Hugging Face HopeJR

Hugging Face's 2025 open-source full-size humanoid robot, with 66 degrees of freedom and a roughly $3,000 price target.

HopeJR is an open-source full-size humanoid robot that Hugging Face unveiled in late May 2025, announced alongside its Reachy Mini desktop robot. It came about a month after Hugging Face acquired the French humanoid robotics company Pollen Robotics. HopeJR has 66 actuated degrees of freedom, can walk and move both arms, and is expected to sell for around US$3,000, with its hardware design released as open source. It's part of Hugging Face's open-robotics push built around its LeRobot software stack; the goal is to bring humanoid hardware down to a price ordinary labs and individual developers can afford, so more people can reproduce it, modify it, and collect their own data with it.
