Humanoid Robots · Founded 2023 · Series A++
Kepler Robotics is a Shanghai-based developer of general-purpose humanoid robots, founded in 2023 and led by chief executive Hu Debo. Its Forerunner series is designed for industrial work such as factory inspection, material handling, assembly support and logistics. The company has moved into mass production of a hybrid-architecture humanoid, with framework agreements covering several thousand units. Customers reportedly span industrial services, data operations, exhibitions, smart manufacturing and specialised applications. Funding has come largely from Chinese investors, including SAIF Partners and several A-share listed companies. In February 2026 Hangzhou Kelin Electric took a controlling stake, so the company's funding picture is now tied to that acquisition.
