Bear Robotics introduces KINO-2 learning platform for KR1

Three key points

  1. KINO-2 learns and evaluates demonstrated manipulation tasks for KR1.
  2. The roughly 500ms-to-60ms comparison is Bear's internal measurement.
  3. Returns and crate handling are pilots, not proof of general task reliability.

Story summary

Bear announced KINO-2 to train and evaluate demonstrated tasks for its KR1 humanoid. It uses Isaac OS and Jetson AGX Thor. Bear reports GR00T inference falling from about 500ms in an initially unoptimized deployment to around 60ms in internal tests. Supermarket returns and warehouse crate handling remain customer pilots.
