US EditionWant a Humanoid, Open Source Robot for Just $3,000? Hugging Face Is on It.
- French AI firm Hugging Face unveiled two open-source humanoid robots, HopeJR and Reachy Mini, in 2025, priced at $3,000 and $250-$300 respectively.
- This launch followed Hugging Face's acquisition of French startup Pollen Robotics in April 2025, which provided technology forming the basis of HopeJR.
- HopeJR is a full-sized humanoid robot with 66 independently operable joints, capable of walking and handling objects, while Reachy Mini is a compact tabletop robot that can rotate its head, engage in conversation, and serve as a platform for testing AI software.
- CEO Clem Delangue stated these robots ensure robotics avoids domination by a few companies with black-box systems and planned initial shipments by end of 2025.
- These affordable robots contrast with pricier models like Tesla's Optimus and Boston Dynamics Atlas, potentially broadening access to humanoid robotics for AI developers.
