Booster Robotics Launches Booster T2 Humanoid Platform, Advancing Embodied AI Development with NVIDIA Thor
Anonymous
Booster Robotics has launched the Booster T2, a new humanoid robot built for embodied AI development. The platform runs on NVIDIA's Thor chip, delivering up to 2,070 TFLOPS of computing power — making it the most powerful onboard system in any bipedal humanoid robot currently available, according to Paris Star.
The T2 pairs that raw computing muscle with a bio-inspired body design and advanced motion algorithms. The goal is to help robots understand their surroundings, make real-time decisions, and operate continuously without stopping, Owen Sound Sun Times reported.
NVIDIA's Thor Chip Powers Record Onboard Performance
At the heart of the T2 is NVIDIA's Thor system-on-chip. It delivers up to 2,070 TFLOPS — that is trillions of floating-point operations per second. No other bipedal humanoid robot on the market today matches that figure, according to Sault Star. That processing power lets the robot handle complex AI tasks directly onboard, without relying on a remote server.
Running heavy AI workloads locally matters in real-world settings. A robot that depends on cloud computing can freeze or fail if its connection drops. With the Thor chip onboard, the T2 can keep working even in environments where connectivity is poor, Northern News noted.
Bio-Inspired Design Lets the Robot Move Like a Human
Booster Robotics built the T2's body around human anatomy. The frame uses bio-inspired proportions and joint mechanics. Combined with advanced motion algorithms, the robot can walk, adjust its balance, and respond to its environment in real time, The Observer reported.
The motion system is designed for continuous operation. Most humanoid robots struggle with long work sessions — they overheat, lose balance, or require frequent resets. Booster says the T2 is built to work without those interruptions, making it more practical for real deployment, according to Shoreline Beacon.
Embodied AI Push Aims to Accelerate Real-World Robotics
Embodied AI refers to robots that do not just process data — they act on it in the physical world. The T2 is designed as a development platform, meaning researchers and engineers can use it to train and test AI models that control physical movement and decision-making, Pembroke Observer reported.
Booster Robotics says the T2 launch marks a key step in its broader mission. The company wants to help robots move into real-world environments faster and more efficiently. By giving developers a powerful, capable platform, Booster hopes to speed up progress across the entire field of embodied intelligence, according to Hanna Herald.
T2 Enters a Crowded but Fast-Moving Humanoid Market
The humanoid robot space is heating up fast. Companies like Tesla, Boston Dynamics, and Agility Robotics are all pushing their own platforms. Booster T2's claim to the most powerful onboard computing among bipedal robots gives it a specific edge in AI-heavy workloads, Cochrane Times Post noted.
For Booster Robotics, the T2 is not just a product — it is a statement about where the company is headed. By combining top-tier hardware with a human-like body, the company is betting that the future of AI will be physical, not just digital, according to Mitchell Advocate.
