T1 Dexterous Humanoid

T1 Dexterous Humanoid

The T1 Dexterous Humanoid by Booster Robotics is a compact, high-performance bipedal robot optimized for research, AI development, and dynamic locomotion tasks. Standing at 118 cm tall and weighing 30 kg, it features 41 degrees of freedom in its dexterous hands configuration, enabling precise manipulation, expressive gestures, and human-like movements such as omnidirectional walking, stair navigation, fall recovery, and sports-like actions including kung fu. Powered by an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin with 200 TOPS AI compute and dual Intel i7 processors, it supports onboard perception via depth cameras, IMU, and microphone arrays for object recognition, speech interaction, and real-time control. ROS2-compatible with open SDKs, it excels in embodied AI, whole-body coordination, and VR teleoperation, offering up to 2 hours of walking autonomy on a swappable 10.5 Ah battery. Ideal for labs, competitions like RoboCup, and prototyping in manipulation-heavy applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about this robot

Q1. What is T1 Dexterous Humanoid, and what problem is it designed to solve?

T1 is a 1.18-meter, 30-kilogram open-source humanoid robot developed by Booster Robotics for research and development applications. It addresses the need for an accessible, lightweight platform enabling researchers and developers to conduct humanoid robotics research without requiring large-scale infrastructure or multiple operators.

Q2. What are the main capabilities and key features of T1 Dexterous Humanoid?

T1 features 23 degrees of freedom across its head, torso, arms, and legs, enabling complex movements including bipedal locomotion, push-ups, and dynamic transitions from prone to standing positions. It includes an open-source architecture, comprehensive API, dual encoder force actuators, and optional dexterous hand modules extending functionality to 41 degrees of freedom.

Q3. Who is T1 Dexterous Humanoid built for, and which industries can benefit from it?

T1 targets academic researchers, robotics developers, and competition participants in humanoid robotics. Applicable sectors include educational institutions, research laboratories, robotics competitions, and organizations exploring bipedal locomotion and AI integration in humanoid platforms.

Q4. Is T1 Dexterous Humanoid a commercial product or still a research prototype?

T1 is a commercial product positioned as a development platform for researchers and developers. According to the manufacturer, it launched in 2024 as a production-ready system rather than a prototype, with availability through authorized distributors.

Q5. Is T1 Dexterous Humanoid currently available for purchase, and when is it expected to ship?

T1 is currently available for purchase through authorized distributors and retailers. Shipping timelines depend on distributor fulfillment following orders, with pricing reported in the $20,000–$30,000 range.

Q6. How does T1 Dexterous Humanoid actually work in real-world environments?

T1 operates via an advanced motion control system enabling fluid, realistic movements for research tasks. It connects to mobile applications via Bluetooth for real-time control and feedback, includes a robust SDK for custom application development, and operates on a 48V battery system supporting approximately 1–2 hours of operation depending on usage intensity.

Q7. When was T1 Dexterous Humanoid announced or officially launched?

Booster Robotics announced and launched T1 in 2024. The robot has since participated in robotics competitions, with the manufacturer reporting it as the RoboCup 2025 champion platform.

Q8. How is T1 Dexterous Humanoid different from other robots in the same category?

T1 differentiates through its lightweight, single-person transportability compared to larger humanoids requiring multiple operators, open-source architecture enabling community development, and price positioning between research prototypes and premium commercial systems like Unitree Robotics' H1.

Q9. Does T1 Dexterous Humanoid require additional development or customization after purchase?

T1 ships as a functional platform but includes a comprehensive SDK and extensible architecture supporting secondary development. Users can create custom applications, integrate dexterous hand modules, and modify behavior through its open-source framework without mandatory customization.

Q10. What is the future roadmap or planned upgrades for T1 Dexterous Humanoid?

Booster Robotics has not publicly disclosed detailed roadmap information as of April 2026. The company's stated mission emphasizes expanding developer adoption and uniting global contributors to the humanoid robotics ecosystem through the T1 platform.
