Booster Robotics
T1 / K1
Can the Booster Robotics T1 / K1 be imported and sold in the United States?
Status not established
We loaded a grant record for this maker ourselves and it does not cover the robot. The record we read is FCC ID 2BVIP-BRRC1DMBK (remote only). The remote controller has a verified pre-cutoff grant. No robot-level grant was found. Do not treat the robots as grandfathered without one. We settle it against the official FCC search before any quote.

We loaded a grant record ourselves from the official FCC equipment authorization database, and it does not cover the platform itself. What it does cover is named in the board note below. Treat the platform as unresolved until a grant at platform level is on file.
The remote controller has a verified pre-cutoff grant. No robot-level grant was found. Do not treat the robots as grandfathered without one.
Who can buy it, and with what money
Two different gates. Whether a platform may be sold at all is set by FCC authorization and binds everyone. Whether a particular buyer may spend a particular kind of money on it is set by procurement law and binds public money only. The same machine can pass one and fail the other.

We cannot place this platform on the record we hold, so a public buyer should treat its status as unresolved rather than assume either answer. Where the maker produces outside the United States, federal procurement rules and most public grant terms bar public money. Several makers including Unitree are reported to sit on the Department of War 1260H list of Chinese military companies. We have not loaded that list ourselves and we cite no record for it here, so treat it as something to check with your counsel rather than as a finding of ours. Institutions that take federal money commonly apply it as an internal bar whether or not a statute reaches them directly. Get the maker's written position on origin and authorization, and your own grant officer's view, before public money moves. Private and commercial buyers are unaffected.

On 28 July 2026 the FCC added a class of foreign-produced advanced robotic devices to its Covered List. The definition is conjunctive and reaches a device only when all five elements are true at once: foreign produced, over 4.4 lb including any dock or charging base, carrying environmental sensors, networked at 200 kbps or more, and running autonomous navigation or remote-control software. A covered device cannot receive a new equipment authorization, and without one it cannot lawfully be imported or marketed in the United States. Devices authorized before that date keep their authorization, and newly built units of those models may still be imported and sold. That single date is what separates the platforms on this site that can ship from the ones that cannot.
The rule in full→Other humanoid platforms on the board
All 83 platforms →Booster Robotics and T1 / K1 belong to their maker. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an authorized dealer for them unless a separate agreement says so in writing. Nothing on this page is legal advice. Status reflects public records on the compiled date and can change, including by revocation of a grant that was valid the week before. Confirm the record yourself before you rely on it.
