About Reachy Mini
Reachy Mini is an expressive desktop robot with a camera, four microphones, speaker, accelerometer and articulated head and antenna movement. Wireless models include Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 hardware for standalone applications, while the Lite version uses an external computer through USB.
A Python SDK provides concise access to movement, audio and vision, and the open-source design supports custom applications, downloadable behaviours and 3D-printable cosmetic parts. The same software operates locally or remotely across both versions. Reachy Mini is commercially available through Pollen Robotics and Hugging Face for education, social-AI experiments and creative coding.
