RoboParty, a robotics company, unveiled RP1 (ROBOTO 01) at IROS 2026, describing the bipedal humanoid as a full-stack open-source platform for researchers, educators, robotics developers, and embodied AI teams.

At its booth, RoboParty let visitors push and kick the robot to demonstrate balance recovery under external disturbances.

The company said RP1 runs on PartyOS and uses in-house Romomo actuator modules, with peak joint torque of up to 160 N·m.

The launch follows RoboParty’s earlier RPO (ROBOTO ORIGIN) project, which the company said launched in January 2026.

GitHub materials indicate RPO hardware was shared, but available sources do not establish licensing terms.

RoboParty said it plans to gradually open its motion-control systems, simulation environments, software development kits, training tools, and the PartyOS foundation.

The company expects to share more roadmap details in October 2026, followed by broader software and hardware releases later in the fourth quarter.
