Booster Robotics :: High-Performance, Developer-Friendly Humanoid Robots & Embodied AI Platforms

Booster Robotics is a Chinese humanoid robotics company founded in June 2023 and headquartered in China. Led by CEO Cheng Hao (Tsinghua University alumnus), the company focuses on developing high-performance, developer-friendly humanoid robots and embodied AI platforms. It aims to accelerate the adoption of humanoid robots in research, education, competitions, and eventually industrial applications by creating accessible hardware, software, and development tools. The company has grown rapidly, securing tens of millions of dollars in Pre-A funding and gaining international visibility.

Booster Robotics emphasizes durability, ease of secondary development, and real-world performance. Its robots have achieved notable success in global competitions, including consecutive world championships at the IEEE-RAS Humanoids conference (in racing and obstacle avoidance/door opening events). The company is also an official partner of RoboCup.

Key robot-based products include:

• Booster T1: The company’s flagship full-size humanoid robot. It features advanced mobility (running, dynamic balance, obstacle navigation), dexterous manipulation, and robust construction. The T1 has been showcased at major events like NVIDIA’s Spring Party (signed by Jensen Huang) and is shipping worldwide. It supports extensive secondary development and is designed for both research and competition use.
• Booster K1: A more compact or education-oriented model designed for developers, students, and introductory embodied AI learning. It supports visual programming and progressive skill development from basic control to advanced decision-making.

Booster offers a full ecosystem including operating systems, simulation tools, and development kits. The platform is optimized for researchers, educators, and developers, with strong emphasis on open programmability and integration with modern AI frameworks. The company positions itself as a bridge between cutting-edge humanoid hardware and practical embodied intelligence applications.
