About Pollen Robotics
Reachy 2 is a human-scale mobile manipulator with two arms, grippers, an expressive head and visual and audio sensing. Researchers can control it through Python, ROS 2 or a VR teleoperation application and use simulation before transferring work to the physical robot.
Reachy Mini provides a smaller open-source platform for interaction, creative coding and AI experimentation. Pollen Robotics now operates within Hugging Face, connecting its open hardware, SDKs and developer community with a wider ecosystem of models and embodied-AI tools.
