Pittsburgh – October 03, 2026 -- RoboParty unveiled RP1 (ROBOTO 01), a bipedal humanoid robot it calls the world's first high-performance full-stack open-source humanoid, at IROS 2026 on September 28. The robot delivers peak joint torque of up to 160 N·m, powered by in-house Romomo actuator modules and a real-time motion-control system.

RP1 extends RoboParty's open-source RPO project, which drew over 2,500 GitHub stars since January 2026

RP1 builds on RPO (ROBOTO ORIGIN), RoboParty's fully open-source humanoid initiative launched in January 2026. The project has attracted more than 2,500 GitHub stars and is backed by a developer community exceeding 5,000 members globally.

San Francisco – October 01, 2026 -- Linux Foundation Networking (LFN) has released the initial session lineup for ONE Summit Japan 2026, set for Dec. 10-11 in Tokyo alongside Open Source Summit Japan.

Tokyo event gathers global networking community to address agentic AI shift

The summit will bring together technologists, operators, researchers and open source contributors to examine how artificial intelligence is reshaping network architecture and how networks must evolve to support next-generation AI infrastructure. LFN frames this as one of networking's most significant architectural shifts in decades, with AI functioning simultaneously as a major network workload and as a tool for automating network operations.

Tokyo – September 30, 2026 -- TIER IV, the developer behind the open-source autonomous driving software Autoware, has joined Arm Total Design for Physical AI, a move aimed at expanding Autoware's availability across Arm-based system-on-chips and in-vehicle computing platforms.

TIER IV extends its Arm partnership beyond Open AD Kit

The announcement builds on TIER IV's existing collaboration with Arm through Open AD Kit, an open framework within the Autoware Foundation ecosystem designed to simplify deployment of Autoware across computing platforms. The partnership was demonstrated publicly at CES 2026, where Open AD Kit ran on Arm-based computing platforms.

Palo Alto, Calif. – September 17, 2026 -- The Open Source Vision Foundation (OSVF) is building native OpenCV binaries for Windows on Snapdragon, working directly with Qualcomm Technologies to close a gap for computer vision developers targeting Snapdragon X Series-powered Windows devices.

OSVF targets native builds and automated testing infrastructure for Snapdragon

The project scope covers native OpenCV binaries built specifically for Windows on Snapdragon, automated build-and-test infrastructure designed to ensure quality at scale, targeted software optimizations for performance, and compatibility work to resolve existing dependency issues within the library.

Development will move from experimental native builds toward validated releases distributed through OpenCV's established open-source channels, with all improvements passing through the organization's existing review and testing processes.
