Editorial summaries
K2 Bumblebee
Kepler Robotics describes the K2 (Bumblebee) as commercially available and in mass production, priced at about $34,000 (RMB 248,000) per unit per the company's official announcement. Most volume is sold through enterprise framework agreements rather than individual retail. The price is verified from Kepler's own release.
Reflex
Reflex Robotics' Reflex is a wheeled mobile-manipulator humanoid for warehouse and logistics operations: a sub-2-foot wheeled base, dual arms (25 pounds per arm, 50 pounds combined), an adjustable spine reaching floor to high shelf, a 16-plus-hour battery, and swappable three-finger grippers with suction. The verified-vs-claimed point is the autonomy posture: Reflex is designed for teleoperated deployment with a learning-from-demonstrations path toward autonomy, not an autonomous worker today.
DEPLOY records it at pilot maturity with one verified deployment. As industrial and logistics equipment it has no consumer price, and its wheeled base distinguishes it from the bipedal-humanoid cohort.
