Kepler OS is a proprietary operating system developed by Kepler Robotics for the Forerunner-series humanoid robots. The system adopts a modular architecture dividing robot functions into independent modules: action execution, visual recognition, and voice handling.
The OS provides built-in intelligent programs including visual recognition, navigation, and gait functions that developers can invoke directly without additional development. It supports visual (drag-and-drop) programming, multi-robot collaboration, online debugging, and OTA updates.
The platform is open to external developers through the Kepler Developer Platform, enabling custom robot application building and AI model deployment on K1 and K2 platforms.
General-purpose or robotics-specialized operating system โ Ubuntu, Ubuntu Core, ROS-aware distributions. Provides the platform for middleware, runtime, and robotic applications.
A Runtime is the environment or execution layer used to run code, load libraries, manage dependencies, and operate applications or services โ either in real time or during normal system operation. In robotics this includes real-time operating system (RTOS) runtimes, ROS 2 executor runtimes, containerised execution environments (Docker, podman), and embedded C++ runtimes on microcontrollers.
Kepler Forerunner K1 and K2 โ industrial deployments in China from 2024.
