Keenon Robotics Unveils KOM 3.0 Model at 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing

From August 19 to 23, 2026, the World Robot Conference (WRC) took place at the Yichuang International Exhibition Center in Beijing. The event, themed 'Human-Machine Symbiosis, Integration of Production and Demand,' featured over 300 exhibitors and more than 2,000 exhibits. Keenon Robotics showcased its XMAN series humanoid robots alongside specialized robots for delivery and cleaning, creating an 'embodied community' that demonstrated the capabilities of the KOM 3.0 model.

The KOM 3.0 model represents a significant advancement in intelligent robotics, enabling robots to autonomously execute long-range tasks with a closed-loop system. This model integrates a latent space world model within its service industry VLA architecture, allowing robots to not only perceive and understand their environment but also to predict and make decisions before taking action. This leap towards a 'predict-decision-execute' framework enhances the robots' operational efficiency and reliability.

Looking ahead, Keenon Robotics aims to further commercialize humanoid robots, emphasizing the importance of real-world application over mere demonstrations. The company has established itself as a leader in the service robotics sector, with over 100,000 units shipped globally. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
