How Much Does the Booster K1 Cost?
K1 investment is scoped per project. The manufacturer shows a starting price on its own product page, but Robotlar.org prices per project: the investment is set by corporate quotation according to edition (Geek, Education or Professional), unit count and delivery terms. The price is given by Robotlar.org, the Official Distributor of Booster Robotics in Turkey, as a proforma that includes taxes and freight. If you have a school, university or corporate requirement, reach us through the contact form; for the price structure alongside the T2, see Booster robot prices.
How Do You Buy the Booster K1 in Turkey?
Robotlar.org is the Official Distributor of Booster Robotics in Turkey: a K1 order is invoiced in Turkey and settled with a proforma that includes taxes and freight, and on-site commissioning, teacher and developer training, warranty and authorized service are handled by the same team. Delivery time depends on edition and configuration and is stated in the quote. Technical specification and proforma support is provided for school and university purchases. See the K1 product page for the full technical breakdown and the Booster distributor in Turkey guide for the ordering steps.

Which Edition for a School
For classroom use the Education or Professional edition is the sensible choice, and the reason is battery rather than compute. The Geek edition's 2 Ah pack gives 20 minutes at a 1.1 m/s walk; since a lesson period usually runs 40 minutes, the robot would need 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, while 200 TOPS is needed to run your own model on the robot. The body, joints, torque and sensors are identical across the three editions. For classroom and lab scenarios in detail, see the Booster K1 education robot guide.
Who It Is For: Education and Competition
The K1's dimensions come from the RoboCup KidSize rule set, and the education payoff is direct: at 19.5 kg a teacher can carry the robot between classrooms without help. Weight also sets the fall risk; in this class, when the robot tips over neither it nor its surroundings take serious damage, which is what allows student use. On the software side there is the Booster GYM 2.0 motion library, the open-source Booster SDK and developer documentation, so a student can train their own policy and run it on a real body. With no waist joint and four joints per arm it is not suited to manipulation work; the K1 is deliberately a locomotion and interaction platform.
Comparison with the Unitree G1
At 132 cm and 35 kg the Unitree G1 is clearly larger and heavier than the K1, which matters if portability between classrooms is your priority. In return, the G1 EDU edition reaches up to 43 degrees of freedom and is widely used in university research. Closer to the K1 in size is the Unitree R1 (123 cm, about 29 kg, 26 degrees of freedom). Both brands are in the Robotlar.org portfolio, and the choice comes down to user age, carrying conditions and budget. See the Booster K1 vs Unitree R1 comparison for detail.
