Reachy Mini

Reachy Mini is a compact, open-source humanoid robot designed as an accessible platform for embodied AI research, robotics education, and human-robot interaction experiments. Built around affordable, 3D-printable hardware and off-the-shelf components, it provides a physical testbed for integrating perception, planning, and control models with real-world actuation. The system typically includes an articulated head and upper body with camera-based vision, expressive movements, and programmable behaviors, all controlled via standard software interfaces and modern AI frameworks.

Developers can use Reachy Mini to prototype interactive assistants, study social robotics, or test multimodal models that connect language, vision, and motor control. It supports remote control, scripted sequences, and policy-based control, making it suitable for reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and teleoperation scenarios. Because it is open and modular, researchers can extend the platform with custom sensors, actuators, or AI pipelines, and share reproducible experiments with the broader community.
