AI dev platform Hugging Face continued its push into robotics on Thursday with the discharge of two new humanoid robots.
The corporate introduced a pair of open-source robots, HopeJR and Reachy Mini. HopeJR is a full-size humanoid robotic that has 66 actuated levels of freedom, or 66 unbiased actions, together with the flexibility to stroll and transfer its arms. Reachy Mini is a desktop unit that may transfer its head, discuss, hear, and be used to check AI apps.
Hugging Face doesn’t have a precise timeline for delivery these robots. The corporate’s co-founder and CEO, Clem Delangue, advised Trendster over e mail that they anticipate to begin delivery at the very least the primary few models by the tip of the 12 months, and the waitlist is at the moment open.
Reachy Mini Credit score: Hugging Face
Hugging Face estimates that the HopeJR will price round $3,000 per unit and the Reachy Mini will price round $250-$300, relying on tariffs.
“The vital side is that these robots are open supply, so anybody can assemble, rebuild, [and] perceive how they work, and [that they’re] reasonably priced, in order that robotics doesn’t get dominated by just some large gamers with harmful black-box programs,” Delangue mentioned by way of e mail.
This robotic launch was made attainable partly by the corporate’s acquisition of humanoid robotics startup Pollen Robotics, which was introduced in April, in line with Delangue. He added that the Pollen workforce gave Hugging Face “new capabilities” required to make these bots.
Hugging Face has been making a concerted push into the robotics trade over the previous few years. It launched LeRobot, a set of open AI fashions, knowledge units, and instruments to construct robotics programs, in 2024.
To date in 2025, the corporate has launched an up to date model of its 3D-printed and programmable robotic arm, the SO-101, which the corporate inbuilt a partnership with French robotics agency The Robotic Studio. It additionally expanded the coaching knowledge on its LeRobot platform, by means of a partnership with AI startup Yaak, to incorporate coaching knowledge for self-driving machines.
