Each order includes a K-Bot humanoid robot and a battery charger.
We expect to ship the first robots to customers by November 2025. In order to estimate manufacturing volumes and timelines, we are currently accepting orders, which we will fulfill on a first-come, first-serve basis.
At present, we are currently only shipping to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and France. However, if you live in another country and are interested in ordering a K-Bot, please message us directly and we can discuss the feasibility of shipping to your location.
K-Bot is currently an alpha release. We view it as a hardware platform which will become more and more intelligent over time as we improve the software capabilities. To learn more about our roadmap, please reference the Full Autonomy section of this website.
