Hugging Face’s Reachy Mini is an open-source AI robot for your computer or Raspberry Pi CM4

Reachy Mini

Better known for its artificial intelligence software solutions, Hugging Face unveiled the Reachy Mini open-source desktop robot last year. It is designed to deploy AI applications that interface with the physical world. The robot features a camera, four microphones, and a speaker, and can move its 6 DoF (degrees of freedom) head, rotate its body, or wave its antennas thanks to nine servo motors. Two versions are available: the Reachy Mini Lite designed for computers running Mac, Linux, and Windows, and the Reachy Mini Wireless autonomous robot, powered by a Raspberry Pi CM4, adding WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, an accelerometer, and battery support. Both models share most of the same specifications: Reachy Mini’s SDK can be found on GitHub. It’s based on Python, but also supports JavaScript and Web apps, and can integrate with LLMs to easily build apps and publish them to Hugging Face. The SDK also features several […]
