A Chinese startup founded in 2023 created a humanoid robot that already has a world title, can dance like Michael Jackson and costs less than a high-end iPhone, this is how the story of the Booster K1 begins; created by
Booster Robotics in Beijing.
The K1 was born with an eager objective, to bring incorporated intelligence to schools, laboratories, even homes, the small robot measures 95 cm, weighs 19 kg and has demonstrated what it is capable of, it won the Robo Cup 2025, the largest robot soccer championship in the world and a detail, the runner-up team also used the K1; It wasn't luck, it was mastery, its compact body hides a powerful architecture, 22 degrees of freedom in arms and legs, fluid movements and a mind powered by an 8GB nvidia jets agx orin, capable of up to 117 trillion operations per second for a $6,000 humanoid, that's simply incredible.
In terms of vision, hearing and balance, it offers a complete package for advanced research, RGBB camera with nine-axis IMU depth and a hearing system that allows interaction with the environment, everything is compatible with Ross 2 with direct support for simulation in Nvidia ISM, but K1 does not want to be just an athlete, he dances, interacts with children, participates in programming classes and paves the way for any university, even garage startups, to develop their own applications.
The company has already brought in millions of investments and is building a complete family of robots, including the T1 that won the adult size category of the Robocup with the team from one of the most advanced universities in robotics in the world. Until recently, humanoid robots were the exclusive toys of large corporations.
Booster K1 for $5,999 is another model that breaks that historical barrier, now, any technology laboratory can have a humanoid running, kicking and learning alongside the students.
