Not everything has been published yet. The company says perception, interaction and the execution of complex tasks still have to be integrated and validated, and that more software will be opened up gradually.

According to the manufacturer, the standard version stands about 1.3 metres tall and has 24 active degrees of freedom. It is used to study walking, balance and the transfer from simulation to the real world.

The RP1 Pro rises to 30 active degrees of freedom, with a neck articulated on two axes and seven axes per arm. It is aimed in particular at work on human-robot interaction.

RoboParty was founded in Shanghai in 2025. It develops humanoid hardware, motion control systems and open source tools for robotics research.
