The Hugging Face platform has announced its AI-focused robot<\/strong>. Named “Reachy Mini<\/strong>,” this small and cute robot is likely to attract developers with its open-source<\/strong> structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hugging Face, a platform that serves millions of users today by incorporating various AI models<\/strong>, has made a notable move. At an event, the company unveiled a small, open-source robot<\/strong>. This robot, called “Reachy Mini<\/strong>,” is expected to significantly contribute to the development of AI-powered robotic<\/a><\/em> software<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently available in two different versions and programmable with Python<\/strong>, the small robot will also start supporting JavaScript<\/strong> and Scratch<\/strong> in the future. Enthusiasts who own this small robot will have easy access to a series of behavior libraries<\/strong> published by Hugging Face. These behaviors include things like dancing and following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Hugging Face, Reachy Mini<\/strong> will have a version that can be used by connecting to a computer, or a fully independent version<\/strong> with built-in Raspberry Pi 5<\/strong>, battery<\/strong>, and Wi-Fi connectivity<\/strong>. The mini-robot, which is only 28 centimeters tall<\/strong>, will be sent as a disassembled kit<\/strong> when purchased. Equipped with a camera<\/strong>, microphone<\/strong>, and speaker<\/strong>, Reachy Mini’s<\/strong> head and body parts will be able to move. It will also have animations on its antennas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hugging Face believes its mini-robot will be an important prototype development platform<\/strong> for those developing AI technologies<\/strong>. The robot’s open-source nature<\/strong> will also facilitate collaboration among developers. Consumers wishing to own a Reachy Mini<\/strong> will need to pay $299<\/strong> for the computer-tethered version and $449<\/strong> for the independent version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reachy Mini<\/strong> isn\u2019t just a cute robot \u2014 it\u2019s a powerful tool designed to make artificial intelligence, robotics, and human\u2013machine interaction accessible to everyone. Created by Pollen Robotics<\/strong>, this open-source humanoid robot gives researchers, students, and developers a hands-on way to build, test, and understand real AI behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Straight out of the box, Reachy Mini feels like something out of a sci-fi lab. It\u2019s compact, beautifully engineered, and surprisingly expressive for its size. The robot can move its arms, track objects, and even respond to voice or visual inputs \u2014 creating an eerily lifelike interaction. Its modular, open-source architecture means you can literally teach it to do almost anything, from recognizing gestures to learning new skills through AI models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
