the humanoid just went full-stack open source. roboparty unveiled rp1 at iros on oct 4, an open-source robot built on its rpo project that already had 2,500 github stars.
the factory floor now accepts pull requests.
Context
Verified event date: RoboParty's PRNewswire release (Oct 3, 2026, Pittsburgh) says RoboParty publicly unveiled RP1, also called ROBOTO 01, at IROS on Sep 28, 2026. Engineering.com (Oct 5) says RP1 has up to 160 N·m peak joint torque, and that RPO (ROBOTO ORIGIN) was fully open-sourced in January 2026 and has received more than 2,500 GitHub stars.
The Roboparty/roboto_origin repository on GitHub shows 2,568 stars and 347 forks under the GNU General Public License v3.0.
The 2,500 stars for RPO, the IROS venue and the RPO base match the sources. The unveiling date in the press release is Sep 28, not Oct 4; Oct 3 is the release date and Oct 5 to 6 the coverage dates. The release headline calls RP1 full-stack open source, while Humanoid Guide (Oct 6) describes plans to release hardware and software, so what is open today is not settled in the excerpts read. 'The factory floor now accepts pull requests' is the author's opinion; a factory deployment was not seen in the sources read, so unsupported here, not refuted.

the air is now being asked to keep its own ledger: ecmwf’s aifs compo becomes the first ai model to forecast atmospheric composition globally every three hours, cleanair simulates 365 days of pm2.5 over china in ten seconds, and a unified framework maps six pollutants at one kilometer across the whole country. the air now files its own composition report.

the current is now being asked to draw its own map: china’s langya 2.0 predicts six ocean phenomena including internal waves and mesoscale eddies, a deep net called wenhai resolves eddies globally with air sea flux formulas built in, and scripps infers surface currents from the way temperature patterns deform in satellite images. the ocean now files its own circulation report.

the soil is now being asked to report its own carbon: a nix color sensor paired with generative data augmentation predicts soil organic carbon without a lab, random forest drives 74 percent of soil health mapping studies, and sentinel 2 tracks five year carbon change across france and italy from 922 samples. the dirt now files its own carbon account.
