Booster Robotics Unveils T2 Humanoid Platform
Booster Robotics has introduced the T2 humanoid platform, its newest developer-focused robot designed for embodied AI research, robotics education, and real-world application development. The company unveiled the platform ahead of its global public debut at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2026, positioning the T2 as the successor to its widely adopted T1 humanoid robot.
The launch builds on Booster Robotics’ strategy of providing open, developer-friendly humanoid platforms rather than closed commercial robots. Consequently, the T2 aims to accelerate robotics innovation by giving researchers, universities, and AI developers greater flexibility for software and hardware customization. The platform also reflects the rapid growth of embodied AI, where robots learn to interact with the physical world through advanced perception and decision-making.
Built for Embodied AI Development
Booster Robotics designed the T2 to support advanced locomotion, manipulation, and autonomous behavior while maintaining compatibility with the company’s development ecosystem. Therefore, developers can build applications using comprehensive APIs, open-source tools, and robotics frameworks that simplify AI training and deployment.
Although the company has not disclosed every hardware specification, the T2 expands upon the capabilities demonstrated by the T1 platform, which features lightweight construction, high mobility, and modular components for research environments. In addition, Booster continues emphasizing secondary development, allowing researchers to customize perception systems, control algorithms, and AI models for diverse use cases.
Expanding a Proven Robotics Ecosystem
The T2 arrives as Booster Robotics gains growing recognition in the global robotics community. Earlier this month, teams using Booster humanoid robots swept every championship category at RoboCup 2026, highlighting the company’s progress in humanoid mobility and autonomous control. Consequently, the T2 enters the market with strong validation from one of the world’s leading robotics competitions.
Booster Robotics continues focusing on education, research, and embodied AI rather than consumer robotics. Moreover, the company supports developers through Booster Studio, a simulation and development environment that enables teams to train, test, and deploy AI models before transferring them to physical robots. This integrated ecosystem reduces development time while improving deployment reliability.
Competition Intensifies in Humanoid Robotics
The launch comes as global investment in humanoid robotics accelerates. Companies across China, the United States, and Europe are introducing increasingly capable robots for manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and scientific research. Therefore, developer platforms have become essential for advancing embodied AI applications.
By introducing the T2, Booster Robotics strengthens its position in the research robotics market while expanding its portfolio beyond the T1 and K1 platforms. As embodied AI continues evolving, the company expects open development platforms to play a central role in enabling next-generation autonomous robots for industrial and commercial environments.
