In many robotics programmes, students spend more time working with simulations or isolated software components than experimenting with a real humanoid robot.
As a result, much of the work ends up being done in simulation, far from real-world constraints.
Between cost, deployment constraints and integration complexity, bringing this type of platform into an academic environment is still far from straightforward.
The K1 by Booster Robotics was designed to help bridge this gap, offering an accessible humanoid platform, compatible with ROS2, for teaching, student projects and research work.

OF A K1 EDU ROBOT
1 000€ de remise sur chaque K1 supplémentaire
The K1 can be used to support a wide range of academic activities, including:
From a hardware perspective, the K1 is a compact humanoid robot measuring around 95 cm and weighing 19.5 kg. It features 22 degrees of freedom, a stereo depth camera, an IMU and, depending on the version, up to 200 TOPS of AI computing power.
These capabilities provide a solid basis for lab sessions, student projects and research work.
The K1 can be a good platform for higher education and research, provided it genuinely matches your teaching or research objectives.

In an academic setting, the K1 is primarily a platform for teaching and experimentation. It can be introduced into a curriculum, used to structure lab sessions or student projects, and provides a reliable platform for demonstrations, scientific events and research outreach.
The absence of grippers or manipulation capabilities is not necessarily a limitation in this context. In many academic projects, the objective is not object manipulation, but rather to work on a humanoid platform that is safe and easy to integrate into teaching or research environments.
The K1 therefore follows a coherent positioning: offering a humanoid platform that is easier to deploy and adapted to educational use and early-stage research.
The K1 can be used for:
The K1 is concretely integrated into the RoboCup ecosystem. Booster Robotics is a partner of the RoboCup Federation and provides an official RoboCup demo for its humanoid robots, including the software building blocks required for vision, decision-making and game control.
This demo is presented by Booster Robotics as enabling the robot to make autonomous decisions in order to play a full match.
For universities and research labs, this is a relevant advantage: the platform is connected to an internationally recognised framework with concrete use cases related to humanoid robotics and autonomy.
This positioning goes beyond a simple presence in the ecosystem: it provides institutions with a concrete framework to connect teaching, experimentation and scenarios inspired by competitive robotics. In addition, the RoboCup 2026 humanoid programme mentions Booster Robotics among the partner manufacturers providing access to dedicated platforms for participating teams.
Throughout April 2026, Génération Robots is offering a 20% discount on the purchase of a K1 Edu humanoid robot. Benefit from an additional €1,000 discount for each extra K1 robot ordered.
