🇨🇳 Booster Robotics

About Booster Robotics

Booster Robotics is a Chinese humanoid robotics company founded by researchers from Tsinghua University, one of China's most prominent engineering institutions. The company's T1 humanoid has attracted attention in the robotics community for exceptional stability and recovery capabilities, performing well in standardised tests of balance recovery and disturbance rejection that test the fundamental robustness of the locomotion system.

The Tsinghua origin brings with it access to deep robotics research expertise, strong alumni networks within Chinese technology investment, and credibility with research institutions considering the T1 as a development platform. The founders' academic backgrounds have influenced the company's approach to locomotion, which draws on control theory and model-based methods alongside the learning-based approaches that dominate much of the current humanoid robotics landscape.

Booster Robotics is in the development and early commercialisation phase, working with industrial and research partners to validate the T1 in application-specific settings. The company's balance and recovery credentials make it particularly interesting for applications in dynamic environments where robot falls would be costly or dangerous.

Key Products

• T1: full-size bipedal humanoid with exceptional balance and disturbance recovery; suited to dynamic industrial and research environments

UK Market Presence

Booster Robotics does not currently have UK or European commercial operations. UK research institutions interested in the T1 for locomotion and control research can investigate direct import options. Wider UK commercial availability is likely dependent on the company's international expansion timeline, which was not publicly confirmed as of 2025.

Buying Used Booster Robotics Equipment

No secondhand market for Booster Robotics platforms exists as of 2025. Future used T1 units would warrant careful inspection of the balance and recovery sensor systems, including IMUs and joint torque sensors, as these are central to the platform's key selling point. Confirm firmware support and API compatibility before committing to any used unit purchase.
