Robot Brief

Booster T1 is a lightweight, high-performance, open-source humanoid robot designed specifically for developers and researchers. Standing approximately 118 cm tall and weighing around 30 kg, it features 23 degrees of freedom enabling agile and precise movements. The robot excels in dynamic tasks such as sports-like maneuvers and complex technical actions including kung-fu moves, with smooth motion transitions like standing up from a prone position. Powered by a 14-core CPU and an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin GPU delivering 200 TOPS AI performance, Booster T1 supports advanced onboard AI for perception, autonomous navigation, and manipulation. Its robust metal and engineering plastic chassis ensures durability and resistance to falls. The robot integrates a comprehensive sensor suite including an RGBD camera (Intel RealSense D455), microphone array, 9-axis IMU, and speakers, enabling rich multimodal interaction. Booster T1 is fully compatible with ROS2 and supports major simulation platforms such as Isaac Sim and Mujoco for development and testing. With a 10.5 Ah battery, it offers up to 2 hours of walking autonomy and 4 hours standing. A dedicated mobile app provides real-time control and feedback via Bluetooth, making it highly accessible for experimentation and secondary development.

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.
