Overview
The Booster K1 is Booster Robotics' introductory embodied development platform. It was launched at the Booster Ecosystem Summit in October 2025 and sits at the centre of the company's programme for the education market.
Mechanically: approximately 95 cm tall and 19.5 kg. There are 22 degrees of freedom in total: six per leg, four per arm and two head, with no waist joint. Joint ranges run hip pitch -171° to 126°, roll -22° to 89°, yaw ±59°; knee 0° to 127°; ankle pitch -50° to 20°, roll ±20°. The manufacturer states a peak torque of 60 N·m (product page); every joint carries dual encoders.
The three editions differ in compute, battery and warranty. The Geek edition offers 48 TOPS, a 2 Ah battery and three months of warranty; the Education edition 117 TOPS, a 5 Ah battery and one year; the Professional edition 200 TOPS, a 5 Ah battery and one year. Runtime is 20 to 70 minutes at a 1.1 m/s walk.
Perception includes a stereo depth camera, a 9-axis IMU and a circular three-microphone array with a speaker. There is one power button and three interaction buttons. Networking covers Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 and Gigabit Ethernet. The Doubao large language model is bundled free for six months.
On the software side there is the Booster GYM 2.0 motion library, the open-source Booster SDK, deployment tools and developer documentation; secondary development and firmware upgrades are supported.
Robotlar.org is the official Booster Robotics distributor in Turkey. For schools, universities and organizations the K1 is quoted on a pro forma including taxes and freight; on-site commissioning, teacher and user training and authorized service are provided by Robotlar.org. Lead time is stated in the quote by edition and configuration.
All three editions share the same body, the same 22 degrees of freedom and the same joint structure. The difference is only compute, battery and warranty. The Geek edition's 2 Ah battery gives 20 minutes of runtime; the education and professional editions rise to 70 minutes with 5 Ah.

Key Advantages
The Motion Library with Booster GYM 2.0
With 22 degrees of freedom and Booster GYM 2.0 together, the robot can produce motion at choreography level.
That serves a concrete purpose in education: the student works from an output they can see and reproduce rather than an abstract control problem.
The dance sequence in the video runs from a single motion library.
Stage Performance
The K1 was the centre stage lead performer at the 2025 World Humanoid Robotics Games Federation.
Stage use is a good measure of durability: the robot stays upright for hours, reproduces repeated movements without error, and has zero tolerance for falling in front of an audience.
Choreography on a Single Robot
The sixty newton-metres of peak torque the manufacturer states on its product page is a high ratio for a 19.5 kg body.
It is the source of movements that require rapid weight transfer, turning and stopping.
A hip pitch range from -171° to 126° lets the leg swing forward and back through a wider angle than a human leg.
Education Edition: Classroom Use
With 117 TOPS of compute and a 5 Ah battery, 70 minutes of runtime covers more than one lesson period.
A 95 cm height and 19.5 kg weight mean a teacher can carry the robot between classrooms alone.
The circular three-microphone array and the Doubao large language model bundled free for six months make voice interaction possible without extra setup.
Professional Edition: 200 TOPS
The Professional edition raises compute to 200 TOPS.
The difference is clear: at 48 TOPS you can run pre-trained policies, while 200 TOPS is enough for vision-based inference and larger models on the robot itself.
Because the body, joints and torque are identical across the three editions, choosing an edition is purely a compute and battery decision.
Booster GYM: An Open Reinforcement Learning Environment
Booster GYM is the published reinforcement learning environment for training a policy in simulation and transferring it to a real robot.
It is offered open source alongside the Booster SDK, deployment tools and developer documentation.
The dual encoders on the joints are critical to that transfer: unmodelled joint backlash is one of the largest sim-to-real error sources, and dual encoders make it measurable.

Technical Analysis of Edition Choice in an Education RobotDesign decisions, comparison table and evaluation
Why 95 cm and 19.5 kg
The education payoff is direct: at 19.5 kg a teacher can carry the robot between classrooms alone, and 95 cm is a band that requires floor rather than desk work while raising no ceiling-height issue. Weight also sets the fall risk: when a 19.5 kg robot tips over, neither it nor its surroundings take serious damage, which is what allows unsupervised student use.
The Real Difference Between the Three Editions
The mechanical base is identical on all three: 22 degrees of freedom, the same joint ranges, the same stereo depth camera and 9-axis IMU. The difference gathers in two places. First compute: 48, 117 and 200 TOPS. Forty-eight TOPS is enough to run a pre-trained walking policy but is tight for vision-based inference on the robot. Second the battery: the Geek edition's 2 Ah pack gives 20 minutes while the others reach 70 minutes on 5 Ah. Since a lesson period runs about 40 minutes, the Geek edition means going to charge mid-lesson in classroom use, which may matter more than compute when choosing an edition.
What the Absence of a Waist Joint Means
The K1's 22 degrees of freedom break down as six per leg, four per arm and two head; there is no waist joint. No waist joint means the torso cannot rotate independently of the feet: the robot has to step in order to look at or reach an object beside it. For walking and football that is no loss and in fact simplifies the control problem. For manipulation work it is limiting, and four joints per arm is already narrow for fine grasping. The K1 is deliberately a locomotion and interaction platform, not a manipulation platform.

Engineering Assessment
The K1 is a body designed around the constraints of the education scenario, and it solves them well. At 19.5 kg it can be carried by one person, fall damage is low, the manufacturer-stated 60 N·m of peak torque (product page) is enough for dynamic movement like dance and football, and three compute tiers leave room to choose by budget. Booster GYM and the open SDK let a student train their own policy and run it on a real body. The limits are part of the design: there is no waist joint and only four joints per arm, so it is not suited to manipulation work. The Geek edition's 20 minutes of runtime is short for classroom use, and school projects should prefer the 5 Ah editions.

What are the Booster K1's specifications?
Approximately 95 cm tall and 19.5 kg. Twenty-two degrees of freedom in total: six per leg, four per arm and two head, with no waist joint. Joint ranges run hip pitch -171° to 126°, knee 0-127° and ankle pitch -50° to 20°. The joints carry dual encoders; the manufacturer states 60 N·m of peak torque. Compute is 48, 117 or 200 TOPS by edition. Perception covers a stereo depth camera, a 9-axis IMU and a circular three-microphone array. The battery is 2 or 5 Ah, giving 20 to 70 minutes at a 1.1 m/s walk. Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 and Gigabit Ethernet.
Which edition should a school choose?
For classroom use the Education or Professional edition is the sensible choice. The reason is battery rather than compute: the Geek edition's 2 Ah pack gives 20 minutes at a 1.1 m/s walk, meaning a charge stop mid-lesson. The Education and Professional editions reach 70 minutes on 5 Ah and extend the warranty from three months to one year. The compute difference matters if you will run vision-based models on the robot: 48 TOPS suffices for pre-trained policies, 200 TOPS for running your own model.
Is service, warranty and spare parts support available for the Booster K1 in Turkey?
Yes. As the official Booster Robotics distributor in Turkey, Robotlar.org provides authorized service, spare parts supply and support for firmware updates. School and university installations include on-site commissioning and teacher training, and a technical support protocol (SLA) is defined with the quote. The manufacturer warranty is 1 year on the Education and Professional editions and 3 months on the Geek.
How much does the Booster K1 cost?
Booster Robotics does not publish an open list price. The K1 price depends on the edition (Geek, Education, Professional), quantity and delivery terms. Robotlar.org issues per-project quotes to schools and organizations on a pro forma including taxes and freight; stating the edition and quantity in the quote form is enough.
How does the Booster K1 compare with the Unitree R1?
Both are entry-level humanoid development platforms. At 95 cm and approximately 19.5 kg the K1 is smaller and lighter; it offers 22 degrees of freedom and 48 to 200 TOPS of compute by edition, and with Booster GYM it leans toward locomotion and football education. The Unitree R1 is 123 cm, approximately 29 kg and has 26 degrees of freedom, with multimodal large-model integration and a quick-swap battery. A detailed table is on our comparison page.
