Shenzhen-based KinetixAI unveiled KAI, its first humanoid robot so lifelike it's mistaken for a human: 1.73m tall, 70kg, 115 degrees of freedom (36 in the hands alone), full-body tactile skin, and no face. Powered by the KAI World Model trained on large-scale egocentric data, it can fold clothes, use tools, handle deliveries, and assist with childcare — prompting the author to raise expectations for Tesla Optimus v3.
