K1
$11,799
at Maverick Drone, delivered
Booster Robotics
T1
No maker price
The maker publishes no price, so there is no base for a delivered estimate. Seller prices, where listed, are on the datasheet.
Booster Robotics
T2
$37,999
at Maverick Drone, delivered
Delivered to United States: the import estimate (machine plus freight, Sales tax (0%), robot duty, and broker), or a seller in your own market where one lists the machine for less. Accessories excluded. Check configuration and request a seller quote on each robot's datasheet.
Some costs are unknown, so no overall lowest-cost machine can be identified.

| Out of the box | Among the most functional at its price: walks day one, remote and app control, demo motions, voice/LLM interaction, and a proven autonomous soccer stack (RoboCup 2025 KidSize champion lineage). Widely used for demos with zero code. | Walks, balances, gets up after falls, and runs soccer demos (RoboCup 2025 champion platform); app and Bluetooth teleop work day one. Real tasks require development; it is explicitly made for developers. | Dynamic bipedal locomotion, whole-body balance, and bimanual manipulation while walking, shown in the July 2026 reveal. Like the T1 it is a developer platform: real tasks require development, and the Thor T5000 compute (up to 2,070 TFLOPS on the Pro) is sized to run large models on-robot. |
| Development access | Open across ALL tiers (unlike Unitree R1): Python/C++ APIs, ROS 2, Booster Studio IDE, open-source RoboCup framework, and sim support (Isaac, MuJoCo, Webots, Gazebo). Tiers differ by compute, not by SDK lock. | Full open-source SDK, ROS2 Humble, Booster Studio tooling, and sim support (Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Webots). No EDU/retail SDK lock. | Open-source SDK, ROS2, Booster Studio tooling, and sim support carried over from the T1 line; no EDU/retail SDK lock. |
| Best for | Schools, RoboCup teams, and labs that want an affordable, fully open, competition-proven development platform. | University teams and developers who want an open, competition-proven mid-size platform with EU-friendly logistics. | Developers and labs who want Booster's open, competition-proven platform with the highest on-robot compute in its class. |
