Robot Brief

Booster T1 is a lightweight, high-performance, open-source bipedal humanoid robot designed specifically for developers and researchers. The Booster T1 series is highly suitable for secondary development, offering robust software support with interfaces for low-level joints and sensors, as well as high-level motion control. The software system is compatible with the ROS2 communication protocol and provides robot models and simulation interfaces for environments such as Issac sim. A mobile phone app is also available for network configuration and remote control. The different Booster T1 models offer a range of capabilities, from the basic version with 100 TOPS of AI computing power to more advanced models with a more powerful processor (Intel i7 1370p + NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin) providing 200 TOPS, and enhanced arm and hand capabilities for grasping and dexterous manipulatio

Use Cases

Booster T1 performs agile bipedal locomotion, omnidirectional walking, and complex manipulation tasks with precise control over its 23 joints. It can navigate uneven terrain, withstand disturbances, and recover from falls autonomously. The robot supports advanced AI functions such as object recognition, speech recognition, and text-to-speech, facilitating natural human-robot interaction. Its open-source SDK and ROS2 compatibility enable developers to customize motion, integrate sensors, and develop new applications. Booster T1 is suitable for robotics research, education, industrial automation prototyping, and competitive robotics.
