Booster K1 Humanoid Robot
Booster K1
A full-size humanoid robot built for middle school, high school, undergraduate, and research environments. Affordable, portable, and powerful enough for serious development.
RoboCup Official Partner
Recognized partner of the world's premier robotics competition.
2x IEEE-RAS World Champion
Won first place in racing and obstacle avoidance categories.
Featured by NVIDIA
Booster Robotics showcased at NVIDIA's Spring Festival. Signed by Jensen Huang.
Affordable
Built to put a real humanoid platform within reach of schools and research labs without enterprise-grade pricing.
Portable
No disassembly needed. Fits in a single case for global transport. At just 0.95m and under 20kg, one person can move it.
Durable
High-performance computing, fast response, and a build designed for repeated use in real classroom and lab conditions.
Made for Champions.
The K1 is built by Booster Robotics, the team behind multiple world championship robots and the official robot of RoboCup. When your students build with the K1, they are building on the same platform powering global competition.
Official Partner of RoboCup
Booster Robotics is officially recognized as RoboCup's robot partner. The K1 platform powers competition teams worldwide and supports full secondary development for custom strategies.
Two World Championships
Booster robots took first place in both the racing competition and the obstacle avoidance and door opening competition at the IEEE-RAS Humanoids conference.
Signed by Jensen Huang
Booster Robotics was the only humanoid robotics company represented at NVIDIA's Spring Festival event, where their robot was personally signed by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang — a direct endorsement of the Booster platform the K1 is built on.
