SUMMARY

 

Kengo is Galaxea Dynamics’ first fully bipedal humanoid robot, launched June 2026.It stands 170 cm tall, weighs 65 kg, and features 32 degrees of freedom plus 12‑DoF dexterous hands.Kengo is designed for commercial services, home assistance, industrial tasks, and embodied‑AI research, with a payload capacity of 20 kg and advanced locomotion abilities including stair climbing and fall recovery.

 

EDITORIAL

 

Kengo marks Galaxea’s transition from wheeled humanoids (R1 series) to true legged humanoids.Its simplified actuator architecture — only two actuator module types across the whole body — reflects a mass‑manufacturing strategy aimed at scalability.Unlike many demo‑focused humanoids, Kengo is explicitly positioned for real‑world deployment, from logistics to household chores, making it a serious contender in China’s humanoid race.
