The Booster T1 is Booster Robotics' developer-focused humanoid. The company was founded in 2023 and aimed its early strategy at scientific research and education scenarios; the T1 is the body at the centre of that strategy.
Mechanically: 118 × 47 × 23 cm, approximately 30 kg, with 57 cm legs and 45 cm arms. Degrees of freedom vary by configuration: 23 on the base body (six per leg, one waist, four per arm, two head), 31 with grippers and 41 with six-DoF dexterous hands. Joint ranges run to waist ±58°, hip pitch ±118°, knee 0-123° and ankle pitch -50° to 20°.
On the drive side, maximum peak torque is 130 N·m and every joint carries dual encoders. Dual encoders mean the difference between motor shaft and output shaft can be measured, and that measurement is decisive when transferring a policy learned in simulation onto a real body.
Compute is 200 TOPS on an NVIDIA AGX Orin. The Standard and Customized editions also carry an Intel i7 1370p so that x86-bound vision and ROS stacks can run on the robot itself. Perception includes a depth camera, a 9-axis IMU and a circular six-microphone array with a speaker. A 10.5 Ah battery runs two hours walking and four hours standing. Networking covers Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, with USB and Ethernet for expansion.
The software side is what sets the platform apart: comprehensive API interfaces, an open-source framework and open-source tools are published, accompanied by the Booster Gym reinforcement learning environment, the Booster SDK and developer documentation.
The T1 is the champion model of the 2025 RoboCup Soccer AdultSize category and the choice of more than 50 robotics teams and research institutes worldwide. Published customer cases include UC Berkeley FastTD3, Carnegie Mellon FALCON, Purdue's table tennis work and the world championship of Tsinghua Hephaestus.
For organizations with a T1 requirement we assess sourcing, timing and the alternatives deliverable today (the Unitree G1 and H2) transparently.
