In partnership with The Robot Studio, AI company Hugging Face is developing two affordable, open-source robots: HopeJR and Reachy Mini which it likens to Raspberry Pi for AI developers. "Robotics shouldn't just be dominated by a few big players with dangerous black-box systems," said CEO Clem Delangue. The company recently acquired Pollen Robotics and has previously released AI models for robots and a 3D-printable robotic arm.
