🚀RP1 is officially here. 🌍Putting control of robotics back in developers’ hands. Introducing RP1 (ROBOTO 01) by RoboParty—a high-performance, fully open-source humanoid robotics platform for frontier robotics research and embodied AI model development. 🤖 Open across the full hardware and software stack: • Robot platform: mechanical CAD, bill of materials, and assembly documentation • Actuators: in-house ROMOMO joint designs and related technical resources • Control: electrical systems, firmware, low-level drivers, and motion control implementations • Development: simulation models, SDKs, data processing tools, and training tools • Engineering foundations: technical documentation and research materials Open the black box. Understand the system. Make it your own. A deviation in motion can originate in the model, control policy, actuator response, or mechanical structure. RP1 opens up the design and implementation of these layers so developers can trace problems, modify the system, and validate changes on real hardware. Open-source algorithms for advanced motion control RP1 has demonstrated continuous walking, recovery from disturbances, getting back up after a fall, and human motion tracking. UFO and MimicLite connect motion learning, control policies, and execution on real hardware. The open toolchain connects data collection, simulation training, hardware deployment, and experimental validation—supporting joint iteration across models, control, and hardware. From RPO to RP1, we’re turning one team’s engineering experience into a starting point for many more. Opening the future of embodied AI to everyone ready to explore it. 🔗RP1 on GitHub: github.com/Roboparty/RP1 #RoboParty #RP1 #OpenSourceRobotics #EmbodiedAI

(1/6) From @GoogleDeepmind’s AlphaGo to AlphaZero, we saw machines find moves that reached beyond what we’d imagined for them. No one taught them those strategies. They emerged from reinforcement learning: playing, failing, and trying again under a single binary task reward for success or failure. Inspired by them, we couldn’t help but wonder: what might a robot discover if we gave it that same freedom to learn? That question led us to AlphaNIST. Starting tabula rasa, with that same binary reward plus only a simple control cost, a single policy solves all 20 @NIST assembly tasks at a 98.2% success rate in simulation. More surprising still, AlphaNIST can complete 10 different tasks in a row, receiving that reward only once, after all 10 are done. Just as AlphaGo’s strategies surprised its creators, AlphaNIST discovered dexterous strategies we couldn’t have come up with ourselves. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2610.13354 Website: alpha-nist.github.io
