Humanoid robot footballer goes viral after striking powerful shot that leaves dent in wall
A humanoid robot footballer has captured attention online after a video showed it unleashing a powerful shot that reportedly left a large dent in a wall behind the goal.
The robot, known as Booster T1, was filmed during a dynamic balance training session at its company’s laboratory when it struck the ball with remarkable force.
Images from the training session show the wall behind the goal appearing damaged after the robot’s powerful kick, highlighting the machine’s strength and advanced athletic capabilities.
Booster T1 stands approximately 1.2 metres tall and weighs around 30 kilograms. The humanoid robot is equipped with force-control sensors throughout its body, enabling it to maintain balance and perform complex movements with precision.
Designed for football-related activities, the robot can dribble, pass, shoot, and even get back on its feet without assistance after falling over.
The video was released as preparations continue for RoboCup 2026, an international robotics competition scheduled to take place in South Korea. The event will see teams of advanced robots competing in football matches and demonstrating the latest breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and robotic engineering.
