Which K1, by job
FCC status: what the public record shows
Booster Robotics holds FCC grantee code 2BVIP. On October 5, 2026 it had exactly one FCC ID under it: 2BVIP-BRRC1DMBK, a remote control, dated April 13, 2026. We find no equipment authorization for the K1 robot itself.
What that does and does not mean. It is not proof of anything unlawful: a device whose only radio is a pre-certified module can ship without a grant of its own. But the reassurance a buyer might expect, this exact robot authorized under its maker's name, is not on the record. Ask the dealer for radio-compliance papers in writing before you order. Our FCC robot rule explainer covers the 2026 rules.
Where to buy, inside or outside North America
The order buttons go to a dealer that ships worldwide. It confirms availability and shipping for your country at checkout. For a purchase order, a classroom set or a landed-cost estimate for your country, send us the version, the quantity and your deadline.
Spending US federal money, or working under a Department of War contract? Separate US rules can matter for Chinese-made robots: the FCC's 2026 robot rule and the Pentagon's 1260H list. Our dated explainers: the FCC robot rule and which humanoids you can legally buy in the US.
Comparing the K1 with the other cheap humanoids
Other walking humanoids in a dealer cart on October 5, 2026. The K1 GEEK is the cheapest one we found that runs your code; the Unitree R1 costs more to program but holds an FCC authorization.

The Unitree R1 holds an FCC equipment authorization on the public record (FCC ID 2A5PE-YUSHU010, checked October 5, 2026). The R1 Air and the Bumi come from the same dealer as the K1; the R1 EDU and G1 come from a US dealer that ships within North America. Every R1 build: the R1 guide.
