Summary

Kinetix AI, a Shenzhen start-up founded in July 2025, unveiled the KAI, also written KAI Bot, in April 2026 as a full-size bipedal humanoid with an unusually high joint count. Trade press reports 115 degrees of freedom in total, 72 of them in the two five-finger hands, each with 22 active and 14 passive joints.

A tactile skin with 18,000 sensing points registers forces down to 0.1 N. The robot stands 173 cm tall, weighs 70 kg, carries up to 20 kg and walks at 5 km/h, which is about 1.39 m/s. A 1.7 kWh semi-solid-state battery is said to give four hours per charge.

Kinetix AI lists family, factory and commercial settings as its targets and plans series production for the end of 2026, so the current status is prototype. Note that the manufacturer's own website publishes no figures at all; every number above comes from press coverage. An expected price below USD 40,000 has been mentioned as an aspiration, not a list price, so the robot remains on request.

For comparison, the Tesla Optimus Gen 2 takes a far more conservative approach to hand complexity.
