Overview
- Hugging Face is now accepting orders for two Reachy Mini variants: a $299 wired Lite kit and a $449 wireless model powered by a Raspberry Pi 5.
- The Reachy Mini Lite is slated to ship next month, with the wireless version scheduled for release later this year.
- Developers assemble the 28 cm robots themselves and program them in Python, tapping into pre-installed demos and more than 1.7 million AI models on the Hugging Face Hub.
- Each kit features two animated antennas, full-body rotation, six degrees of head movement, a wide-angle camera, microphones, and a speaker.
- This launch follows Hugging Face’s April acquisition of Pollen Robotics and underscores its commitment to open-source hardware and community-driven innovation.
