Booster Robotics
加速进化
Booster Robotics (加速进化) is a Chinese humanoid robotics company founded in 2023, targeting developers with stable humanoid robots and efficient development tools . Its founder and CEO Cheng Hao is a Tsinghua graduate who studied under Professor Zhao Mingguo of the Department of Automation, and by mid-2026 had been working on humanoid robots for 20 years . The company's technical signature is a human-leg configuration with hip joints capable of 360° rotation — a design it shares with Boston Dynamics' electric Atlas, allowing its BR002 demo robot to reproduce Atlas's reverse-fold stand-up motion . Source Code Capital led its tens-of-millions-RMB Pre-A round in May 2024 and has kept adding in later rounds; in November 2025 it closed a new round led by IDG Capital with Yizhuang State Investment, while existing investors including Source Code, Inno Angel, Shenzhen Capital Group and Bohua Capital topped up . Commercially, it was the first cohort among Source Code's MaHui portfolio to show real scale: its new Booster K1 sold out its first batch in 20 minutes under a "genuine delivery" model, and cumulative global shipments had passed 700 units across 200-plus customers, with overseas markets accounting for over 50% . Its self-positioning, per Source Code's write-up, is "the champion behind the champions" — lowering the barrier to embodied-AI innovation by improving robots and dev tools so more developers, universities and research teams can build on them .
