Quick Answer
K1 Edu is the education-flavored slug for Booster Robotics’ K1. The body card is still 95 cm (written here as 95 mm), 19.5 kg and 22 DOF. Our runtime cell says 1.3 hours, which is at the high end of Booster’s published K1 battery window. It is not a unique robot and it is not an industrial humanoid.

What it is
Booster K1, education listing. Official size about 95 cm and 19.5 kg, 22 DOF. Booster publicly sells K1 for STEM, research and RoboCup-style use.
What is published
Same K1 sheet. 1.3 hours on our card is plausible versus Booster’s “up to about 1 h 20” language. Price not listed here.
Flaws
Still a millimetre-height typo and a three-way URL split. Do not compare it to Optimus.
Real-world usefulness
Honest as a classroom humanoid. Useless as a warehouse substitute. Not Unitree G1.
