K1 Geek Humanoid
The Booster K1 Geek Humanoid is a compact, agile bipedal robot standing 95 cm tall, optimized for education, research, and competitive robotics like RoboCup KidSize. Featuring 22 degrees of freedom with full force control across 6 DOF legs, 4 DOF arms per side, and 2 DOF head, it delivers human-like walking at up to 1.4 km/h, dynamic balancing via 9-axis IMU, and precise manipulation. Equipped with NVIDIA Jetson processors (48-200 TOPS), stereo depth cameras for visual SLAM, 6-mic array for voice interaction, and ROS2-compatible software with Python/C++ SDKs, it supports no-code AI via Booster Agents, simulation in Isaac Sim and Booster GYM 2.0, and OTA updates. Its lightweight 19.5 kg aluminum alloy frame enables portability, while dual-encoder joints (60 Nm torque) allow hybrid torque/position control for tasks from locomotion to gesture-based interaction, making it ideal for developers exploring embodied AI without complex assembly.
