China’s humanoid robot Bumblebee now walks with human-like gait
This Chinese humanoid robot combines language understanding with a disturbance-resistant gait, pointing to the future of workplace robotics.
In the scheme described by the company, the linear actuators act as the robot’s “leg muscles,” providing primary walking force, while the rotary units handle fine adjustments and gait switching to accommodate different terrains. The company portrays K2 “Bumblebee” as the first commercially available humanoid robot to integrate a hybrid architecture using roller screw linear actuators and argues this foundation positions it to compete on performance and deployment breadth. Kepler further situates its progress within China’s broader push in robotics, stating that domestic innovators have emerged as significant contributors to industry growth and that K2 aims to translate technology upgrades into practical, multi-scenario operations.
