Reachy Mini

Reachy Mini is an expressive, open-source desktop robot from Pollen Robotics and Hugging Face, designed for human-robot interaction, creative coding and embodied-AI experimentation. It has 9 degrees of freedom: a 6-DoF head on a Stewart platform, 360° body rotation and two animated antennas. A 12MP wide-angle camera, a 4-microphone array and a 5W speaker let it see, hear and speak.

It is programmable in Python through an open SDK and integrates with the Hugging Face ecosystem and the Reachy Mini Control desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux. Both versions ship as DIY kits (about two hours to assemble). Reachy Mini Lite connects over USB-C to your computer, which does the processing. Reachy Mini Wireless adds onboard Raspberry Pi CM4 compute, Wi-Fi, an accelerometer and a battery for untethered use.
