Beijing startup RoboParty open-sources Roboto Origin, a full-stack humanoid prototype, attracting 1,000+ GitHub Stars globally.
Beijing-based startup RoboParty has open-sourced its flagship bipedal humanoid, Roboto Origin, just months after completing R&D in 120 days.As the world’s first full-stack open-source bipedal humanoid prototype, it has quickly earned 1,000+ GitHub Stars and nearly 100 kit pre-orders.
The firm, backed by $10M from MPCi, Xiaomi, and Galbot, RoboParty aims to advance embodied AI, with its next model featuring a Behavior Foundation Model .In April 2025, the Beijing-based startup, founded by 21-year-old Huang Yi, launched to build open-source bipedal humanoids, securing a seven-figure seed round from top investors.Robotics made openRoboParty’s journey began with founder Yi Huang at Harbin Institute of Technology, where he won a national tech competition in 2023 with an amphibious drone and built AlexBot, a $2,300 open-source bipedal robot in his dorm. This early work drew sponsorship from Fourier Intelligence and attention from Boston Dynamics founder Marc Raibert. Frustrated by the industry’s inefficiencies, Huang graduated early and launched RoboParty in 2025.The team developed Robot Origin in just 120 days , a 1.25m, 75-pound prototype designed to validate end-to-end humanoid robotics workflows—not commercialization. Using decoupled parallel development, they iterated quickly, aligning hardware and software, testing Sim2Real feasibility, and demonstrating small-team agility.Huang Yi’s RoboParty aims to create China’s first open-source humanoid robot.Rejecting short-term orders, RoboParty fully open-sourced Roboto Origin in January 2026, sharing hardware designs, software, and engineering insights to democratize humanoid robotics. The launch included a global developer co-creation program, creating a reproducible, extensible, and verifiable system.Roboto Origin runs at 3 m/s, powered by RoboParty’s self-developed AMP anthropomorphic gait algorithm for stable, natural motion. Its open-source scope spans the entire industrial chain: hardware , software , and engineering . According to RoboParty, with 1,000+ GitHub Stars and a growing developer community, Roboto Origin exemplifies collaborative progress in Embodied Infrastructure, setting a new standard for open, full-stack humanoid robotics.Embodied AI platformRoboParty’s open-source approach tackles the robotics industry’s three main challenges—high costs, fragmented designs, and disunified architectures—by creating a shared Embodied Infrastructure foundation. This model is expected to reduce development costs for humanoid robotics by up to 80 percent.According to the company, Roboto Origin has attracted top global talent, from university researchers to Fortune 500 engineers and startup technical teams, forming a collaborative network that accelerates innovation beyond individual organizations. A statement details that RoboParty maintains a global “Hands-On Humanoid Robot Problem List,” converting individual trial-and-error into collective knowledge. By open-sourcing full-link verification capabilities, the company empowers small teams and independent developers with equal access to high-performance foundational resources, democratizing embodied intelligence development.RoboParty’s roadmap: 2026—expand developer community, refine Roboto Origin, enable small-scale education and research use. 2027–2028—launch BMF robot, monetize components, support 500+ applications. Post-2029—build a universal humanoid platform for large-scale embodied AI deployment.“The ultimate endgame of humanoid robots lies in open collaborative Embodied Infrastructure. Our goal is to let the best robot solutions be born from this ecosystem, serving the whole world,” said Yi Huang, founder of RoboParty, in a statement.
