Kepler K3W

K3W is the wheeled member of Kepler's K3 family. Kepler launched it at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai in July 2026, alongside the biped K3 Bumblebee. It combines a four-wheel omnidirectional chassis, a lifting column and two arms. Kepler describes the design as separating locomotion from manipulation so the base can move efficiently while the upper body works across a larger vertical range.

The official World Robot Conference exhibitor listing gives a body weight of 120 kg and 43 degrees of freedom. It also attributes a 30 kg combined dual-arm payload, eight hours of runtime and a one-hour charge to K3W. That resolves an earlier ambiguity in launch coverage, which described those endurance and payload figures near the biped K3 without explicitly assigning them to the wheeled model.

Kepler positions K3W for production, warehouse transfer, inspection, maintenance and research or education. No height, maximum speed, battery capacity or price has been published, and no public order page was found. It remains classified as a prototype because public demonstrations are documented but customer deployment or general availability is not.
