UK-based low-cost multi-functional humanoid robot company From Humanoids to Real-World Robots Our founder, Bren, first discovered his passion for robotics when he saw humanoid robots on TV. Inspired by their human-like movement, he turned his house into a robotics lab and began building early prototypes. This passion led to a 10-year journey in top research labs worldwide, culminating in studying a Ph.D. in humanoid robotics at TUM. With a track record of building and scaling companies, including Robotize and Bear Robotics, Bren has deployed 10k+ robots worldwide and raised $180M+ from top investors like SoftBank. His expertise bridges the gap between AI research and real-world applications, enabling robots to work seamlessly alongside humans. Frustrated by the limitations of hardcoded robotics, our founder saw the potential of reinforcement learning to create robots that interact with the real world. With this vision, Kinisi Robotics was born. In just six months, we developed KR1, a prototype designed to tackle dirty, repetitive tasks across industries. Today, we’re scaling KR1 for full production to transform how physical work gets done.
