has been shown to do
Commercial reality 5.3 Whether anyone pays for it
Evidence confidence 14.0 Very Low — how much to trust the two numbers left
Research completeness 70.0% of our research checklist

These are four separate answers and are never combined. A calculated 0.0 means we scored the dimension and nothing earned credit; insufficient data means we could not calculate it at all. Neither ranks above the other. What this means →

Why these scores

Capability is 5.2 because 3 publication-eligible claim(s) fall in capability categories that carry weight for a humanoid robot. Only the strongest claim in each category counts. Commercial Reality is 5.3 based on 0 independently confirmed paying production customer(s) and 0 verified production unit(s). Evidence Confidence is 14.0 (Very Low) from 3 publishable claim(s), of which 3 are score-bearing.

Capability evidence

What the evidence actually establishes.

Only the strongest claim in each capability category earns credit. A claim can be publishable and still carry no score credit.

Autonomous Task Execution

No credit

Kepler LinkedIn states K2 'Bumblebee' performed autonomous navigation and component loading/unloading at Zhaofeng Motor. Source is Kepler's own LinkedIn (Social Media / First Party, ceiling=1). Named customer is a research lead only — NOT Independent Customer without customer-origin confirmation. T0 from this source.

T0 - Claimed Mode: Unknown SRC-000039

Manipulation

No credit

Kepler official K2 page claims dual-arm collaborative handling up to 25-30 kg. CONFIGURATION SCOPE: Bipedal Development configuration. Manufacturer claim only; independent task evidence required for higher tier credit.

T1 - Demonstrated Mode: Not Applicable SRC-000038

Mobility

No credit

Kepler official K2 page lists Basic, Bipedal Development (52 DoF) and Wheeled Development (30 DoF) configurations at approximately 175cm height. All claims must be configuration-scoped. 90-day delivery lead time establishes commercial availability trajectory.

Commercial reality

Who is paying, and what is actually running.

Contracted units and verified production units are different facts and are kept in different fields. Nothing here implies progression that has not happened.
