On July 29, 2026, Booster Robotics announced the update of its bipedal humanoid robot, Booster K1, to software version v1.7.1 via YouTube. This update introduces three major new features: enhancements to the Hi Chat conversational experience, the launch of the HICHAT HUB management console, and hand-eye calibration support in the Booster app.
The upgrade to the AI conversation feature, Hi Chat, is one of the most significant improvements, resulting in faster response times and more natural conversations. Demonstrations showed the K1 responding to voice commands for volume adjustment and internet mode switching, as well as performing poetry readings. Hi Chat's capabilities extend beyond text and voice interactions to include physical expressions such as dance, showcasing a variety of movements including a New Year dance and boxing styles.
The newly launched HICHAT HUB is a web-based management console that allows users to manage character settings for connected Booster K1 robots. Additionally, the Booster app now includes a hand-eye calibration feature, enabling precise object manipulation. The v1.7.1 update represents a significant step in enhancing the overall platform of Booster K1, integrating conversation, management, and physical actions.
