Canonical robot record
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.
RoboZaps maintains this record as part of its canonical robotics database. Specs are source-verified where linked; the record compares public facts across manufacturers rather than representing a single robot maker.

Record changelog
- Height: 95 cm changed to 95 cm (~950 mm) · Jul 10, 2026
record-surgery-2 verification (corrected): Value string is right (official '~95cm') but numeric_value=95 against canonical_unit mm is the cm→mm normalization bug; must be 950.
- Battery Life: 0.83 hours changed to 0.5 hours (30 min walking at 0.4 m/s; Geek Edition, 2Ah battery) · Jul 10, 2026
record-surgery-2 verification (corrected): Official per-edition spec: Geek = 2Ah, 'Battery Life: 30min (walking 0.4m/s)'; Education/Professional = 5Ah, 80min. The 0.83 h (~50 min) figure matches no ed
