22 degrees of freedom for locomotion and experimentation

The Booster K1 features 22 degrees of freedom, distributed across the legs, arms and head to enable smooth motion and realistic locomotion scenarios.

  • Legs: 6 DoF × 2
  • Arms: 4 DoF × 2
  • Head: 2 DoF

Its torque-controlled joints with dual encoders enable hybrid torque / speed / position control. This architecture is suitable for work on biped walking, balance control, joint control, autonomous motion and interaction with the environment.

Up to 200 TOPS of embedded AI computing power

Depending on the selected configuration, the Booster K1 humanoid robot provides up to 200 TOPS of computing power. It can therefore support projects in computer vision, object recognition, tracking, scene analysis, voice commands and machine learning.

Thanks to its compatibility with Python, ROS and ROS2, the K1 easily integrates into software environments commonly used in engineering programs and robotics labs.

Integrated sensors for perception and interaction

  • Stereo / depth camera: 3D perception and environmental analysis
  • 9-axis IMU: orientation, balance and motion tracking
  • Microphone array: voice recognition and sound localization
  • Speaker: audio interaction with users
  • Tactile sensors: physical contact detection for safer interaction

Connectivity and development

  • Wi-Fi 6
  • Bluetooth 5.2
  • Gigabit Ethernet RJ45
  • API / SDK for secondary development

FAQ – Booster K1

Who is the Booster K1 for?

For educational institutions (STEM/robotics), research labs and teams that want a compact humanoid platform to develop, test and demonstrate algorithms.

Which version should you choose: Geek, Edu or Pro?

  • Geek: for “plug & play” prototyping and coding on a controlled budget.
  • Edu: the best choice for education (support, accessories, 5Ah battery, education solution).
  • Pro: for R&D and more demanding AI workloads (maximum computing power).

Can you develop in Python / ROS?

Yes, the K1 is suitable for Python projects and ROS integration (depending on your stack and needs). This makes it practical for research and robotics courses.

Which sensors are integrated for perception and interaction?

Binocular/3D camera, 9-axis IMU, microphone array and speaker: enough to work on vision, posture and voice interaction.

What battery life and charging time?

In practice, battery life is about 50 min to 1h20 depending on usage, with a charging time ≤ 1 hour.

Can it be used in competition (e.g., RoboCup)?

Yes, its humanoid format, kinematics (22 DoF) and sensors make it a relevant base for demos and certain competition scenarios, depending on your rules and discipline.

What is included with the purchase?

Contents vary by version (2Ah or 5Ah battery, case, etc.). In all cases, the robot is delivered ready to use with essential accessories (remote control, charger, seat/stand).

What support / warranty is offered?

Geek: 3-month warranty. Edu/Pro: 12-month warranty + 1-year technical support (response within 24 business hours).

What information should I prepare for a quote request?

Please specify: your budget (even if it is a rough estimate), the deadline for your project (short term, awaiting funding, initial study phase prior to the project, etc.), your shipping address, and a short describing your project.
