RoboParty Launches RP1: The Future of Open-Source Humanoid Robotics is Here
RoboParty Unveils the RP1 Humanoid Robot at IROS 2026
On September 28, 2026, RoboParty showcased its revolutionary humanoid robot, RP1 (ROBOTO 01), at IROS 2026 in Pittsburgh. This unveiling is a significant step in the field of robotics, introducing a fully open-source humanoid platform designed to empower researchers, educators, and robotics developers worldwide.
A New Era for Humanoid Robotics
RoboParty's journey began in January 2026 with the open-sourcing of RPO (ROBOTO ORIGIN), which quickly captured the attention of developers, garnering over 2,500 stars on GitHub. The success of RPO has inspired numerous community builds, laying a solid foundation for the launch of RP1, touted as the first high-performance full-stack open-source bipedal humanoid robot.
Unlike traditional humanoid robots that often come as closed systems, RP1 aims to redefine this norm. By being fully open-source, RoboParty is inviting a community of developers to dive deeper into the world of humanoid robotics. The approach provides transparency in hardware, software, and motion-control systems, allowing for seamless modifications and enhancements.
