Booster T2 vs Unitree R1
One row per spec, aligned across 2 robots. A hatched cell means neither the maker nor the directories we read publish that value.
Booster T2 or Unitree R1? What the published figures say
assembled from the figures below — no score, no ranking, no winner
Of the 44 measurements both robots publish, the printed values differ on 27 and are identical on 16.
12 of them are one number against another — Booster T2 prints the higher figure on 11, Unitree R1 on 1 — and the other 15 differ in kind rather than in magnitude: a list, a yes/no, a range, or the same quantity printed in a different unit.
On height, Booster T2 is 14% higher at against Unitree R1's .
On weight, Booster T2 is 45% higher at against Unitree R1's .
On degrees of freedom, Booster T2 publishes and Unitree R1 .
Booster T2 and Unitree R1 have figures their sources state as a bound rather than an exact value, so those gaps are not like-for-like.
On rated payload both publish , but Booster T2's source states it as a maximum rather than a typical figure — the same number, stated differently.
Booster T2 publishes integrations — — and Unitree R1 does not.
Unitree R1 publishes stage — — and Booster T2 does not.
The most important differences
ranked by how much of the catalogue publishes the measurement
The 5 most widely published of the 27 measurements where these two differ — ranked that way because a figure most of the catalogue publishes is one that means the same thing on both sides. Every value carries the source that states it.

What each one is
from each robot's own published columns
Booster T2
Booster T2 is a bipedal humanoid from Booster Robotics, designed in China. Its page publishes 52 of 195 sourced specifications, 27 of them from the maker.
Unitree R1
Unitree R1 is a mass production bipedal humanoid from Unitree Robotics, designed in China. Its page publishes 78 of 195 sourced specifications, 39 of them from the maker.
No value in this table has been independently measured or filed with a regulator — every number is a claim by a maker or by a third-party directory, and the chip on each one says which.
