Why it’s interesting
An open desktop robot from Pollen Robotics and Hugging Face with a camera, four microphones, a speaker, and a movable head and antennas. Program it with Python or JavaScript, or try community apps that combine vision, voice, and motion.
Code stops feeling abstract when it can nod, turn, track you, and wiggle its antennas. You can prototype in the simulator first, then watch the same behavior inhabit a physical character.
How to try it
Start with the official announcement and simulator. Before ordering, compare the Lite and Wireless versions and confirm assembly requirements, computer or Wi-Fi needs, shipping, and import availability for your region.
Use the official page or demonstration as the current reference. Do not assume that a staged installation, limited experiment, account-gated demo, subscription feature, or physical product is available everywhere.
Requirements and sources
This entry credits Pollen Robotics × Hugging Face and keeps “Reachy Mini” as the original title. It is paid for the full experience and requires the physical device or installation. Pricing, access, regional availability, accounts, hardware, and service support can change, so verify them on the [first-party source](https://pollen-robotics.com/reachy-mini/blog/reachy-mini-announcement/) before trying or buying. The description stays within the documented AI role and does not treat promotional claims as independent testing.
