    What happened

    Visitors could push the robot and watch it recover.

    WatchingFor the promised Q4 open-source releases and any mass-production program.

    Bottom line

    RP1 is an unveiling with maker-reported figures and a roadmap still to be delivered.

    Impact

    On autonomy

    • Booth demo showed balance recovery after pushes and kicks
    • Maker describes a learning framework that discovers motor skills without preset trajectories
    • No task-completion or manipulation evidence is on record yet
    • All capability claims are maker-reported

    On readiness

    • Maker plans open-source releases of control, simulation and SDK tools in Q4 2026
    • A mass-production program is described as following later
    • No price or purchase terms were reported
    • No independent testing is on record

    Unveiling

    RoboParty showed RP1, also called ROBOTO 01, at IROS 2026 in Pittsburgh on September 28, 2026. The maker positions it for researchers, educators and embodied AI teams.

    Hardware as stated

    The maker lists peak joint torque up to 160 N-m from in-house Romomo actuator modules and a real-time motion-control system. It builds on the earlier open-source RPO project and a dexterous hand.

    Software

    The maker describes a PartyOS software stack that includes a reinforcement learning framework for discovering motor skills without predefined motion trajectories.

    Demonstration

    A booth demonstration let visitors push and kick the robot, which adjusted its posture and recovered.

    Roadmap

    Progressive releases of motion control, simulation, SDKs and tools are planned for Q4 2026, with a mass-production program to follow.
