From clinching a sweeping 9-0 victory at the RoboCup German Open in March to gearing up for the RoboCup 2025 in Salvador, Brazil, in July, a Chinese humanoid robot soccer team has been capturing global attention.

At the heart of this excitement is the T1 robot, developed by Beijing-based humanoid robotics startup Booster Robotics, which is breaking new ground in performance and design.

Standing 1.2 meters tall and weighing 30 kilograms, the T1 robot's kicking and goal-keeping movements have been significantly upgraded. It is now capable of delivering powerful shots, executing free kicks and performing fluid, human-like motions.
