MGIT, a company specializing in industrial drones and 3D printing solutions, has signed an exclusive distribution deal in South Korea with Chinese humanoid robot company Booster Robotics. The agreement is intended to expand MGIT's humanoid robot business.
MGIT CEO Jung Woo-cheol visited Booster Robotics' headquarters in Beijing, China, last September and signed the exclusive distribution agreement in person. MGIT plans to supply humanoid robots to domestic universities, research institutes, educational institutions, and corporate R&D organizations, while also promoting support for the use of humanoid robots at those organizations.
Booster Robotics was founded in June 2023. Its founder and CEO, Cheng Hao, earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Tsinghua University in China and took part in RoboCup, an international robotics competition, several times during his student years. The company's core staff include alumni of Tsinghua University's robotics control laboratory and members of the Hephaestus RoboCup team.
Booster Robotics provides robot hardware, an operating system, and development tools. Based on this, the company is expanding its research- and education-focused business areas.
Along with this expansion, its results in international robotics competitions have continued. Booster Robotics said in an official announcement that it disclosed the results of teams using Booster robots at RoboCup in Brazil in 2025, adding that those teams won the humanoid league AdultSize division and finished second in the humanoid league KidSize division.
In the same year, teams using T1 competed at the World Humanoid Robot Games. Those teams won 2 gold medals, 2 silver medals, and 2 bronze medals in the AI robot soccer 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 events.
At RoboCup 2026, teams using Booster robots won all three bipedal humanoid categories. At the event, those teams earned 3 gold medals, 2 silver medals, and 3 bronze medals, and a total of 38 teams competed on the Booster robot platform, underscoring the scale of platform use.
Booster Robotics is expanding its product and software development environment. The company released the integrated development environment "Booster Studio" in June 2026, and "Booster Studio" supports simulation, debugging, and deployment to real robots. It then unveiled the humanoid robot platform "T2" in July 2026 and also supplied hardware alongside the "T2" unveiling. In addition, the company has begun building a development environment that allows developers to implement robot applications directly.
In line with this, MGIT plans to supply Booster Robotics products according to the specific needs of domestic customers. For educational institutions, it plans to provide hands-on equipment training platforms for artificial intelligence (AI) and robot control technologies, while for university and corporate R&D organizations, it is considering proposing research platforms for walking, motion control, and application software development.
MGIT says it will leverage its existing business experience. The company has experience in supplying industrial drones, training in drone operations, on-site technical support, and 3D printing solutions, and it plans to establish a step-by-step support system for humanoid robots based on that background. The scope of that support system includes product introduction consultation, demonstrations, initial operation training, and manufacturer-linked technical support, and MGIT plans to expand the use of humanoid robots in exhibitions and events.
MGIT CEO Jung Woo-cheol said that in the humanoid robot business, supporting customers in actual use is as important as supply. He also said the company will strengthen support for product selection and operation according to the introduction purposes of educational institutions, research institutes, and companies.
Based in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, MGIT has been engaged in industrial drones, drone delivery, development and manufacturing, education, maintenance, and 3D printing solutions. With the signing of the exclusive distribution deal with Booster Robotics as a springboard, MGIT plans to expand its business into the humanoid robot sector and broaden its contact points with domestic education, research, and corporate markets.
