At WAIC 2026, Kinetix AI demonstrated its full-stack embodied AI system. The KAIBot humanoid has 115 DOF (world's highest), 173cm height, 70kg weight, 18,000 tactile sensors (0.1N precision), capable of autonomous table tennis and conversation. The KAIHand dexterous hand (37 DOF, 30N fingertip force) is now on sale. The KAIHalo Lite data-collection headband (300g) enables real-time 3D reconstruction. The company pursues a full-stack approach: KAI world model, hardware, data, and infrastructure. CEO Dr. Yu Jie (ex-Huawei autonomous driving) emphasizes 'AI defines hardware.' Data pipeline produces millions of samples weekly; infra platform accelerates 10x. They released a 100,000-hour egocentric dataset and plan to deliver hundreds of humanoids by 2027. Ultimate goal: home service robots with downloadable skill apps.
