Overview

The T2 is Booster's flagship, launched in July 2026 as a bigger, more capable step up from the Booster T1. It stands about 140 cm and weighs about 42 kg, against the T1's 118 cm and 30 kg. It also gains 7-DoF arms, a 3-DoF waist and a 10 kg two-arm payload, which turns the soccer-style walker into a manipulation platform. Booster's September 2026 video shows it fetching a drink from a fridge, opening it, loading a washing machine and feeding a pet. The video does not say whether those runs were autonomous. It shares the SDK and the open booster_train / booster_deploy pipeline with the 95 cm Booster K1, so the same training and deployment workflow covers both. Booster's robot menu now lists only the K1 and T2, while the T1 page is still online. Reseller prices start around $30,000, close to a T1, and dexterous-hand versions climb past $50,000.
