Booster T2 Humanoid Robot

Applications: Research, Education, and Embodied AI

Booster T2 is primarily designed for researchers, educators, and developers exploring humanoid robotics and embodied artificial intelligence.

Its articulated body makes it suitable for investigating bipedal locomotion, balance control, motion planning, and whole-body coordination. Researchers can develop algorithms that help the robot move through environments, respond to disturbances, and interact with surrounding objects.

For manipulation research, optional grippers and dexterous hands enable experimentation with grasping, object handling, and coordinated arm movements. The robot's cameras also support research into visual perception, object recognition, and environment understanding.

In educational settings, Booster T2 provides a physical platform for students to learn about robotic control, sensors, programming, and AI. Its built-in interaction and demonstration capabilities can also be used to showcase humanoid robotics.

What Makes Booster T2 Special?

What makes Booster T2 particularly interesting is its combination of advanced mobility, manipulation capabilities, and onboard computing in a single humanoid development platform.

Standing approximately 1.4 metres tall, it features 31 degrees of freedom, including seven in each arm and three at the waist. This allows researchers to explore coordinated full-body movements rather than focusing only on walking or basic arm control.

The Professional edition adds NVIDIA Jetson Thor T5000 computing, supporting more demanding AI and perception workloads. Meanwhile, optional grippers, dexterous hands, wrist cameras, and LiDAR allow the hardware configuration to be adapted to different research needs.

Another important feature is its development ecosystem. Through Booster Studio and supported development tools, researchers can work with simulation, algorithms, and physical robot deployment.

Together, these capabilities make T2 a flexible platform for exploring how humanoid robots can perceive, move, and manipulate their environment.

Booster T2 vs Booster K1: What's the Difference?

Booster Robotics offers both the T2 and K1, but they target different levels of humanoid robotics development.

The Booster K1 is a smaller, lighter introductory platform, particularly suited to education, robotics competitions, and learning about embodied AI. At approximately 95 cm tall and 19.5 kg, it is more compact and easier to transport.

The Booster T2 is the company's larger flagship development platform. It offers more body articulation, greater joint torque, a higher specified walking speed, and optional grippers or dexterous hands for more advanced manipulation research.
