Kepler Robotics Announces Advanced Gait Upgrade for K2 “Bumblebee,” Demonstrating the Potential of Hybrid Architecture

SHANGHAI, Sept. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Shanghai Kepler Robotics Co., Ltd. (“Kepler Robotics”) today announced the successful completion of a major gait upgrade for its humanoid robot K2 “Bumblebee,” and released China’s first demonstration video of a “hybrid-architecture disturbance-resistant” gait. In the video, K2 “Bumblebee” steadily navigates a variety of complex terrains—including bricks, plastic surfaces, and grass—and maintains stable steps even when subjected to external pushes, documenting the robot’s ability to maintain balance and adapt to real-world environments.

At the same time, Kepler introduced a demonstration of its VLA+ training platform, highlighting how K2 “Bumblebee” applies a layered VLA+ model to interpret natural language commands and carry out a wide range of tasks.


This dual upgrade in mobility and cognition positions K2 “Bumblebee” for future use across industrial applications, service scenarios, and a growing number of real-world deployments.

Committed to a Hybrid Architecture Based on Roller Screw Linear Actuators
K2 “Bumblebee” incorporates a hybrid design that combines roller screw linear actuators with rotary actuators in a series-parallel configuration, enabling a human-like straight-knee gait. This design pathway is widely acknowledged within the robotics sector as highly complex, requiring advanced kinematic modeling and precise torque control. The advantages, however, are clear: the approach delivers more natural gait, improves energy efficiency, strengthens task execution, and enhances adaptability across diverse environments. This methodology has also been recognized in the development roadmaps of other leading humanoid robotics firms.

Specifically, K2 “Bumblebee” is powered by planetary roller screw linear actuators working in tandem with rotary actuators. The linear actuators function as the robot’s “leg muscles,” providing the primary walking force, while the rotary actuators fine-tune adjustments and gait switching, enabling terrain adaptability. The planetary roller screw is a high-precision transmission component that converts rotary motion into linear motion through planetary drive and threaded engagement. It delivers high load capacity and precision transmission with an energy conversion efficiency of 81.3%. The roller screw also offers low friction, high positioning accuracy, and load-bearing strength superior to ball screws, ensuring smooth and durable operation.

Whether walking, executing tasks, or responding to natural language commands, Kepler’s K2 “Bumblebee” demonstrates reliable stability and accuracy—evidence that humanoid robots designed with hybrid architecture and roller screw linear actuators represent not only human-like form but also a pragmatic solution for efficiency and performance.

Overcoming Engineering Challenges to Achieve a Human-Like Straight-Knee Gait

Achieving a straight-knee gait using hybrid architecture and roller screw linear actuators presents engineering challenges in both mechanics and the transition from simulation to physical performance (the “Sim-to-Real Gap”).

Most commercially available robots built with quasi-direct-drive actuators rely on simpler serial structures. To ensure precise control of each K2 “Bumblebee” joint under heavy loads and complex motion, Kepler’s engineering team conducted extensive research into positional, velocity, and torque dynamics between roller screws and their paired joints. This work resulted in the development of a hybrid series-parallel structure. While the architecture introduces more complex kinematic and dynamic modeling, it enables K2 “Bumblebee” to achieve greater precision and stability.

The Sim-to-Real approach is the critical step in transitioning humanoid robots from prototypes to commercial systems. Yet the Sim-to-Real Gap introduces difficulties such as dynamic inconsistencies, sensor noise and latency, environmental variability, limitations in domain randomization, actuator delays and nonlinearities, as well as communication and computation lags—all of which complicate torque control during locomotion. For instance, simulations often rely on idealized ground models with uniform properties, while in practice, even surfaces of the same material can vary significantly in friction, elasticity, and other attributes. This discrepancy can cause gait strategies optimized in simulation to result in slippage or instability in real-world conditions.

Kepler Robotics has addressed these challenges by enabling K2 “Bumblebee” to dynamically switch gaits across complex terrains through a combination of reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and linear actuator torque control—producing a natural, human-like straight-knee walk. At the same time, Kepler trains the robot with simulated data to improve its general perception and language comprehension, while real-world datasets allow the system to directly learn from human movement. Through this dual-data flywheel of continuous learning, and with the layered VLA+ model supporting semantic recognition and task-oriented guidance for understanding, reasoning, and planning, K2 “Bumblebee” continues to improve its task execution reliability.

Expanding Steadily Into Real-World Application Scenarios
The latest gait upgrade of Kepler’s K2 “Bumblebee” not only confirms the progress of its hybrid architecture in humanoid gait control but also expands its real-world applicability. Commercial use cases include scientific research and education, exhibition and customer engagement, as well as data collection and training. Industrial deployments extend to logistics and material handling, intelligent manufacturing, and specialized operations. With the ability to operate across multiple sectors and supported by continuous learning and training, K2 “Bumblebee” is evolving into a versatile, capable operator in enterprise environments.

The year 2025 is widely viewed as the first year of humanoid robot commercialization. Looking ahead, the global humanoid robotics market will be shaped not only by hardware and algorithms, but also by ecosystems and scaled deployments. Companies that succeed in overcoming the barriers of cost and scalability will establish a clear competitive advantage. Kepler’s K2 “Bumblebee” is laying a strong foundation of competitive strengths in the humanoid robotics sector. These include its technology upgrades, multi-scenario adaptability, one-hour charging that supports up to eight hours of operation, a 30 kg payload capacity, more than 80% of hardware developed in-house, and best-in-class cost efficiency.

In recent years, robotics innovators in China have rapidly emerged as significant contributors to the industry’s growth. As the first commercially available humanoid robot to integrate a hybrid architecture with roller screw linear actuators, Kepler’s K2 “Bumblebee” is positioned to capitalize on its comprehensive commercial strengths in practical deployments, redefining production models across industries.

Psoriatic disease is a lifelong, systemic inflammatory condition, often coexisting with other NCDs, such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and depression. An estimated 60 million people live with the disease. Despite the numbers, psoriatic disease has been overlooked in the health systems worldwide.

The first and only resolution on psoriasis was adopted by WHO in 2014, recognizing it as a major public health concern. Since then, the progress has been poor. IFPA is calling for a greater global commitment to ensure that the needs of people with psoriatic disease are integrated into global and national health policies.

To amplify this call, IFPA representatives are traveling to New York to participate in the upcoming United Nations High-Level Meeting on Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) – at UN Headquarters on September 25. This event brings together health leaders, experts, and policymakers to shape the future of NCD prevention and care. IFPA is seizing this opportunity to advocate for more inclusive policies, improved access to care, and greater recognition of psoriatic disease within the broader NCD agenda.

As a part of this advocacy initiative, IFPA organizes a high-level conversation in partnership with Devex on the sidelines of UNGA, titled: Psoriatic Disease and NCDs: Putting Lived Experience at the Heart of Policy. The event takes place at the Devex NCD Pavilion in New York on September, 22.

Zhimeng Biopharma’s Investigational Drug Approved to Initiate Phase 2 Epilepsy Clinical Trial in China

SHANGHAI, Sept. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Shanghai Zhimeng Biopharma, Inc. (“Zhimeng Biopharma”) announced that its self-developed novel next-generation KCNQ2/3 potassium channel opener, CB03-154, has recently received clinical trial approval from the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial in China for refractory epilepsy. This follows the CDE’s approval in July of this year for Phase 2/3 clinical studies in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The upcoming trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multinational, multicenter study designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety, and tolerability of CB03-154 as an adjunctive therapy in adult patients (18-70 years old) with focal epilepsy.

Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder characterized by seizures or episodes of abnormal behavior, sensations, and sometimes loss of consciousness. It affects approximately 90 million patients globally, with about 9 million in China. Existing treatments fall far short of meeting the clinical needs of epilepsy patients; nearly 30% have refractory epilepsy that cannot be controlled with monotherapy. The pathogenesis of the disease is related to alterations in ion channels and synaptic transmission/connectivity, primarily caused by an imbalance between neuronal excitation and inhibition. As the structural basis for neuronal excitability and activity, dysfunctional ion channels are closely associated with the development of epilepsy. Among them, potassium (K+) channels are the most widely distributed and diverse type of ion channel, primarily involved in regulating neuronal excitability and the frequency and amplitude of action potentials.

CB03-154 is a novel next-generation KCNQ2/3 potassium channel opener developed by Zhimeng Biopharma. It demonstrates good chemical and metabolic stability, in vitro and in vivo anti-epileptic activity/efficacy, pharmacokinetic properties, and safety. It also possesses more specific ion channel selectivity, potentially overcoming the safety issues associated with first-generation drugs. Currently, clinical studies for CB03-154 in epilepsy are also underway in Australia.

Research suggests that KCNQ2/3 potassium channel openers could be effective not only for epilepsy but also for major depressive disorder (MDD), ALS, and neuropathic pain. Previously, CB03-154 tablets had also been granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) by the U.S. FDA for development in the treatment of ALS patients.

Dr. Huanming Chen, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Zhimeng Biopharma, stated: ” Zhimeng has consistently focused on research in liver diseases and central nervous system disorders. From target exploration to molecule optimization, from pharmaceutical research to preclinical evaluation, we have always advanced our projects with a scientifically rigorous attitude, ultimately gaining continuous recognition from regulatory agencies. Thanks to the team’s efforts and the support of all investors and research institutions. We are committed to deepening our work in areas of unmet clinical need, progressing clinical trials in full speed, and providing patients with safer and more effective treatment options.”

As a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, Zhimeng Biopharma has consistently focused on the development of innovative drugs for antiviral and central nervous system diseases. The company has established a rich pipeline covering multiple stages of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication cycle and several indications within neurological disorders. Besides the investigational drug CB03-154 for epilepsy and ALS, the company’s novel HBV core protein inhibitor, ZM-H1505R, for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB), has also entered pivotal Phase 3 clinical studies.

About Zhimeng 

Founded in 2018, Shanghai Zhimeng Biopharma, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to develop small-molecule drug discovery focused on the functional cure of chronic hepatitis B (CHB), as well as novel therapies for CNS disorders, including epilepsy, neuropathic pain (e.g., cancer-related pain), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), major depressive disorder (MDD), and bipolar disorder.  Zhimeng has successfully completed multiple rounds of financing.

 

Nework Launches NewBoard E Series to Spark Interactive Learning in U.S. Classrooms

POMONA, Calif., Sept. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Nework, a rising player in audiovisual and collaborative solutions, has launched its NewBoard E Series interactive displays in the U.S. education market.
