A few-hundred-dollar open-source desktop robot from Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics.

Reachy Mini is an open-source desktop robot that Hugging Face and its newly acquired Pollen Robotics launched in July 2025. It stands about 28 cm tall, weighs about 1.5 kg, and is sold as a kit that the buyer assembles. It has no arms — just a 6-degree-of-freedom head, a body that can rotate as a whole, and two moving antennas, along with a wide-angle camera, four microphones, and a speaker, mainly for expressive, conversational human-robot-interaction AI applications. It comes in two versions: a Lite edition that must stay tethered to a computer, and a wireless edition with its own Raspberry Pi, Wi-Fi, and battery. At launch it was priced from $299 (Lite) and $449 (wireless); the current prices listed on Pollen's site are $399 and $499. It's programmed through an open-source Python SDK, and finished applications can be shared on Hugging Face.
