RoboParty RP1 Humanoid Releases Full PCB Files; Chinese Data Laws Cannot Be Waived

RoboParty, a Shanghai startup founded by Yi Huang in early 2025, published the complete hardware and software design stack for its 1.35-meter RP1 humanoid on GitHub, including SolidWorks CAD, fabrication-ready Gerber files for 14 custom PCBs, PartyOS firmware and deployment repositories, and Isaac Lab training workflows. The release is limited by the omission of embedded ROMOMO actuator firmware, the CC BY-NC 4.0 license on the UFO motion-learning framework, and a lack of RL tasks or deployment guide for the 30-DoF Pro, while performance figures remain manufacturer-reported and Chinese data-law obligations apply. The company previously raised approximately ¥500 million (about $74.9 million) in a CATL-led Pre-A round with backing from Xiaomi, SenseTime, and Shunwei Capital.
