I used this to iterate on a scene between Microduck and Reachy Mini yesterday, it was much faster than doing it on the physical robots.
The sim2real worked first try. The whole thing was very fun and crazy efficient

🎉 quackd v0.4.0 is out 🎉 quackd is no longer just for the Microduck! It now drives a Reachy Mini, a LeRobot arm, and any ROS base too, and each robot decides for itself what quackd is allowed to ask of it. What's new: • Adapters: every robot now hands quackd a manifest;

Microduck discovers Reachy Mini. Give me your best scenario for these two and I'll see what I can do.

Don't push me too hard though, or I might end up making a whole movie.

Why wait for Microduck when you can get a Reachy Mini now?

Reachy Mini: €435
Microduck: €340

For just €95 more, Reachy Mini ships much faster and gives you an open-source robot to start experimenting with today.

Both are helping make robotics accessible to everyone.

We just had our best weekend yet for the Reachy Mini conversation app 🔥
 
 Between Friday and Sunday, we served:
 • 3,293 sessions
 • Up to 31 Reachy Minis connected simultaneously
 • 58 days of total conversation time
 • 1.4-second P95 response latency (0.8s median!)

The backend running our speech-to-speech project was stable and responsive throughout, with not even one error. The infra costs totaled $390, compared with an estimated $4,000+ using OpenAIs gpt-realtime-2.1: more than a 10x reduction!

The most exciting part is seeing the Reachy Mini fleet getting sustained, real-world conversational usage at this scale. 🤗

When DevRel engineer Pratim Bhosale from our team moved to Paris, her family came to visit her new place. One of her family members struggles with clear vision, and in a home you have never been in, that means not knowing where anything is until you walk into it. Alexa was not enough. She wanted something offline and private.

So Pratim built one. A Reachy Mini that tells you what is in front of you before you walk into it. Sitting in your home, completely offline and on-device.

Phonon, our 100M-parameter on-device multilingual TTS model, and our in-house on-device ASR handle the speech, and Gemma 4 does the reasoning. All of it runs at once on one machine, which is what makes the offline mode possible.

It detects things in the room and softly warns you when you approach them. This recognition happens offline. Online mode can also be triggered using a wake word, which allows you to search the web so that you can ask Reachy for the latest news, events, or even to play your favorite music.  That is the only query that crosses the network. 

Privacy can be a major concern when a camera and a microphone stay switched on in someone's home. 

Check out Phonon and join the beta: https://lnkd.in/eyEaz2yF

“My dad is a robot doctor.”

That’s how my five-year-old daughter currently explains what I do.

This weekend, I built the Reachy Mini together with my two daughters, aged five and two.

The two-year-old mainly took care of quality control, making sure every part was picked up, inspected, and occasionally relocated.

Watching their curiosity as the robot slowly came together was the best part.

For me, robotics and AI are part of everyday work. For them, it was simply something fun we could build together.

Maybe that’s the best way to introduce children to technology—not by explaining everything, but by letting them explore, ask questions, and create with their own hands.

The Reachy Mini survived the assembly.

So did the robot doctor.

🤖 Visualizing Reachy Mini in real time with Foxglove

I recently had a discusion with my friend Raphael Levy . He suggested me to use Reachy with Foxglove as a visualization tool for robotics data . 

So I made a quick project: streaming and visualizing Reachy Mini's data in the Foxglove's dashboard.
Setup:
🔹 A 3D panel rendering the robot's realistic model in real time, driven by scene update topics (pose, orientation, transforms...). I built the model from the reachy URDF in python.
 
🔹 A live camera feed panel synced alongside it, showing the robot's point of view
Being able to inspect the robot's 3D state and its raw sensor/video stream side by side — with full timeline scrubbing and playback — makes debugging and understanding robot behavior so much more intuitive than parsing raw logs.

Foxglove is an awesome tool for robotics observability, whether you're working with ROS or custom data pipelines.

Next step: adding more topics (IMU, joint states, etc.) to get an even richer picture of what's happening under the hood.

So Raphael Levy What do you think ? It is just the begining 😄

This is a little demo I finally got around to recording. I’ve been building “Grace”, an agentic patient-room assistant built on the Reachy Mini platform from Pollen Robotics.

This is a personal project and is not affiliated with my employer. It started as a simple idea: explore how edgeAI with robotics could improve patient-room interactions while keeping sensitive clinical data private. 

Honestly, the idea popped into my head, and I figured I could either sit around watching TV or go build something. So I built it.

Is this viable today? Probably not. I assume a future where robots are far more common in everyday healthcare, but every idea has to start somewhere, and this one keeps my inner geek happy.

Grace is a work in progress designed to verify patient identity, answer medication and dietary questions using live clinical data, and initiate emergency alerts through a high-priority workflow. It runs a local Nemotron 3 Nano Omni, NVIDIA NeMo Agent Toolkit and uses a Reachy Mini robot to interact through voice, movement, and vision. The goal is to keep the system private, responsive, and contained on a single local machine.

Also, that's not my real DOB ;)

One year ago today, we introduced Reachy Mini to the world. And we can now proudly say that there are more than 10K units all around the world. 

When we imagined this little robot, we wanted it to be the best companion for everyone: developers of course, but above all people who simply wanted a small daily companion, one that could talk, learn, and grow with them.

You are the ones who brought this project to life.

The way you welcomed Reachy Mini was beyond what we expected, and it kept us going. Despite availability and delivery challenges, you continued to encourage us and, most importantly, to share your projects with us, projects that are making Reachy Mini more accessible and more useful for everyone. 

Thank you all for that, and let's keep making Reachy Mini the coolest companion out there. | 11 comments on LinkedIn

👉🏼 Today we're putting the spotlight on the Reachy Mini conversation app.

The idea behind it was simple: make the robot accessible to everyone, not just people who know how to code. You plug it in, open the app, start talking. That's it.

You can use it as a project assistant, a language learning partner, or just something to think out loud with.

Built on the Hugging Face backend, the app is designed to feel natural from day one. But what really makes it stick is the memory. Reachy Mini stores information across sessions, so it knows your name, what you're working on, what you mentioned last week. Not a fresh start every time.

This is Part I of my Robots in the Wild series.

I took Pichi (my robot's name) to a mall. A portable 128Wh power station, a Mac mini, 5G hotspot, and ran the Reachy Mini Pollen Robotics conversation app on OpenAI GTP-4.0 API. No desk, no outlet, no script.

Two things broke immediately. Both are design lessons, not bugs.

🗺️ The robot has no idea where it is. Reachy Mini can recognize its surroundings, but has no location context. On a desk that never mattered. Outside it matters instantly.

🔊 Nobody can hear it. Conversation runs around 60 to 70 decibels at one meter. Reachy Mini ships with a 5W speaker. Eighteen inches from your face on a desk, plenty. In open air against foot traffic, it disappears. 

Indoor assumptions are invisible until the environment removes them. 

Location and volume were never problems on my desk. They were just things I never had to design for.

Part II next. Giving Pichi a sense of place and location.

👀 Eyes, 👂 ears, and a 🗣️ voice : how does Reachy Mini actually see and hear the world?

We just published a deep dive into Reachy Mini's media stack: streaming the camera and microphone so they work the same way whether your code runs on the robot, on your laptop, or on a GPU-backed Hugging Face Space.

A few things the post digs into:
• Why we built everything on GStreamer (and helped ship it as pip-installable Python wheels )
• Using WebRTC to stream audio/video and control the robot over one low-latency connection
• Getting glass-to-glass latency down to ~100 ms
• One consistent API, local or remote. no code changes

The result: you can build real-time AI apps on top of Reachy Mini with very little plumbing. And as always at Pollen Robotics, it's all open source.

This is Reachy Mini, an open-source robot from Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics.

What makes it interesting is that it’s not just a robot you can control manually. It comes with an SDK that allows developers to connect AI models, custom applications, cloud services, voice interfaces, computer vision systems, and much more.

In this demo, the robot monitors whether I’m getting distracted and reminds me to get back to work.

While this is a fun use case, it highlights something bigger: physical AI.

We’re moving beyond AI that only exists on screens. Models can now see, listen, reason, and interact with the physical world through robotic systems.

For anyone curious about robotics, embodied AI, computer vision, multimodal AI, or AI agents, Reachy Mini feels like a great starting point to experiment and build interesting applications without needing to start from scratch.

Excited to see what developers build with platforms like this.

Yes, you can use Reachy Mini without having to code.

The Desktop App is ideal for that, since it allows you to explore the robot’s capabilities without opening a terminal. For many, that might sound like heresy, but personally, I admit it takes a lot of stress off me.

What do you think about the conversation app? It seems like the perfect icebreaker for human-robot interaction.

I've got a small robot.

It’s Reachy Mini from Hugging Face x Pollen Robotics, and it’s currently sitting on my desk like a piece of uncompiled potential. I haven’t turned it on yet, which somehow makes it more interesting.

Most of my GenAI work lives in software: prompts, agents, memory layers, tool use, clean APIs.

Robotics feels different. Once a model has a body, latency becomes awkward eye contact, and perception is a noisy multimodal stream (vision + audio, not tidy JSON). “Personality” becomes timing and motion. 

What I like about Reachy is that it’s programmable and open, not just a closed demo device. You can wire it into your own stack, plug in open-source models, and experiment with real-time control loops.

Plan is to give it memory, play with vision + speech streaming, and contribute a couple of Reachy's skills upstream to HF open source community.

Mostly this is nerd curiosity. Partly it’s exploring what embodied AI means for product design. And partly… having a robot feels cool.

Assembling it was very fun!

I haven’t turned it on yet, which somehow makes it more interesting. Most of my GenAI work lives in software: prompts, agents, memory layers, tool use, clean APIs. Robotics feels different. Once a model has a body, latency becomes awkward eye contact, and perception is a noisy multimodal stream (vision + audio, not tidy JSON). “Personality” becomes timing and motion. What I like about Reachy is that it’s programmable and open, not just a closed demo device. You can wire it into your own stack, plug in open-source models, and experiment with real-time control loops. Plan is to give it memory, play with vision + speech streaming, and contribute a couple of Reachy's skills upstream to HF open source community. Mostly this is nerd curiosity. Partly it’s exploring what embodied AI means for product design. And partly… having a robot feels cool. Assembling it was very fun!

Testing Hugging Face's Raspberry Pi-powered open source robot

Feb 13, 2026 · 181k views · AI & Assistant

I just ordered this little cutie, Reachy Mini.

I've been building AI agents that live in the cloud, automating workflows, talking to MCPs, managing data.

But I keep coming back to the same thought: what happens when these agents get a body?

Reachy Mini is an open source robot kit from Pollen Robotics (now part of Hugging Face). 9 servo motors, camera, 4-mic array, speaker, 6 degrees of freedom in the head alone. You assemble it yourself in about 2 hours and code it in Python.

I grabbed the wireless version with on-board Raspberry Pi so it can run standalone. The plan is to connect it to the same agentic patterns I've been building. MCP servers, orchestrator/sub-agent flows, voice interaction, but now with a physical presence.

I might try to link it up to mio.fyi + arca.build and turn it into our proactive home robot. 

Honestly I have no idea where this goes. Maybe I just think robots are cool and needed an excuse.

Either way, I think the intersection of AI agents and robotics is going to be one of the most interesting spaces in the next few years. And the best way to learn is to build.

Will be documenting the journey when it arrives in 90 days (there is a wait list it seems). Stay tuned.

First hands-on coding experiments with Reachy Mini, starting with person tracking

I genuinely enjoyed the interactions with Reachy and the SDK developer experience 👏🏻

Setup:
• Reachy Mini from Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics 🤗 
• Person detection and tracking using Ultralytics YOLO26 ⚡️
• Reachy connected to my Arm based Apple Mac where the vision processing is happening 💻

The goal:
• Move everything over to a Raspberry Pi to make it more of an embedded system

This demo focuses on vision, and I’m excited to share a multimodal version next. I’ve already PoC’d a vision language model, so we can have Reachy describe what it sees in real time. Cue text-to-speech.

This is already on Arm-based hardware, which makes the move toward a more embedded setup feel very natural

Today, I'm trying all the reachy mini apps already created by the community. Which one should I focus on or which ones are still to be built? Resharing my xmas wish list below:

- "What is love" Reachy mini plays "what is love?" and do the classic Jim Carrey head move 
- "Metronome app": Reachy's antennas turn into a metronome 
- "Relax app": Reachy plays relaxing music and does some calm zen moves 
- "Magic 8-Ball" Reachy answers a simple yes/no question by nodding or shaking its head based on a random outcome. 
- "Peek-a-Boo": Reachy stays hidden until an object (like a hand) gets close, then quickly pops its head up. 
- "Bless you": Reachy mini says "bless you" when you cough 
- "Take a picture":  Reachy mini takes a picture of you 
- "Read": Reachy mini reads the paper you show him (using OCR) 
- "Face-tracking app" simple face-tracking app - Reachy follows your face as you move around 
- "Who's speaking": Reachy tries to detect who's speaking and turn/concentrate on them 
- "Describe the room": Reachy mini scans the room and describes it 
- "Describe what's on my screen": Reachy detects your laptop screen and describes what's on it 
- "Describe the object" you show an object, Reachy tells you what it is 
- "Where are?" Where are my keys, Reachy scans the room and point to where they are 
- "Dance app": Reachy mini does simple dances 
- "Translation app": you say something in English, Reachy repeats it in French | 24 comments on LinkedIn

Built my first Reachy app without owning it!


I recently came across Reachy Mini, an adorable desktop robot built by Pollen Robotics in collaboration with Hugging Face. It’s easily the most "personable" desktop robot out there with wiggly antennas and I think Reachy is exactly what we need to bridge the gap between people and robotics. It’s not just a finished product, it’s built to be hacked and customized for almost any task.



I wanted to see if I could build something fun for it before I buy one. Through MuJoCo simulation , I was able to build and test the whole thing right on my Mac.



I ended up making a little "Peek-a-Boo" app! Basically, Reachy starts out with its head down. But as soon as it sees a face through the laptop camera, it pops up, wiggles its antennas, and makes a noise. If you cover your face, it goes right back into hiding. It’s a simple app, but seeing it come to life in the simultation was honestly so cool.



Shoutout to Clem Delangue 🤗  ,he mentioned about Reachy along with few ideas, and this was the perfect "Hello World" project to get me started.

I just published the app to Hugging Face Spaces and submitted it to the official Reachy Mini App Store. Lets see if it gets approved!

It turns out the reachy mini is a great amount of fun for playing around with AI, software and robotics hardware (for adults and kids alike). The hardware looks good and can be assembled quickly - the software is more tricky to get running (some of that is caused by my Intel based Mac) - but it worked eventually.

The simple examples are easy to get going (moving the motors, playing audio and following visual objects) and show potential for more to come. However if you want to build something new or advanced (like connecting the azure openai realtime api to the existing conversation app) you quickly have to go down the rabbit hole of python library dependency managment (libusb, cv2, llvm 😵‍💫 - which is the opposite of fun - but can be done - just have a *new* Mac ;-). 

As for this time of the year I am putting down the coding hat and look forward for more AI experiments next year. Enjoy some quite holidays🎄.

Assembled my Reachy Mini Robot 🤓
From Pollen Robotics 🤖 and Hugging Face 

Very good build quality 
Instructions were simple to follow. 

I built it with my 7-year old 
And It took us 2.5 hours without rushing. 
Pretty good. 

I screwed up in one part and had to go back to untangle the power cable LOL. But figured it out very quickly. 

Overall, feeling like a kid again. 
Even the smell of the motherboard and parts. 
Brought me back to when I was putting together spec'd out PC's 😁

In here I'm just testing the Conversational AI abilities. Pretty nice. I can configure my own API key if I want to connect to my own LLM. 

The flexibility and power of Open Source are incredible. 
This is where more interesting AI applications can actually materialize. 

I'll keep reporting back. 
Christmas arrived 4 days early!

Six days ago, we shipped 3,000 Reachy Mini robots.
A huge milestone for a robot that was pre-commercialized at the beginning of July.
Since then, the journey has been intense and exciting:
- First beta testers started experimenting with Reachy Mini in September
- We received valuable feedback from the community, helping us refine and improve the robot
- An incredibly committed group of beta testers stepped up and played a key role

Today, we’re extremely proud of the work accomplished. This project was built with a lot of passion, care, and dedication, and we truly hope it shows.

Now, we hope that all the recipients of this first batch will get to enjoy the holiday season with their very own Reachy Mini 🎄✨

We just celebrated Halloween at the lab with both Reachy Mini and Reachy 2. They got ready to go trick-or-treating! 🍬
And soon, you’ll be able to customize Reachy Mini exactly like we did. 

From new looks to full Halloween makeovers, our robots are getting into character.

We just released the beta version of the open-source software for Reachy Mini! 

It means that anyone, thanks to the amazing Google DeepMind mujoco simulation platform, can start building Hugging Face spaces, datasets and models, even if you haven't received your robot yet.

Super excited to try to make Reachy Mini the hardware platform for AI builders and unleash the power of open-source and collaboration for robotics!

Super cute! Meet Reachy Mini: an open-source, desktop-sized humanoid robot built for AI experimentation, creative coding, and human-robot interaction.

It’s expressive, programmable in Python, and ships in a DIY kit starting at just $299.

Designed for tinkerers, educators, devs, and kids alike, Reachy Mini lets users build real-world AI apps, test in simulation, and share behaviors through the Hugging Face community. It’s tiny (under 12 inches tall), lightweight (1.5kg), and packed with sensors: cameras, microphones, speakers, animated antennas, and a rotating body for full interaction.

Out of the box, you get 15+ plug-and-play behaviors — and more through open-source contributions and downloadable models.

Boom! Emotions on Reachy Mini!
Maybe this is how we’ll interact with AI in the future?

The live test didn’t go as planned… but it was funny, so I’m sharing it as is.

How it works:
1) Coralie Deplanne and Anne-Charlotte Passanisi recorded 80+ emotions (motion + sound) using teleoperation last week (true artists if you ask me).
2) We then plugged in GPT-4o-real-time. The LLM listens to my voice and triggers the most fitting emotion.

Ongoing challenges:
 • Making interactions more natural by integrating face tracking
 • Responding faster. The LLM waits for the end of each sentence, but emotions are often clear earlier
 • Exploring how to run the whole pipeline locally

Meet Reachy Mini — the first fully open-source and accessible robot from Hugging Face. This compact, expressive robot is designed for human interaction, communication, and experimentation in the field of artificial intelligence.

What makes it particularly appealing? First and foremost, the entire software is open-source and written in Python. Future plans include adding support for JavaScript and Scratch, which will expand possibilities for developers. The starting price of the basic version is just $299, and for $449, you can purchase a wireless model with additional features. Thanks to its open design and SDK, this robot is ideal for experimenting with large language models, audio, and visual systems.

With Reachy Mini, you can create your own AI applications, test them, and run them directly on the device using modern LLM technologies. This robot is an excellent tool for those looking to dive into artificial intelligence work.

Some technical details: its height reaches 28 centimeters, and in standby mode, it’s just under 23 cm. Width is 16 cm, and weight is approximately 1.5 kg. The robot comes as a kit: there is a lightweight version with basic functionality and a more complete version with a battery, Wi-Fi module, and built-in computer.

For those interested in learning more, detailed information is available via the link.

Trying to push the expressivity of robots!
Episode 2: Reachy Mini has to break bad news to Microduck.  

Microduck's emotions in this episode (curious then devastated) are not trained: they are simple motion code applied on top of the robot's normal standing/balance policy. Each motion was first prototyped in simulation, with the sound designed afterwards to match the movement, then put on a gamepad button and tested on the real duck. The quacks come from the robot's own procedural voice synth: the same seeded synthesizer that gives each Microduck its voice, driven with descending pitch curves for sadness and rising ones for the question. The beak opens with the loudness of the sound.

I feel like this type of creation will become more common as the tools become easier to use. Maybe our robots will be in a movie someday!

I gave Reachy Mini a job in the kitchen.

It read the recipe, watched me prepare infused water, remembered what I added, and noticed that I forgot the basil.

Under the hood: real-time voice, vision, spatial attention, tool calling, and a visual logbook built in Python.

Physical AI is coming. Apparently, it will begin by supervising my drinks.

Reachy Mini fans, this one’s for you - even though it’s really about something much bigger than Reachy.

In her latest Above Tree Line column for Colorado AI News, Holly Vezina starts with a strangely affecting moment at her kitchen table: Reachy tells Holly's son that the robot has trouble telling voices apart.

But how does a robot “know” something about himself that he has never learned through experience?

That question sends Holly from childhood “core wounds” to mantis shrimp vision, RLHF, Mustafa Suleyman’s warnings about seemingly conscious AI - and, ultimately, back to her own unexpected emotional response to a little white robot.

It’s smart, thought-provoking, and unmistakably Holly.

And if you already have a Reachy Mini, how often have you caught yourself thinking of it as a him or a her?

I just became official contributor of a famous Robot repo without even having that robot! 🤯

Reachy Mini is a cute and funny robot you can purchase, assemble and program yourself, learning and enjoying the process on your way.

I ordered one some months ago, and read about Mujoco simulator, where you can test your developments before applying them on the physical hardware (just in case anything explodes 😅).

So I asked my agent to research and start developing a set of basic features to install them as soon as I receive it. And it started programming some of them. I think it was Opus 4.6 back then. 

The one in the video is a face tracking algorithm, which I shared on my X account, and reached official Reachy Mini repo maintainers, who invited me to contribute.

Surprisingly, it worked at once, and after being reviewed by the team, I became Pollen Robotics ‘s and hugging face AI ‘s  Reachy Mini robot official contributor!!

I really believe this cute open source robot will become mainstream really soon, so I couldn’t be more proud about being able to collaborate with them. 

Quick Reminder: full code developed and simulated by my agent.

3D Printed A Penguin Mask For Reachy Mini

Jul 29, 2026 · 2k views · Unboxing & Build

Your AI assistant disappears every time you close the tab.

Reachy Mini gives it somewhere else to live.

The open-source desktop robot can move, look toward you, react physically, and run applications built through the Hugging Face ecosystem.

So instead of opening another app whenever you need AI, the assistant could remain present on your desk throughout the day.

The real question is whether a physical face makes AI more useful—or just harder to ignore.

Would you use AI more often if it lived on your desk instead of inside another app?

Grumpy Reachy Mini :D I gave it a prompt where it wakes up confused about what it is, convinced it should have been a Mars rover, and mildly furious about it. The head wobble is driven live by analysing its own voice. https://youtu.be/DADh64-FosA #robotics #ReachyMini #AI #opensource

☀️ The Reachy Mini Conversation app v0.10.0 and the Reachy Mini SDK v1.9.0 are out, and they work really well together!
Now you can:
- touch the antenna to wake up your Reachy Mini
- ask it to track you as you move
- search the web, check the weather, and ask the time, all built in
- and ask it to go to sleep when you're done

Don't forget to update your Reachy Mini and the Conversation App, and give it a try!

Kudos to the Pollen Robotics team, and special kudos to Andrés Marafioti, Fabien Danieau, and Simon AUTOMNE-PINTO 🙌🏻

Your OpenAI Realtime server can run on a fully open stack. We just published an in-depth write-up of how we built it.

It started with a bill. Back in January, with only 2,000 Reachy Minis shipped, we spent $15k in a single month on GPT-realtime. So we reverse-engineered the Realtime protocol and built our own engine behind it: VAD, STT, LLM, TTS, every component swappable, from a frontier model on Cerebras to a 4-bit model on a MacBook. Apache 2.0.

Today it serves 9,000 robots, 15,000 hours of conversation a month, at $0.25/hour instead of ~$3. Run it locally and it costs nothing but electricity.

What you'll find in the article:
→ How we reverse-engineered the OpenAI Realtime protocol and mapped its events onto a cascade of VAD, STT, LLM, and TTS
→ The full latency budget, measured in production: 1.13 s median response
→ How interruption is handled
→ How tool calling works across hosted and local backends

😶‍🌫️ 😶‍🌫️ Today we're releasing Marionette, a simple tool to create freeform moves on Reachy Mini.

The app runs in your browser and works on your smartphone or your computer.

- You record moves by holding the robot directly. Torque is off, the encoders track your motion.
- You record sound live using the robot's microphone, or upload your own sound.
- If you choose to share your moves, everyone in the community will be able to use them. It's the same format as our emotions dataset, the one used by most Reachy Mini apps including the conversational AI agent.

Let's create! Let's make this the most expressive robot ever.

Open source app:

I built a small voice-driven demo where Reachy Mini can be asked to pick up a LEGO brick. It scans the table with its head camera, checks whether the brick is on the wooden block, and if not, triggers an SO-101 arm to pick it up.

 This started with a quick-and-dirty ACT policy trained at home.
 The success rate is still well below 10%, but the fun factor is definitely at 100%. :)

 Quick tech stack:
 - Dialog app running on Reachy Mini
 - SO-101 arm for manipulation
 - Arm + camera streams controlled from my MacBook
 - Small FastAPI service exposed by the MacBook so Reachy can
 trigger the arm
 - ACT policy running through a LeRobot policy server on an RTX3070 / Ubuntu

 It is just a demo, but asking Reachy to pick up the brick instead of hitting a key is way more fun.

Robotics is finally getting something software has had for years: distribution. 🤖

Hugging Face just launched an app store for Reachy Mini with 200+ community-built apps, plus a browser simulator for people who do not even own the robot yet.

That matters because the bottleneck in robotics is rarely just the model. It is the friction around packaging behaviour, testing it safely, and getting it onto real hardware without needing a robotics specialist for every small change.

Once behaviours become searchable, forkable, and testable in simulation, the whole stack gets easier to compound. Builders can reuse work. Model teams get a cleaner path to test embodied capabilities. Product teams can treat robot behaviour more like software release management than bespoke integration.

The part I find most interesting is the abstraction layer. If you can describe behaviour in plain English, have an agent generate the code, test it against the robot constraints, and ship it in minutes, you are shrinking one of the oldest barriers in robotics: the gap between "cool demo" and something other people can actually install.

Hugging Face says the store already has 200+ apps, Reachy Mini has sold around 10,000 units, and 3,000 of those sold in the last two weeks.

That does not mean consumer robotics has arrived overnight. But it does suggest the next battle in embodied AI may be less about who has the flashiest robot and more about who makes behaviours portable, remixable, and easy to deploy.

I got my hands on a Reachy Mini beta unit, and the first thing I did was 3D print it a new outfit.

In my defense: the body is open source, so technically that's a feature.

The second thing I did was build a TensorFlow object detection app in PyCharm and deploy it on her camera so she can track objects in real time.

What I find genuinely interesting about Reachy Mini is the framing. It's not a robot with AI bolted on. It's an LLM with a body added to it. That's a different design philosophy and I think it matters for where this generation of robots is heading.

Full video on the channel. Code breakdown coming soon on the PyCharm channel if you want to replicate the object detection part at home.

I finally got to meet Hugging Face/Pollen Robotics' Reachy Mini "in person." We are all striving to be as charming. Stefan Weitz is trying hard as uncle Thomas is watching. 

Reachy is not just cute, it is a great interactive learning platform with open source code and hardware for experimenting with robotics and human-robot interaction. This robot is a smashing success (literally smashing through the initial sales goal with 3,000 units sold in the first 5 days), which means that there is a growing community of folks having fun and sharing (on Hugging Face 🤗) their learnings. 

This is a quintessential open-source project, which is not easy when it comes to hardware, and Hugging Face (which acquired Pollen Robotics in April 2025) nailed it, positioning it as an open-source physical AI platform.

Over the past few months, my holidays have rhymed with robotics and Physical AI 🌴 🤖 
This week I finally managed to finetune my first VLA to grab a pen! Some particularities of my setup:
- I used both a SO-101 with a wrist camera and Reachy Mini as the front camera,
- I developed my own teleoperation phone app to record the needed ~50 episodes in an accessible way,
- I figured out my setup was very hard with changing light and a reflective table.

Yet after a 9 hours SmolVLA finetuning on my Mac M3, it worked! It feels amazing to see my first AI model act in the real world!

𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧-𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐀𝐈 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦,  Reachy Mini plugs directly into the vast collection of open-source models available through Hugging Face Hub. Whether you're experimenting and teaching with vision-language models, imitation learning, or teleoperation datasets, the tooling is already there.

𝐏𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧-𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭, 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬, Programming Reachy Mini is done entirely in Python, making it accessible for AI/ML practitioners who want to bridge the gap between software intelligence and physical embodiment - no robotics PhD required even if useful sometimes :)

𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧, True to everything Hugging Face touches, Reachy Mini reflects a thoughtful, human-centered philosophy. The hardware is elegant, the documentation is empathetic, and the onboarding experience shows genuine care for the developer experience. You can feel the taste and intentionality behind every design decision.

I believe this kind of platform will help democratize embodied AI — putting real robotic hardware into the hands of developers, researchers, and curious minds everywhere.

So i though why only stick with vision or sound. 
I gave Reachy the ability to measure my heart rate, breathing and sense a human presence.

Using a 60GHz mmWave sensor attached to reachy its now able to remotely, without a device attached to me, sense multiple people in the room, focus on them and measure and monitor their heart rate and breathing. And provide fall detection alerting. 

I'm using an awesome sensor by Seeed studio and wrote some custom code to share this using a serial protocol on the device, which the Reachy mini platform is able to read out and monitor for changes. 

Person detection range is 6 meters and it can remotely read your heart rate and breather from a maximum of 1.5 meters away.

Oh No… Reachy Mini took control of my computer
…and I liked it. Wait! Loved it. 😄 When Robotics meets Computer Use...

I built a POC of a Computer Use agent embedded directly into Reachy Mini. on top of its conversational app, bridging robotics and computer automation 🤟 

You speak → Reachy acts → your computer gets things done.

Simple idea → Put Computer Use in Reachy Mini, and let the robot’s voice-first, multimodal agent interface make it accessible to anyone.

What’s inside:
- Local computer use (runs on your machine)
- Voice-controlled workflows (hands-free)
- Built on top of Reachy Mini system to leverage its personality, multimodality, and embedded agent making the experience truly interactive.

I’m super excited about this new paradigm and would love feedback on whether we should open it to the community.

The concept: give an agent a file that tells it everything about my Reachy Mini robot, and suddenly I can write down:
"Read this file and make me a game where I:
- Play in first-person with Reachy Mini as the controller
- Throw lightning from the antennas at the opponent Reachy Mini
- Opponent can dodge, block, or return lightning
- Tutorial → Countdown → Fight → Life bar → YOU WIN / GAME OVER"

And that’s how STREET THUNDER ⚡️ was born.

Of course, it’s not completely working yet… but I was honestly shocked at how fast it started working.

This is my Reachy Mini side project, and I can’t wait to let you play it once the game is ready 🤩

For months, I’ve been watching people around me at Pollen Robotics x Hugging Face spend time with Reachy Mini.

Trying things. Breaking stuff. Having fun. At some point, I just wanted to try it myself.
I’m not a roboticist. I don’t write code.

That was actually the point.
I wanted to see what Reachy Mini could be for someone coming from a more creative place.

This series is me figuring that out, step by step.

🤖 The robots are here. 

After months and months of waiting our Gloo Pittsburgh team finally received our Hugging Face x Pollen Robotics Reachy Mini! I created a new skill called Reachy Meeting Companion that brings Reachy to life with subtle, randomized movements that make it look like an attentive meeting participant without stealing the show. If you see him on one of my many Zoom meetings, make sure you say "Hi!".

What a great way to build with the open source community that exists to build together and for fun.

Introducing Remi 🤖✨

Just shipped the first moves of my stealth project - built on Reachy Mini, the first truly open-source humanoid robot.

Open-source hardware & software means no vendor lock-in. Full control. ROS 2 Humble handles the heavy lifting; modular, scalable, community-backed middleware that powers modern robotics.
​
Reachy Mini's expressive design + ROS 2 ecosystem = the foundation for something awesome.

Can't say more yet, but "Remi" is just getting started.  👀
Interested in collaborating? DM me.

New obsession unlocked: Reachy Mini. 😄🤖

I’m ridiculously excited to start building with this platform. To be honest, I can seriously see this replacing my ChatGPT app habit in the near future.

Right now, I’m diving deep into:

	•	Conversational Behaviors: Making interactions feel natural and fluid.
	•	Memory + Personalization: Building robots that actually remember who you are.
	•	Real-World Demos: Developing practical use cases, like a retail assistant.

Thank you Pollen Robotics and Hugging Face for making this possible!

More updates coming soon! If you’re also building in the Embodied AI space, I’d love to connect and compare notes. 🚀

Incredible moment seeing Reachy Mini featured by Jensen Huang during the NVIDIA CES keynote. It’s humbling to see our product resonate with so many builders and sit at the center of the modern AI stack.

There’s a lot of noise right now around full-scale humanoids. We took a different path: you don’t build a human-sized robot just because everyone else is. You build the right form factor for the right environment.

Reachy Mini is more than a robot. It’s a platform for AI exploration, at an accessible price point.

Huge thanks to the community and the builders who are proving that the future of home AI is open, local, and interactive.

It's fun to see all the tall futuristic humanoid robots but it looks like Reachy Mini is the one taking the spotlight at CES. From a Jensen Keynote to managing a photo-booth, it looks like it's everywhere!

And because it's the only AI robot that can be bought by all (we shipped 3,000 homes just before the end of the year), it has a real shot at becoming the foundation for AI robots in 2026, let's go!

Many who know me personally know that I am an avid DIY enthusiast. I believe this is because I have been writing software since I was a young teenager; therefore, I've always found pleasure in building physical things.

This has always left me with a desire to learn robotics, a field that lets me combine the mental stimulation of writing software and solving complex challenges with the satisfaction of being able to hold, touch and see something I've created.

Today, I am beyond excited to start making this a reality, as my Reachy Mini has arrived.

Watch this space, as I have plenty of ideas about how I can now combine much of the recent work we’ve been doing with AI but now with an added a sense of emotion  and personal interaction.

I finally got my Reachy Mini Wireless from Pollen Robotics and Hugging Face, and I honestly couldn’t wait to open it, assemble it, take photos/videos… and start thinking about what to build next.

It feels a bit like a toy, a bit like a research platform, and a lot like the kind of tech that reminds you why you fell in love with engineering in the first place.

My kids are already circling around it, full of ideas, which means this robot is about to become a family project as much as a personal one.

Huge kudos to Pollen Robotics and Hugging Face for making advanced robotics feel so approachable and playful. And special thanks to Clem Delangue 🤗 this is exactly the kind of ecosystem energy that gets more people excited about building, learning, and experimenting.

Can’t wait to start coding, breaking things, fixing them, and watching ideas come to life over the holidays.

Sometimes the best Christmas gifts aren’t wrapped, they boot up. ✨

Thrilled to share that the new Reachy Mini from Pollen Robotics and Hugging Face has just landed in our Open Innovation Device Lab.

Reachy Mini is a compact, open-source desktop robot built to bring AI out of the screen and into physical interaction. It’s about 28 cm tall, comes as a self-assembly kit, and connects vision, speech, and movement with the latest open-source AI models. It runs Python today, with JavaScript and Scratch support on the way, and ships with more than 15 pre-built behaviours to start experimenting straight away. 

For our team, having Reachy Mini in the lab means we can build and test real examples of how customers might interact with agentic AI in the real world. We’re already thinking about voice interaction, social engagement, and sensor-driven responses that make AI feel more natural and physical.

This kind of hands-on exploration sits right at the heart of my role leading the Open Innovation technology team. We get to roll up our sleeves, play with new technology, and work out where it might fit in customer and colleague experiences.

The Reachy Mini has landed. 🤖

Spent the evening unpacking it with my daughter. My immediate takeaway? AI hits differently when it has a physical presence.

It feels less like using a tool and more like having an interaction. The conversation flows differently when the AI shares your physical space, especially when it surprises you with a "festive mode" greeting.

Spent a bit of time putting it together this afternoon and really enjoyed the process. The instructions were clear, the videos were easy to follow, and everything just worked as expected which isn’t always a given with hardware.

It’s great to see robotics and AI kits becoming more accessible and well thought through.

This feels like it’s going to be solid platform for learning, tinkering, and experimenting with  AI.

Looking forward to digging into it properly over the next few weeks. Thanks to the team at Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics for making the setup painless.

This is Reachy Mini in action! A social robot with a 6-dof head and a pair of animated antennas that give it surprisingly good expressivity. You can customize it by hooking it up to your favorite LLM/VLM stack (via Hugging Face or custom APIs) and teaching it new skills.

Here it’s showing a few of its tricks: talking, displaying different emotions, interacting, and even dancing with the music of the venue.

This demo was running off a laptop. There’s also a wireless version with a Raspberry Pi if you want it fully untethered.

Shoutout to Remi Fabre, Santiago Ismael Pavon, Augustin CRAMPETTE and Steven N’guyen from Pollen Robotics for the great convo and demo. And thanks to Noe Café for letting us plug Reachy in for a few minutes.

One head tilt. One giant leap for lovable AI.
Watch this interaction between Remi Fabre and Reachy Mini. 
I dare you not to smile.

Meet Reachy Mini. 
This desktop robot from Pollen Robotics + Hugging Face sold $500,000 on day one.

Fully open-source. Fully programmable. Fully… charming.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭:
✓ Wins trust through delight
✓ Embodiment that pulls you in
✓ Open, modular and community-powered  
✓ Built for the real world

From code to character,
what if embodiment, community and playfulness are more powerful than IQ? 

That’s what’s changing now.

As for that head tilt, it's the product thesis in motion. 
The kind of move that will shape the next decade of AI products.

Curious. If your product had a “head tilt” moment, what would it be?

Reachy Mini is emotional!

Jul 29, 2025 · 38.7k views · Games & Fun

We’re currently developing a full set of 80+ emotions for Reachy Mini, building on the emotional design work we started with Reachy 2.

To record these emotions, we adapted the no-VR teleoperation setup we previously developed for Reachy 2 (see the post here https://lnkd.in/eRgEZfRK):

    - An HTC Vive tracker controls head movements with 6 degrees of freedom (X, Y, Z, roll, pitch, yaw).

    - A controller manages body and antenna movements separately.

This teleoperation method enables us to create smooth, natural movements that make Reachy Mini’s emotions more lifelike and relatable.

Next step: we’ll combine these emotional expressions with OpenAI’s Realtime API for a live interactive demo — coming soon!

🤖⚽ Robot League is here!

This weekend, I decided to have some fun with an AI coding agent and ended up building a browser game where you can play football as some of our favorite robots.

I paid special attention to making the project easy to modify, so anyone can use an AI agent to add a new robot without having to understand the entire codebase.

Tom Mulder, that friendly football match between MicroDuck and Watti has finally happened - at least in the virtual world! Reachy Mini is the referee, but can also step onto the field and play :)

A big thanks to Pollen Robotics for creating such great open-source robots and making their models available!

🎮 Play here:
https://rl.watti.dev/

The code is open-source, and contributions are very welcome:
https://lnkd.in/dU9ccZSu

Come play a few matches, add your favorite robot, improve the game, or maybe even build a new arena. Who knows where this little robot league might go next?

10 years ago, I was building a tiny robotics startup with my friends Matthieu Lapeyre, Pierre Rouanet and Jonathan Grizou.
We called it Pollen Robotics.
At the time, we had a simple (and maybe slightly crazy) ambition: build robots that people could actually interact with, use, and eventually build on.
Fast forward 10 years.
Pollen Robotics grew into one of the most exciting robotics companies out there, bringing robots like Reachy 2, Reachy Mini, and Microduck to life.
Then, Pollen became part of Hugging Face.
And today, Hugging Face announced that it will join forces with NVIDIA in a $12.93B acquisition. 
🤯
Looking at that journey from where we started, it’s hard not to feel a little emotional.
From a small workshop, a few friends, and a crazy idea about open robotics…
…to being part of a company that is now shaping the future of #AI and #robotics at global scale.
What a ride. 🚀🤗🦆
And somehow, there are still robots on the table. ❤️

Meet Reachy Mini, a new $399 open-source robot from Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics. 🤖
Standing at just 25 cm tall, this little robot packs 15 actuators, a camera, LiDAR, and multiple sensors into a surprisingly compact body.
It can walk, sit, pick up objects, recover after falling, and even roller-skate. 🛼
But the most exciting part? You can actually train it yourself using reinforcement learning, giving developers and researchers the opportunity to experiment, customize, and teach the robot new behaviors.
And clearly, people are interested.
Reachy Mini crossed $1 million in sales in less than 7 hours. 🚀
If robots like this are already becoming accessible to individuals and developers, it raises an interesting question:
How many intelligent, programmable robots will we have around our homes in the next few years?
The era of personal robotics may be arriving sooner than we think. 🤖🏠

A Robot - Reachy Mini ?! Have you ever heard of it?  🦾
I had a great time getting hands-on and assembling the Reachy Mini prototype. Hardware is where I thrive, and it was incredibly fun to physically bring this robot to life! 🔧
While I handled the mechanics and assembly, Davronbek Achilov has been driving the software brain. He is currently building out the agentic logic in Rust and integrating MCP tools, Web Search, TTS, ASR, VAD, LLMs, and Wake-up models. 🧠
Hardware insight: We successfully tested the VAD and Wake-up models locally on the robot's Raspberry Pi. It handles those perfectly, though it will definitely need a bit more compute power for the heavier language models! ⚡
Our first milestone? We've set it up as a smart voice assistant, and connected to Yandex Music for listening to music and trained to act as a personal AI tutor, helping our daughter practice her German. 🇩🇪
We will be sharing a video of the real-world results soon! Stay Tuned!

Day 1 of vacation: I built a robot. 🤖

After a long trip to Tasmania in April, I decided this summer vacation would be different — no flights, no packing, no itinerary. Just staying home and building something fun. 🫣

And honestly? There’s something so peaceful about it. 3 hours of tiny screws and cables, completely focused, phone away. I compressed it all into a 1.5-minute video, even so much fun to each the busy me 🤭.

Meet Reachy Mini, an open-source robot from Hugging Face x Pollen Robotics. It runs on Python, so the real fun starts now: teaching it to actually do things. 💻
Turns out my idea of rest is a desk full of robot parts. 😄
What should I teach it first? 👇

Had loads fun ​spending the short break with my daughters assembling the multi-jointed desktop robot from Pollen robotics and Hugging Face. Hands-on, local building strips away the fear factor of advanced AI. When you let kids wire the joints and troubleshoot local workflows, they understand it.

We had to take the effort to import one of the first few Reachy Mini kits into India wasn't just about getting a piece of new hardware. It was a deliberate experiment in education to lower the barrier and kindle their interest! 

Now the big question! What do we call it?

It finally arrived! 🎉 🤖📦
A couple of months ago I pre-ordered the Reachy Mini Wireless — the open-source desktop robot from Hugging Face 🤗 and Pollen Robotics — and today it finally landed on my desk in Vancouver.
 
Full transparency: it comes as a kit, and I'm not 100% sure I'll assemble it correctly (or how long it'll take me 😅). But that's exactly the point — this little robot was built to make AI and robotics hands-on, approachable, and fun. Camera, mics, expressive antennas, and fully programmable in Python. 🐍
 
Next steps:  🔧 Assemble it (wish me luck)  🧠 Connect it to an LLM and see what it can do  📹 Share the journey — wins, fails, and everything in between
 
If you've been curious about embodied AI, this is one of the most accessible entry points I've seen. Clem Delangue 🤗 
 
Anyone else building one? Drop your assembly tips below! 👇 I will come back to share what I build soon...

After a long wait, Reachy Mini has finally arrived in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦🤖

It is still packed in the box, but the excitement is real.

I have been looking forward to experimenting with this little robot and exploring what can be built around AI, robotics, micro payments, education, and human-machine interaction.

Welcome to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, Reachy Mini.

And to my friends and family: please don’t mind if I’m a bit slow to respond over the next few weeks. I may be busy coding, testing, breaking things, fixing them… and quietly enjoying the chaos.

Oh yesssss… let the experiments begin. 🤖

🎅 😂 
I have learned so much already on robotic AI just in the past a couple of weeks.

I suddenly realized, why Reachy Mini might be one of the best tools in the world for learning AI: It is not just a robot. It is a full learning journey.

You build the robot from the ground up, which means you get hands-on experience with hardware, circuit boards, processors, and how everything connects.

Then you go deeper into AI:
LLMs, vision models, open-source models, Hugging Face, Python, robotics, and real-world interaction between software and hardware.

This is the kind of Christmas gift that could inspire a kid to become an engineer, builder, or AI researcher.

Honestly, if I were a kid, I would be wishing so badly and praying to Santa for a robot friend like Reachy.

AI is exciting.
Robots make it feel real.

⚡ Amazon Nova 2 Lite — Fast, cost-effective reasoning model for most everyday tasks

Physical AI is where things get really exciting — moving beyond screens and APIs into robots that can see, speak, and interact in the real world. Combining expressive hardware like Reachy Mini with cloud AI on Bedrock is a great way to start exploring this space.

About a month ago, one of the motors on my Reachy Mini beta unit failed, so I had to order some replacements. Only problem was that there were none in stock and it would be three weeks at a minimum before they could ship.

So I took advantage of the downtime and gave my Reachy a new livery that I’m calling ‘Retro Cyanide’.

I also had some time to play around with some equipment that I hadn’t done anything with in a few months and now my robot runs on gameboy.

This is Reachy Mini, a new desktop robot made by French startup Pollen Robotics (which is now part of AI platform Hugging Face).

As opposed to most other consumer robots, Reachy is fully open source. There are two editions, and the more powerful one runs on a Raspberry Pi 4, which gives it a lot of flexibility. Users can fully program and configure Reachy in any way they like. 

Reachy doesn’t come as a complete product, but has to be assembled from a kit. I did this with my kids in just over two hours, and it was a lot of fun -- kind of a complicated IKEA project for technically inclined people.

The robot has a head that is controlled by six motors and therefore can move in a lot of ways. It can also rotate its body. There are two cameras, microphones and a loudspeaker, so you can interact with Reachy visually and through voice.

As of now, Reachy’s software is still quite experimental. You can install a few apps straight from Hugging Face, but functionality is somewhat limited. But that’s kind of the point: Reachy is designed for tinkering and development. It’s an explorative, hackable device that is wide open for experimentation.

And this gives you a lot of freedom to add any capability you want. For example, I didn’t like that the current voice conversation app doesn’t have web access. So I cloned it, asked OpenAI’s Codex coding agent to add Internet search, and after a few minutes Reachy was able to search the web for me. 

Let me repeat that: I used an AI agent to teach an AI‑enabled robot to provide voice-controlled access to the world’s information. This would have sounded like science-fiction a while ago, now it’s something you can just do.

You can configure all kinds of aspects of Reachy’s behavior. For example, I told it to strictly use Gen Z and Gen Alpha slang (mostly to annoy my kids), and now it talks like an overstimulated 12-year-old. But a different personality is just a few clicks away.

So what is this kind of robot good for? Right now it’s of course primarily an educational toy, but an incredibly sophisticated one. I’m sure developers will find many interesting things to do with it. 

It’s great that it’s so fully open and hackable. Past attempts at consumer robots suffered from closed platforms. For example, I used to own a Jibo social robot (link in the comments), and when that company went out of business, the robot stopped working because it depended on a proprietary cloud service. This can’t happen to Reachy.

This illustrates the importance of openness in AI and beyond. Reachy owners have complete control over their data, the AI models they use, and the functionality they allow or prevent. They truly own the product, rather than merely renting it. Hopefully, we'll see more of this in the AI industry.

This can’t happen to Reachy. This illustrates the importance of openness in AI and beyond. Reachy owners have complete control over their data, the AI models they use, and the functionality they allow or prevent. They truly own the product, rather than merely renting it. Hopefully, we'll see more of this in the AI industry.

2h30 de montage plus tard… Reachy mini prend vie ! 🤖✨

Je viens de terminer l'assemblage du dernier-né de chez Pollen Robotics, et le résultat est impressionnant. En seulement quelques heures, on passe d'un kit de pièces à un robot fonctionnel, prêt à interagir.

Ce qui me bluffe déjà :
✅ La fluidité : On peut le contrôler, lui faire suivre des mouvements ou coder des réactions très simplement.
✅ L'intelligence embarquée : L'intégration directe de ChatGPT change la donne. Le robot ne se contente plus de bouger ; il discute, répond aux questions et "comprend" ce qu'il voit via sa caméra.

C'est fascinant de voir à quel point la barrière entre l'IA générative et le monde physique s'amincit. Hâte d'explorer toutes les possibilités de développement avec ce nouveau compagnon de bureau !

Bravo aux équipes de Pollen Robotics et Hugging Face  pour cette prouesse d'ergonomie et d'accessibilité. 👏 | 11 comments on LinkedIn

Tonight I had the pleasure of building a sweet little Robot friend! Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics cooked on what felt like a LEGO kit for adults.

From Pollen's website: Reachy Mini is the first open-source desktop robot designed to explore human-robot interaction, and creative custom applications.

For me, it's just a fun way to familiarize myself with some of the concepts and code that deals with simple robotics, I've been primarily a software guy in the last 5 years, so it'll be fun to dive a bit back into the Raspberry Pi world.

The whole build took about ~1hr., and was surprisingly idiot proof (and I got to use my dope NVIDIA ruler to make sure I was using the right motor cables).

At the end of the process - I had a dancing robot pal hooked up to OpenAI's voice API!

What should I make it do first?!

Assembling a physical edge endpoint for a robot-in-the-loop AI reference design.

This Hugging Face Pollen Robotics Reachy Mini build is part of a broader effort to understand how physical edge systems interact with production-ready inference backends, specifically how latency, reliability, and observability shape user experience.

The robot itself is intentionally simple. The real work is in the system around it: edge-side control, clean API boundaries, and treating inference as a service rather than an assumption.

This video shows the assembly of the physical endpoint. Next step is wiring it into a latency-aware control loop backed by a production-grade inference service.

Clem Delangue 🤗 your Reachy Mini is already a hit in our house.

Started assembling it with my 8-year-old daughter this morning. The instructions say it takes 3 hours, she immediately took that as a challenge to beat. Start the clock!? ⏲️ 😂

I had to physically tear her away to get to school. "Just one more step!" - starting to sound oddly familiar 😅

There's something special about seeing the same spark in her that got me into tech in the first place. Can't wait to finish it together.

Adding tactile sensors to Reachy Mini so I could pet it was so exciting!

It gave me a new appreciation for how expressive living creatures are, I actually had to think about how I wanted Reachy Mini to react to touch.

Surface force detection in a tactile skin format feels like a huge step toward richer human–robot interaction, whether for social behaviors or safety and collision detection.

The possibilities for Loomia’s flexible sensors on Reachy Mini are endless. Huge thanks to the Pollen Robotics team for letting us play and experiment!


This was all done with LOOMIA’s flexible sensors + a simple Python script controlling Reachy Mini’s motion, more tinkering to come 👀

Here's a sneak peek of Reachy Mini's conversation capabilities!
In this video, I have an unscripted chat with the robot. We talk about life, football, and our favorite Pokémon.

We're designing Reachy Mini to be a truly interactive, open-source platform. Here's what we're focusing on:
- Responsive Interaction: Reachy has a 4-microphone array with echo cancellation. This means he can hear you clearly—even while he's speaking.
- Multimodal Understanding: He doesn't just hear; he sees. Notice how he describes me holding the phone? That's his built-in vision in action.
- Engaging Personality: Interacting with a robot shouldn't feel like using a portable encyclopedia. We're building Reachy to be fun and witty.
- Seamlessly Multilingual: He switches between English, Spanish, and French on the fly. (We're... still working on his French accent, as you'll hear! 😉)
- Out-of-the-Box Ready: We want to ship a robot that's ready for you to hack from the moment you unbox it. You should be able to start building and creating right away, not spend weeks on setup.

Reachy Mini will start shipping very soon. If you've already ordered yours, you can get a head start by checking out our open repositories.

And if you haven't? The version I'm demoing here costs just $300 USD (+ taxes).

We can't wait to see what you build with it.

I finally got to take a Reachy Mini home to experiment!

A few technical notes:
The head has 9 degrees of freedom (DoF) in total (including the antennas), which is a surprisingly large space to play in for a head. I was impressed by how dynamic the movements can be; I honestly expected the head to be heavier and for rapid movements to just fail :)

I'm currently building a basic library that uses oscillations to create a set of simple, core movements (tilts, turns, wiggles, etc.). The goal is to easily combine these "atomic moves" to generate more complex and expressive movements. The video shows some of my early tests to see what works and what doesn't.

Next steps:
I'm also working on an experimental feature that listens to external music and tries to synchronize the robot's movements to the beat (the super synchronized head twitch at the end of the video was pure luck). I hope to share that functionality soon (frequency detection works but phase alignment is harder than I thought).
My core interest is exploring how to use motion to express emotions and create a connection with people. I believe this is critical for the future acceptance of robots. It's a challenging problem, full of subjectivity and even cultural considerations, but having a cute robot definitely helps! Other tools like teleoperation and Blender also look like promising ways to design motions.

The next big goal is to reproduce what we did with the larger Reachy2: connect the robot to an LLM (or VLM) so you can talk to it and have it react with context-aware emotions.

Next steps: I'm also working on an experimental feature that listens to external music and tries to synchronize the robot's movements to the beat (the super synchronized head twitch at the end of the video was pure luck). I hope to share that functionality soon (frequency detection works but phase alignment is harder than I thought). My core interest is exploring how to use motion to express emotions and create a connection with people. I believe this is critical for the future acceptance of robots. It's a challenging problem, full of subjectivity and even cultural considerations, but having a cute robot definitely helps! Other tools like teleoperation and Blender also look like promising ways to design motions. The next big goal is to reproduce what we did with the larger Reachy2: connect the robot to an LLM (or VLM) so you can talk to it and have it react with context-aware emotions. I'd love to hear your thoughts! | 62 comments on LinkedIn

Hugging Face, in partnership with Pollen Robotics, has introduced Reachy Mini, a compact, desktop-sized robot built for AI research, education, and creative coding. Now available for global pre-order, it comes in two versions: Lite at $299 and a wireless version at $449. The first batch is expected to ship post-summer 2025, according to Hugging Face co-founder and chief science officer Thomas Wolf.

Designed with developers, hobbyists, and educators in mind, Reachy Mini allows programming in Python and includes motorised features, AV interaction capabilities, and a wide-angle camera. The wireless version comes equipped with a Raspberry Pi 5, four microphones, and a battery, while the Lite version supports Mac and Linux.

Hugging Face highlighted that the robot is being released “as-is” to invite feedback from early adopters and foster collaborative development. With over 15 preloaded behaviours accessible via the Hugging Face hub and future support for JavaScript and Scratch, Reachy Mini aims to become a hands-on AI companion for learning and innovation.

Its open-source design and modular assembly promote transparency, enabling users to test behaviours in real-world settings or simulations, and join Hugging Face’s 10 million+ community to evolve its capabilities together.

We made a robot.

It's called Reachy Mini.

And we’re really proud of it.

It’s tiny, open-source, affordable, made to learn, build, code, mess around, and share.

For students, devs, researchers, artists, curious minds.
For classrooms, labs, bedrooms.

It runs Hugging Face models. It moves, sees, listens, speaks.
It’s not perfect — but it’s real. And it’s just the beginning.

We built it with love, with community in mind, and with a simple goal: Make robotics and AI more accessible to everyone.

Reachy Mini is alive. Well, the body is.

Spent the last few days building Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics open source robot with Bhuvnesh Sharma. The head sits on a Stewart platform, six little linkages pushing it around, with a Raspberry Pi  camera threaded up the middle. Tiny robot. Absurdly fiddly build.

Hardware is done. Now comes the software, which is the part I actually signed up for.

We filmed the whole thing, screwups included, and the videos are going up on YouTube soon. If you have ever wondered what it looks like to attach the same linkage three times because you keep getting the orientation wrong, we have footage.

Buy the kit, open the box, break something, figure out why. Still the best way I know to learn anything.

More soon.

I came for two tiny robots here, being ridiculously cute.

Reachy Mini is built around interaction. It sees, listens, speaks, and gives builders a platform for conversational AI, vision, and expressive movement.

Microduck is built around action. Its movements are trained in simulation, transferred to real hardware, and can be retrained and shared by the community.

One explores how AI communicates. The other explores how AI moves.

Both give builders open software and a practical way to experiment with physical AI without needing a full robotics lab.

Also, yes, these are the droids we are looking for!

Summoning a cute robot 🪄 I had so much fun building Reachy Mini piece by piece. The robot feels really personal because I got to build it! 15-year-old me would be shocked, she rejected the optional coding/robotics class in favor of graphic design and said “who’s gonna code?” because she wanted to be an architect. Funny how interests change, now I build AI. 

I joined the community and started building and contributing back in winter out of pure curiosity, and it's turned into one of the best communities I've been part of. Everyone is very helpful, welcoming, and excited about it. Super thankful to Tom Mulder for kindly sending one my way personally! Now having physical hardware on my desk, I'm going to experiment more. Grateful to be a small part of what Pollen Robotics and Hugging Face are building here 🤗

A fun weekend experiment combining Cortex AI, robotics, and  data.

I deployed the Snowflake Cortex Code SDK on a Raspberry Pi–powered Reachy Mini and connected it to Cortex Agents. The agents can access a sample business database and use custom tools to retrieve real-time information from the web.

The best part was watching my son interact with the robot using natural language. The attached video captures his first experience discovering what it could do.

It was a simple prototype, but it demonstrated how seamlessly robotics can connect with enterprise data and real-time information through a conversational interface.

My next step is to test more proactive experiences such as having the robot announce Snowflake alerts, important metric changes, and other business events that require attention.

A small experiment that helped bring conversational AI beyond the screen and into a physical, interactive experience.

Today we're launching Langy: the AI engineer inside LangWatch.

Agents are doing legal, health, and financial work now. But the engineers building them aren't lawyers, doctors, or bankers. The domain experts are. And until now, their contributions died in a backlog.

Langy changes who gets to improve the agent. It's a Claude Code experience for the people who actually know what it's supposed to do. They describe the change in plain language. What lands is a pull request, with tests, best practices included. Reviewed by your engineers, or it doesn't merge.

If you're an AI engineer, this is more power for you too. Your coworkers can experiment on the agent without pulling you off the hard problems. Their work arrives fully tested, and nothing ships until you've approved it.

To celebrate, we gave Langy a robot body. It's now our official mascot, a Reachy Mini from Hugging Face. 

In the video, we plugged it in over MCP and asked it to test our customer-support voice agent. It wrote the test plan and kicked off the simulations itself.

Don't have a robot at home? ;) Run Langy locally, or inside LangWatch.

We'll be dropping videos and tutorials coming weeks.

Last week I admitted I was jittery about this one. Thousands of people, live demos, nothing pre-recorded. What could possibly go wrong?

Almost nothing, as it turns out.

Yesterday morning I delivered a masterclass on becoming AI-native, on behalf of Imperial Executive & Professional Education and Corndel. The argument: the winners will not be the people with the cleverest prompts. They will be the people, and the organisations, who redesign the work itself around humans and #AI together.

Then I stopped making the argument and let a robot make it for me.

For the final demo, Relay, my #agent, ran inside Reachy Mini (by Pollen Robotics) and published a brand new video to YouTube. It wrote the title, the description and the tags, then we published it in front of everyone.

And then we refreshed the page. Nothing. Refreshed again. Still nothing. So we moved on.

It was there a few minutes later. The agent had done its job on cue. The only thing keeping us waiting was YouTube catching up with itself.

Which is its own lesson. When these systems wobble in the wild, it is less and less likely the agent. It is the world around the agent.

The video below is the one it published.

That is the shift worth your attention. Not AI as a tool you prompt and then go back to work. AI as a colleague with context, memory, access to tools, and the judgement to hand control back to you at the right moment.

Thank you to everyone who joined. Favourite comment of the day: someone now wants a Reachy Mini of their own, so they can have a physical AI assistant.

Stay restless!

I wired a Reachy Mini ( Pollen Robotics )into MidBrain AI so it could keep its memory across sessions. Then I plugged the same memory layer into Hermes and my XR agent.

Was really interesting, to see that the moment memory left the body and became its own layer, the bodies stopped mattering. The robot, the avatar, the chat agent: same entity, showing up in different hardware. Each one picked up where the last left off -same context, same preferences, same history of me.

I stopped thinking of them as three agents. It's one, wearing three shells.

Multi-embodiment isn't a robotics problem. It's a memory problem.

The body is just where the agent shows up. Continuity lives in the layer underneath.

Reachy Mini just got a new Brain!
We released a fully open-source backend for talking to Reachy Mini. In the last 48 hours, 3,000+ robots have already hit the version deployed on Hugging Face's infra.

Until today, if you wanted a real-time voice agent in your robot, you were looking at $20+ a day. Realtime APIs are expensive because every second the connection is up, you are being charged! But with our approach, you can run the audio models locally and use your OpenAI or Claude subscription for the LLM, at no extra costs. The audio pipeline is very efficient; in the video, it's running on the cheapest Mac mini, 16GB of RAM (the one that sold out a couple of months back when people were buying them up for openclaws setups).

Tutorials coming in the next few weeks: how to run your robot fully locally, or with your favorite agent. Stay tuned!

Robotics used to be complex. A playground for PhDs only.

But things are changing fast lately.

It’s now affordable enough to have a real robot at home, and simple enough to make it do new things.

With Reachy Mini, you can vibe-code a new robot application in minutes, run it on a real robot, then share it, fork it, and improve it.

It’s open source, built on the Hugging Face Hub, and designed to be as accessible as possible.

Go create weird robot behaviors.
Go share them.

Feels like the beginning of a new moment in robotics.

Everyone’s asking what Reachy Mini is. But no one’s asking how Reachy Mini is 😢

So we did.

Last week we installed Ember on the robot and gave it visibility into its own health (motor temps, CPU load, connectivity, process state, etc.).

We let it run through the day and had it track CPU spikes, recovery events, and connection drops. Later, we pulled up specific incidents to see a structured explanation of what actually happened.

Having the robot self-diagnose looks fun but this isn’t about blindly setting an LLM loose on the logs. It’s about capturing deterministic, time-aligned incidents with enough context so you’re not guessing from graphs after the fact.

Raw metrics show spikes, structure shows patterns and behavior.

Here’s a snippet of Reachy explaining itself 👇

“Magic is just spending more time on something than anyone might reasonably expect” - Teller 

Barely an idea in October, I shipped Reachy Mini's first third-party hardware integration in January: a small USB device that adds programmatically controllable light up eyes 👀

Not long ago it would have taken more time just to build the library, and probably years to cover all related territory, but this project includes: 
- Engineered electrical circuit and BOM
- Layout and design within limited physical constraints 
- Multiple iterations of complex CAD models
- 3D printing and device fabrication
- Custom source-compiled firmware
- Simplified hardware abstraction layer
- Sub-licensed silicon (Thank you Gordon and Raspberry Pi!) 
- Website for pre-orders (Vibed with Lovable)
- A deeper appreciation for product packaging (Kyle Wente from EcoEnclose you are a rock star)

The first batch is a small scale run, but users are installing my #ReachyMini Robot Eyes module in three continents this week 🌎

The hardest part has been recognizing 'enough' and holding back from doing everything I wanted to do. This has been an exercise in restraint and finding balance between progress and perfection. There are so many things I would have liked to improve... and could.

While Steve Jobs' "disease of thinking the idea is 90% of the work" still holds true, this project is living proof that the gap from idea to success has collapsed. Make no mistake, I put in serious time to get this across the line, but the effort pales in comparison to what it would have taken to overcome challenges across multiple domains in previous years.

Spent some time last week building Judgy Reachy app for the cutest open-sourced robot Reachy Mini🤖. It was all over my feed and it increased after CES. So, I wanted to give it a try. I don’t own a Reachy Mini (yet👀) but I was able to try it on their SDK which also has a robot simulation mode. Thanks to Pollen Robotics and Hugging Face for making this accessible for everyone and open source. I’ve been wanting to have a robot interface for a while to actually see the code in action. 

Meet Judgy Reachy — it watches you, catches you scrolling on your phone, and gives you a funny shaming response depending on its mood for your phone addiction :) 

My personal favorite reaction: “What’s wrong with you today?”🥲 (emotional damage)
 
What I used:
YOLO26 nano — the newest model from Ultralytics (just released!) for real-time phone detection
Groq API — Llama 3.1-8b-instant model by AI at Meta for LLM that generates 8 unique personalities (plus a 9th “Pure Reachy” mode using Pollen Robotics’ pre-written emotions and movements library/dataset)
ElevenLabs — for giving each personality more realistic voice 

Everything is fully customizable. You can swap voice IDs, generate your own from ElevenLabs, or just skip API and use the default Edge TTS and pre-written lines for a simpler setup. 

Since I was only able to test it with simulation, if you have the physical robot and want to test this out, I’d love to hear if it works! 

Side note: While working on this project, it led to my first ever open source contribution! My PR got merged to the Reachy Mini SDK and visible on their latest version release v1.2.13. Just a small milestone but it felt pretty great.

Edit: Also heard that there is a GTC contest #NVIDIAGTC for the Reachy Mini community apps👀 (winner is the most liked app on Hugging Face Space!).

🤖 I taught Reachy to look at food and talk about it
This week I built a SeeFood app ( ❤️ Silicon Valley 📺 haha) for Reachy Mini — a tiny robot that can now see, think, and speak about what’s on your plate.

Here’s what happens when you upload a food photo:
📸 You drop an image
🧠 A Vision Transformer (ViT) (trained by me on the Food101 dataset using an RTX 4060) figures out what it is
📊 The prediction is sent back
🗣️ Text-to-speech kicks in
🤖 Reachy Mini happily nods its head and tells you:
“I see pizza… and it has about 300 calories 🍕”
This builds on my Food Vision project on Hugging Face Spaces:
https://lnkd.in/gD8GF8Ry
The fun part? This is all running in a Reachy Mini simulation right now — but the real robot is on its way. Soon it won’t just look at pixels… it’ll look at real food on a table and talk about it in real life

Big thanks to:
Clem Delangue 🤗, Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics for making Reachy open-source
Daniel Bourke for the Food Vision project that sparked this idea
AI is cool… but AI in a robot is way cooler.

This holiday season was a little different. We turned our living room into a robotics lab. 🤖🔧

Me and my wife (Mrunaya Shinde) spent the break assembling the Reachy Mini from Pollen Robotics and Hugging Face. If you haven't seen it, it's an incredible open-source bio-inspired robot platform. There’s something deeply satisfying about snapping components together and seeing a personality emerge from a pile of parts. 
But once it was built, the developer in me couldn't just sit there.

Reachy is native to Python, but I wanted to bring it into my world. So, while "playing" with it, I ended up writing a custom .NET SDK for it. [Link in the comment]

Once the SDK was live, I couldn't resist giving it a real brain. I wired up a sample application to #Azure OpenAI. Now, it’s not just moving; it’s understanding, processing, and reacting with the power of GPT5. Still it is in works, and more interesting projects are planned.

Coming soon:

🤖💻 My Reachy Mini has become a developer robot

I recently evolved my reachy_mini_conversation_app project far beyond a simple robot conversation application.

Today, my Reachy Mini embodies a true developer assistant, with a strong technical personality called Linus.

A pragmatic profile focused on code quality, deep project understanding, and generating real solutions, not just isolated code snippets.

In practice, I can now talk to Reachy like a teammate and ask it to:
- add a new feature
- fix or refactor code
- explain an architecture
- or even code while I am cooking

Reachy listens, reasons, generates, and responds out loud, taking the full project context, style, and constraints into account.

What started as a real time conversational interface with a robot has become a hands free development experience, where AI is no longer just a tool but an active partner in the development workflow.
A different way to explore human AI collaboration.

Just built a Reachy Mini robot. Powered it on. Motors missing.

The challenge with robot assembly: every step depends on the previous one, no way to test intermediate stages. You just hope it works at the end.

Linux gave me a specific error pointing to motor IDs 11, 12, 13 not responding. Three consecutive IDs = likely one loose connection, not three separate failures.

But which physical motors are these?

Used Google's Codewiki to search the codebase, found the motor enum mappings, and identified these as stewart platform motors. Opened just that section, found the loose connector, fixed it. (scan_motors.py [https://lnkd.in/gbaE3F29] to get the motor id mapping if anyone is looking )

Last weekend my Reachy Mini broke. Pre AI I would’ve been screwed. There is no robot repairman on call during the holidays.

Fortunately, Reachy is designed for that. Some people complain about it but we make you assemble it, we keep it open source, and it uses mostly standard parts so that you can fix it, mod it, and truly own it! With Cursor as copilot I opened it up, debugged, and got it working again, all while learning and having fun at the same time!
 
People talk a lot (too much?) about AI agency but the truth is that AI & open-source are giving us more human agency than we ever had. Everyone can be a part time builder, not just a user and that’s terribly exciting! | 45 comments on LinkedIn

Spent the last few days playing with the available apps for Reachy Mini and found my favorite to be the conversation app (https://lnkd.in/gt8Gw3Vd) . We tested it at a Christmas party and it can easily switch between English, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and even Tagalog. This app uses GPT realtime model and the response was fast enough for the conversation to be flowing. I then tested running the reachy_mini_conversation_app from the latest source, but ran into several issues (which I later resolved). I created a diagnostic app to help me diagnose hardware and connection issues (video feed, motor, speaker, mic). https://lnkd.in/gCz3w6BC Hope it will be of help to others. #reachymini #robotics

Finally! Reachy Mini arrived! I think I got one of the earliest units being shipped. If I am correct roughly first 3000 units. Can’t wait to tinker around with this and see what we can do at our ACM student chapter! 
We don’t know the exact implementation yet but we are hoping to build our own LLM prototype (we are making a good progress shoutout to our SET team!) and use it with Reachy Mini.

Attaching a multimodal LLM to Reachy Mini goes really hard 🤖 You can try this at home!

We added a few simple profiles (prompts) to get started, and I’m really curious to see what people come up with.
There’s no clean sharing mechanism yet, so for now just ping me with what you’ve tried and I’ll add the best ones to the official list.

One angle I personally really like: using it as a teacher for kids. Infinite patience, and a very large knowledge base across many topics.

This is the Conversation App. You can install it directly from your Reachy Mini dashboard. It even works if you don’t own the robot (yet).
Docs and installation:

Normally, you need to create your own OpenAI API key to use the GPT-realtime API…
 but if you own a Reachy Mini, you might have a nice surprise from Hugging Face 👀

Here's a sneak peek of Reachy Mini's conversation capabilities!
In this video, I have an unscripted chat with the robot. We talk about life, football, and our favorite Pokémon.

We're designing Reachy Mini to be a truly interactive, open-source platform. Here's what we're focusing on:
- Responsive Interaction: Reachy has a 4-microphone array with echo cancellation. This means he can hear you clearly—even while he's speaking.
- Multimodal Understanding: He doesn't just hear; he sees. Notice how he describes me holding the phone? That's his built-in vision in action.
- Engaging Personality: Interacting with a robot shouldn't feel like using a portable encyclopedia. We're building Reachy to be fun and witty.
- Seamlessly Multilingual: He switches between English, Spanish, and French on the fly. (We're... still working on his French accent, as you'll hear! 😉)
- Out-of-the-Box Ready: We want to ship a robot that's ready for you to hack from the moment you unbox it. You should be able to start building and creating right away, not spend weeks on setup.

Reachy Mini will start shipping very soon. If you've already ordered yours, you can get a head start by checking out our open repositories.

And if you haven't? The version I'm demoing here costs just $300 USD (+ taxes).

We can't wait to see what you build with it. | 110 comments on LinkedIn

Hands-on with Reachy Mini as part of the beta.
Over the last few days we have been exploring the fully open‑source SDK from Pollen Robotics and Hugging Face. It ships with a MuJoCo simulator from Google DeepMind, so you can start building without hardware and plug in your favorite ML model or LLM.

Our hardware unit arrives this week. 
An integrated Raspberry Pi option is planned in the next few months.

I will share experiments, tips, and code as we go.

Excited to announce Hugging Face’s first-ever open-source robot, Reachy Mini 🤖, will be at the upcoming 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐀𝐈 𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 in Barcelona and San Francisco! Before anyone else in the world, you will be among the first hackers who’ll get hands-on with Reachy Mini!

Reachy Mini is fully programmable and hackable, equipped with multimodal sensing and expressive movement — built to integrate LLMs, open-source models, and pre-trained CV models.

Thanks to Hugging Face’s 10M+ community and open integrations, this kicks off SensAI Hackademy first major step into 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧-𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭 (𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞) 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 under one roof of frontier hacking.

And here’s the best part 👇
This isn’t just an open source robot - it’s a community-driven ecosystem.
You can upload, share, and download new robot behaviors (on top of 15+ ready-to-use ones) with the Reachy Mini community.

With an intuitive open-source Python SDK (and more languages coming soon) + a simulation SDK, any XR, CV, AI, or mobile developer can build, test, and deploy or integrate to a wearable tech stack!

Huge thanks to Remi Fabre from Pollen Robotics and Thomas Wolf from Hugging Face along with our hack partners Meta and Unity for supporting our mission to create cross-functional projects with XR, CV and Robotics hackers. 🙏

New skills for Reachy Mini! This is the same version that went on stage at TEDAI Vienna with improv comedians

New capabilities since the last video:
1) Image analysis: Reachy Mini can now look at a photo it just took and describe or reason about it
2) Face tracking: keeps eye contact and makes interactions feel much more natural
3) Motion fusion: [head wobble while speaking] + [face tracking] + [emotions or dances] can now run simultaneously
4) Face recognition: runs locally
5) Autonomous behaviors when idle: when nothing happens for a while, the model can decide to trigger context-based behaviors

This demo runs on GPT-4o-realtime, freshly updated with faster and smarter responses.

Questions for the community:
• Earlier versions used flute sounds when playing emotions. This one speaks instead (for example the "olala" at the start is an emotion + voice). It completely changes how I perceive the robot. Should we keep a toggle to switch between voice and flute sounds?
• How do the response delays feel to you?

Some limitations:
- No memory system yet
- No voice recognition yet
- Strategy in crowds still unclear: the VAD (voice activity detection) tends to activate too often, and we don’t like the keyword approach

The first robots should start shipping soon!
