Kinsi 01
Last updated:
Kinsi 01 is a wheeled humanoid robot engineered by Kinsi Robotics for high-throughput logistics and warehouse automation. Standing 162 cm tall, it combines LLM-driven intelligence with a stable wheeled base to achieve speeds up to 14.4 km/h, significantly outperforming unstable bipedal prototypes in shared spaces. The robot features dual arms with a 10 kg payload capacity per arm, enabling precise pick-and-place, sorting, and assembly tasks. Powered by hot-swappable batteries, it offers an 8-hour runtime for continuous shifts. Equipped with stereo depth cameras and a 180° LiDAR array, Kinsi 01 utilizes visual SLAM for autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance. Its onboard NVIDIA Jetson computing ensures rapid local decision-making without cloud dependency, while imitation learning allows operators to teach tasks via simple demonstration, eliminating the need for complex coding.
