Booster T1
Booster T1 is a bipedal robot for research, currently a prototype.
Summary
Booster T1 is a bipedal robot designed for research applications. It can walk at 0.97 m/s, climb stairs, and recover from falls, equipped with a depth camera, IMU, microphone, and an NVIDIA Orin GPU with 200 TOPS AI compute.
The Booster T1 measures 118 cm in height, 47 cm in width, and 23 cm in depth, with a mass of 30 kg. It has 23–41 degrees of freedom in total, with 6 per leg, 4 per arm, 1 in the waist, and 2 in the head. The robot has a rated payload of 5 kg, with 5 kg payload per arm, and a maximum joint peak torque of 130 N.m per joint, with a joint range of -118–118 deg. It is equipped with a stereo depth camera, a 9-axis IMU, and 6 microphones, powered by an NVIDIA Orin GPU providing 200 TOPS AI compute. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, running on Linux with ROS2 middleware. Its battery has a capacity of 10.5 Ah and an energy of 378 Wh, providing a runtime of 120 min.

Specs
64 of 195 measures disclosure, not the robot: it counts the specs the maker and the directories we read had published when this page was last checked, so a robot with fewer published specs is not a worse robot. Makers also measure differently — height with or without the head, payload rated or peak — so two sources can both be right and still disagree, which is why every value carries a chip naming who stated it.

[statement 6abb5cdf2b3a0f9f08dbbc85] the quote is a two-column cell: 1 on the base robot and 6 only "on customized configurations". The 6 was filed against the base — review-flagged, then judged against the page context around the quote. Quote: "Active degrees of freedom 1 / 6 per hand on customized configurations" This was the last active statement of this key, so the key stops rendering (UX rule 1).

- Weight: 25 kg2026-09-29
[statement 6abb5cdf4007887fcf04e07d] the quote scopes the weight to a variant, is truncated mid-clause, or contradicts the maker's own figure by a wide margin — flagged by review.ts on the booster-t1 dry run and judged by hand before closing. Quote: "Weight: 25 kg"
- Joint range (per joint): 0–123°2026-09-29
[statement 6abb5cdf6549e1b1169da6a5] only one boundary of the stated range was filed; the stored rawText is a display string that cannot round-trip (gate.ts:604) — flagged by review.ts on the booster-t1 dry run and judged by hand before closing. Quote: "Knee joint: 0°~123°"
- Walking speed: 0.5 m/s2026-09-29
[statement 6abb5cdf9971d9cd0b3adc39] the quote states the robot's maximum or top speed, not its walking speed — that row's NOT text names it, and the speed exclusive family cannot arbitrate because the two quotes differ by a parenthetical — flagged by review.ts on the booster-t1 dry run and judged by hand before closing. Quote: "published maximum walking speed of 0.5 m/s"

- Reducer types: Direct drive2026-09-29
[statement 6abb5cdffef7bc310c848ef9] the quote says quasi-direct-drive, or describes what the maker PREVIOUSLY used — neither states this robot's reducer — flagged by review.ts on the booster-t1 dry run and judged by hand before closing. Quote: "The T1's low-reduction-ratio quasi-direct-drive joints provide exceptional flexibility and shock resistance"
- Tactile sensing: Yes2026-09-29
[statement 6abb5cdfaa92f7b1e0ca2fc4] the quote says the tactile hands are OPTIONAL, so it is not a capability of the robot as sold — flagged by review.ts on the booster-t1 dry run and judged by hand before closing. Quote: "Highly dexterous robotic hands (like the RH56DFX) can be equipped, featuring active tactile sensors to execute human-like manipulation and grasping tasks."

[statement 6abb5cdf490385c2d54b441b] the quote says the tactile sensing is OPTIONAL, so it is not a sensor of the robot as sold — flagged by review.ts on the booster-t1 dry run and judged by hand before closing.
