About This Robot

Overview

The Booster Robotics K1 represents a significant leap forward in humanoid robotics. It is a full-size, electrically actuated platform designed for versatility, safety, and advanced research. Built from the ground up to be both powerful and approachable, the K1 enables researchers, developers, and innovators to create the next generation of robotic applications. Its robust construction and sophisticated software stack make it an ideal choice for universities, R&D labs, and companies exploring the potential of human-centric automation.

Key Capabilities

Dynamic Bipedal Locomotion

Powered by our proprietary KineticSense™ balance and motion control system, the K1 can walk, sidestep, and navigate cluttered spaces and uneven surfaces with human-like agility. This system ensures stable operation in real-world environments, not just controlled lab settings.

Dexterous Dual-Arm Manipulation

The K1 is equipped with two highly articulated 7-DOF arms, each capable of handling a 5 kg payload. Integrated force-torque sensors at each joint and in the end-effectors provide delicate touch feedback, enabling tasks that require precision and a gentle touch.

CogniCore AI™ Perception

A sophisticated sensor suite, including 360° LiDAR, multiple RGB-D cameras, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU), feeds data into the central CogniCore AI™ engine. This allows for real-time SLAM, object recognition, and human pose estimation, making the K1 truly aware of its environment.

Applications

  • Academic Research: Ideal for studies in locomotion, manipulation, human-robot interaction (HRI), and artificial intelligence.
  • Lab Automation: Capable of performing repetitive tasks such as sample handling, instrument operation, and material transport.
  • Logistics Prototyping: A platform for developing and testing autonomous solutions for future warehouse and fulfillment center operations.
  • Customer Interaction: Can be programmed for roles in hospitality and retail, serving as a guide, assistant, or brand ambassador.

Why Choose The K1?

The Booster Robotics K1 is more than just hardware. It is a complete ecosystem for humanoid research. With its open-source ROS 2-based API, comprehensive documentation, and dedicated support, your team can get started developing groundbreaking applications from day one. Choose the K1 to accelerate your research and be at the vanguard of the robotics revolution.
