Overview
K-Scale Labs takes an open-source approach with K-Bot, a compact two-legged humanoid. The company publishes its hardware design and its software and machine-learning stack, with firmware and CAD files on GitHub under kscalelabs/kbot.
K-Scale Labs has not confirmed whether the robot is on sale. RS Online's DesignSpark reported a purchase price of USD 8,999 for the first 100 units, sold direct in the US on pre-order, with tax and shipping not stated.
Most physical figures come from RS Online/DesignSpark rather than the maker. It gives a height of 1.4 m, well under the database median of 1.7 m, and a weight of 34 kg, little more than half the 61 kg median. The same source reports arms that lift about 10 kg, without saying whether per arm or combined, a runtime of up to 240 minutes and a swappable battery pack, plus onboard cameras and microphones of unstated specification. The maker has not published degrees of freedom, walking speed, battery capacity, processor or safety certifications.
