KR1
Wheeled humanoid robot for warehouse and logistics work
Contact for pricing
The KR1 (also branded Kinisi 01) is a wheeled humanoid robot built by Kinisi Robotics for industrial logistics and manufacturing tasks such as picking, sorting, handling, and transporting. It runs its perception and manipulation intelligence onboard at the edge rather than depending on a cloud connection, and uses an omnidirectional wheeled base for mobility in shared human workspaces. Kinisi positions the platform around real-world pilots, prioritizing practical reliability and affordability over spectacle.

Overview
The Kinisik R1 — marketed by Kinisi Robotics as the KR1 or Kinisi 01 — is a wheeled humanoid robot aimed at industrial logistics and manufacturing. Rather than walking on legs, it uses an omnidirectional wheeled base for stable, zero-turn movement through warehouses, storerooms, and production lines where it works alongside people.
The robot is built around onboard edge intelligence, running its perception and manipulation models locally without relying on a cloud connection. Kinisi pairs stereo depth cameras with a LiDAR-based spatial-awareness system so the machine can navigate and manipulate objects in cluttered, dynamic environments.
Kinisi develops the platform through real-world pilots with customers, framing field performance as the true proof of capability. The company emphasizes a pragmatic, scalable approach to bringing humanoid labor into everyday industrial work.
