🧠 Key Features & Technologies

1. Force-Control Actuators

K1’s dual-encoder actuators enable precise hybrid control of torque, velocity, and position, delivering smooth, natural, and impact-resistant motions.

2. AI Computing Platform — NVIDIA Orin NX (40 TOPS)

Based on NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU with 512 CUDA cores and 64 Tensor Cores, the Orin NX provides up to 40 TOPS (INT8) AI inference performance. It supports TensorRT, CUDA, cuDNN, and DeepStream for optimized deep learning deployment. With 10–25 W power consumption, it achieves a strong balance between performance and battery life, enabling on-device vision processing, speech recognition, and motion planning without cloud dependency.

3. Open Software Ecosystem

Full ROS 2 integration with compatibility for Gazebo, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, and Webots. An official open-source RoboCup framework is available on GitHub, including modules for vision, decision-making, and game control. Developers can freely customize AI modules and control algorithms.

4. Education & Research Friendly

Provides SDK and Python / C++ APIs for robotics and AI teaching. Ideal for experiments in reinforcement learning, humanoid locomotion, and multi-sensor fusion.

5. Extensible Design

Supports 5G / Wi-Fi communication for remote control and multi-robot coordination. Modular hardware design allows easy replacement or addition of cameras, joints, and sensors.
