Social RoboticsHugging Face opens orders for the Reachy Mini desktop robot
An open-source, expressive tabletop robot aimed at AI developers went on sale from $299.
Hugging Face began taking orders for Reachy Mini, a self-assembly desktop robot developed after its Pollen Robotics acquisition. It comes as a $449 wireless model with a Raspberry Pi 5 inside and a $299 Lite version that connects to a computer, and features two screen eyes and expressive antennas. The robot is programmable in Python and connects to the Hugging Face Hub's large library of models. Cheap, open, expressive hardware like this lowers the barrier for researchers and hobbyists to experiment with conversational, socially engaging robots.
