K1 Geek
Entry edition of the Booster K1 humanoid development robot
$5,999
The K1 Geek is the entry-level configuration of Booster Robotics' Booster K1, a compact bipedal humanoid robot aimed at developers, researchers, and embodied-AI experimentation. It ships with onboard AI compute and open developer interfaces, and shares the Booster K1 platform that competed in RoboCup. Note: this robot is made by Booster Robotics, not Robosen; Robosen's similarly named product is the unrelated 'Interstellar Scout K1' toy.
Released: 2025

Overview
The K1 Geek is the entry-tier edition of the Booster K1, a compact bipedal humanoid robot developed by Booster Robotics for developers, university labs, and embodied-AI research. It is positioned as an accessible on-ramp to the Booster K1 platform, sharing the same body and joint architecture as the higher Education and Professional editions while offering a lower compute tier suited to basic motion and control exploration.
The platform is developer-oriented, with open programming interfaces and software support intended for robotics research and embodied-agent applications. Booster Robotics has emphasized portability, durability, and a development-first ecosystem around the robot.
Important provenance note: despite the shared 'K1' label, this robot is built by Booster Robotics (booster.tech), not by Robosen. Robosen's comparable product is the unrelated 'Interstellar Scout K1', a small programmable toy robot, so the two should not be conflated.
Key Features
