Reachy Mini
Reachy Mini is an open-source desktop humanoid robot designed for human-robot interaction, research, and creative AI applications. Standing at 28 cm tall, it features a highly expressive 6-DOF head for natural pan, tilt, and roll movements, full 360-degree body rotation, and two animated antennas for personality and feedback. Equipped with a wide-angle HD camera, 4-microphone array for sound localization, and 5W speaker, it enables voice interaction, gesture recognition, and computer vision tasks. Powered by Raspberry Pi (Lite uses external compute), it integrates seamlessly with Hugging Face for 1.7M+ AI models, Python SDK, and simulation environments. As a DIY kit, users assemble it easily, program custom behaviors, and explore teleoperation or learned actions in a compact 1.5 kg form ideal for desks, education, and development without mobility constraints.
