Reachy Mini is an expressive, open-source robot kit by Pollen Robotics & Hugging Face. Designed for AI experimentation and creative coding, it's fully programmable in Python and deeply integrated with the HF ecosystem.
Hi everyone!
Co-hunting with @sentry_co to share Reachy Mini. Desktop robots are a natural entry point for companion AI, and this new gadget from Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics is clearly their answer to what that should look like.
Their approach is all about being fully open-source. You can program your own personalized behaviors in Python, and the community can build and share them on the Hugging Face Hub. There are already a ton of fun examples in Spaces showing what's possible.
I also have to say, I really like the design. It has a kind of mechanical cuteness to it that I think a lot of people will be into.
Hugging Face has become the go‑to platform for open‑source AI love how easy it is to explore, launch, and demo cutting‑edge models. are there plans to enable collaborative Spaces like team-owned instances with shared histories, permissions, and versioned updates?
Congrats on the launch, your robot is just the cutest! Would loveee to get this sometime soon!
Really cool to see how Hugging Face is making AI more accessable for everyone through open source, nice job to the team for pushing open science forward.
ReachyMini is one of the cutest robots I've seen. The ability to program it reminds me of the days when I used to tinker with arduino and rasberry pi, but this is so much better. Would love to own this.

Who hunted Reachy Mini?
Reachy Mini was hunted by Zac Zuo. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
