On the hardware front, the K2 is reported to have 52 degrees of freedom throughout the body. The bot features a rotating and tilting head module, and its arms and legs now benefit from improved rigidity, and are easier to manufacture and maintain.

The "rope-driven" five-digit hands each support up 11 degrees of active and passive freedom, and each "tactile manipulator" can heft up to 15 kg (33 lb). Every fingertip is home to a sensor array boasting 96 contact points.
