The UK's Most Complete Humanoid Robot Platform for Embodied AI Education
Booster Robotics is uniquely positioned as the only humanoid robotics manufacturer dedicated to delivering a complete Embodied AI education ecosystem.
Unlike competitors that simply sell robot hardware or focus solely on motion control, Booster combines intelligent humanoid robots, curriculum, software, simulation, competitions and teacher resources into one integrated platform.
Rather than building the most expensive or technically complex robot, Booster has designed the robot that is easiest for schools, colleges and universities to deploy, teach and scale.
Designed Specifically for Education
Safe, Practical & Classroom Ready
The Booster K1 has been engineered for educational environments.
- 95cm tall – ideal for classrooms and laboratories
- 19.5kg lightweight design for improved safety
- 22 Degrees of Freedom (DoF) enabling natural human movement
- Stable omnidirectional walking
- Proven durability through extensive testing and international robotics competitions
Its compact size makes it significantly easier to transport, supervise and operate than larger humanoid robots.
Built for AI Learning
Powerful On-board Computing
With up to 200 TOPS of AI computing power, students can develop real-world AI applications directly on the robot, including:
- Computer Vision
- Object Detection
- Navigation
- Motion Planning
- Decision Making
- Autonomous Behaviour
Everything runs as a complete perception → decision → action loop, providing genuine hands-on experience with Embodied AI.
A Development Platform for Every Skill Level
Booster grows with students from beginner to advanced research.
Supported development environments include:
- Scratch (block programming)
- Python
- ROS 2
- AI model deployment
- Computer Vision
- Machine Learning
Whether introducing robotics in primary education or conducting university AI research, the same platform supports every stage of learning.
Simulation Before Reality
Every robot includes Booster Studio, powered by the MuJoCo physics engine.
Students can:
- Develop algorithms
- Test safely in simulation
- Debug quickly
- Deploy directly onto the physical robot
This Sim-to-Real workflow reduces hardware wear, lowers teaching costs and accelerates learning.
Ready-to-Use AI Applications
Students can begin immediately using pre-built applications including:
- Robot Football
- Dancing
- Voice Interaction
- Human Dialogue
- Demonstrations
- Autonomous Behaviours
They can then develop and publish their own applications via the Booster Agent Store, encouraging creativity and innovation.
Complete Teaching Resources
Booster delivers far more than hardware.
The ecosystem includes:
- Structured curriculum (Levels L1–L4)
- Lesson plans
- Laboratory exercises
- Teacher training
- Programming examples
- Assessment materials
- Project-Based Learning (PBL)
Courses cover:
- Robot Structure
- Kinematics
- AI Programming
- Computer Vision
- Perception
- Decision Making
- Motion Control
- Embodied AI
Competition Ready
Booster is closely aligned with leading international robotics competitions including RoboCup.
Students can progress from classroom learning into competitive robotics using exactly the same platform.
Booster robots have already achieved major international success, helping teams secure championships in RoboCup and serving as the official platform for dozens of teams at the World Humanoid Robot Games.
Proven Worldwide
Booster robots are already deployed in over 20 countries, with more than 1,000 units shipped worldwide.
The platform is trusted by leading universities, research institutions and technology companies, including organisations such as Stanford, UC Berkeley and NVIDIA.
