Overview

Kinisi Robotics set out to create a “practical humanoid” that fits seamlessly into today’s aisles and work‑cells; KR1 keeps two human‑scale arms while moving on a low‑profile omnidirectional base, avoiding the complexity of bipedal legs yet preserving reach, shelving height, and line‑of‑sight interaction.
