About RobotRove

RobotRove is a community-focused publication tracking the open source humanoid robotics ecosystem. We cover research papers, community-built projects, industry developments, and practical tutorials — with a particular focus on open source work that anyone can contribute to.

Why humanoid robots?

Humanoid robotics is at an inflection point. Open source frameworks like ROS 2 have matured, hardware costs have dropped, and community projects like Open Duck Mini and various research platforms are showing what's possible outside of well-funded labs.

We believe open source is how this field will advance fastest — not through closed systems, but through shared knowledge, reproducible research, and a global community of builders.

What we cover

• Research Papers — summaries and analysis of academic work in humanoid locomotion, manipulation, and learning
• Open Source Projects — community-built robots, frameworks, and tools you can actually use
• Industry News — what's happening in commercial humanoid development and how it intersects with open research
• Tutorials — hands-on guides for building, programming, and simulating humanoid robots
