Zeroth Robotics is an open-source project closely connected with K-Scale Labs, a Y-Combinator startup from Palo Alto. The project was founded in 2024 and targets developers and researchers who want to experiment with an affordable, hackable humanoid robot.
The Zeroth-01 (also Zeroth Bot) is a small, 3D-printed humanoid whose design files, bills of materials, and software are publicly accessible. The system is designed for sim-to-real training and allows movements learned in simulation to be transferred directly to the hardware. After a failed funding round, K-Scale Labs released all intellectual property under a non-commercial license.
The project exemplifies the open-hardware trend in the humanoid sector and makes robotics experiments accessible to universities and individual developers. K-Scale Labs' complete disclosure of all documentation is unusual for a VC-funded startup and creates a valuable shared foundation for the research community.
