Chipboard Seeedstudio Hugging Face Reachy Mini Lite Open Source Ai Robot for Raspberry Pi 5 or Pc,Desktop Robot With Camera, Mic
Product Description
Better known for its artificial intelligence software solutions, Hugging Face has now introduced the Reachy Mini open-source desktop robot, designed to deploy AI applications that interface with the physical world.
The robot comes with a camera, microphones, and a speaker, and can move its 6 DoF (degrees of freedom) head, rotate its body, or wave its antennas.
Reachy Mini Lite
Designed for computers running Mac, Linux, and soon Windows.
Reachy Mini
Autonomous robot powered by a Raspberry Pi 5, adding wireless connectivity, a few more microphones, an accelerometer, and battery support.
The Reachy Mini is programmable in Python for now, but JavaScript and Scratch will soon be supported too. We’re also told that over 15 robot behaviors will be provided at launch on the Hugging Face hub, so users will be able to get started immediately. You won’t even need to wait for the robot before working on it, because a simulation SDK allows users to test and develop projects on their computer first.
Everything will be made open-source, including the hardware, software, and simulation environments, and projects can be shared with the Hugging Face community, now with over 10 million members.
Note the robot has no legs or wheels, so it just stays on the desktop and only the body, head, and antenna can rotate or move. The camera will enable computer vision applications, and the microphone and speaker should allow voice interaction using LLMs combined with text-to-speech and voice recognition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Hugging Face Reachy Mini?
Reachy Mini is an open-source desktop robot introduced by Hugging Face designed to deploy AI applications that interface directly with the physical world.
What are the differences between Reachy Mini Lite and Reachy Mini?
The Reachy Mini Lite is designed to connect to computers running Mac, Linux, and soon Windows. The standard Reachy Mini is an autonomous unit powered by a Raspberry Pi 5 with wireless connectivity, additional microphones, an accelerometer, and battery support.
Can the Reachy Mini move around the room?
No, the robot has no legs or wheels; it stays in place on the desktop. Movement is focused on its 6 DoF (degrees of freedom) head, body rotation, and movable antennas.
Which programming languages are supported?
It is programmable in Python initially, with support for JavaScript and Scratch planned for subsequent updates.
Can I start developing before receiving the physical hardware?
Yes, a simulation SDK is available to allow users to build, simulate, and test their projects on a computer prior to deploying to the physical robot.
What AI capabilities does the hardware enable?
Equipped with a camera, microphones, and a speaker, Reachy Mini supports computer vision applications and interactive voice experiences utilizing LLMs paired with text-to-speech and speech recognition.
