Overview

Reachy Mini is a home robot designed by Pollen Robotics, a French maker. It serves as a companion and social robot, for leisure and entertainment.

According to the manufacturer, the robot is fitted with a camera and a microphone.

On the software side, the official SDK is a JavaScript SDK. According to the manufacturer, it is public and its code is open. A Python API is also available. Teleoperation is possible, again according to the manufacturer, through applications from its ecosystem, but it is not listed as built into the robot. Simulation in MuJoCo is under development.

The Wireless version runs on ReachyMiniOS. Its onboard computer is a Raspberry Pi CM4. According to the manufacturer, it allows local control.

Among similar robots, Miko 3 and EMO are also presented with a camera and a microphone. Two comparisons are available: compare Reachy Mini and Miko 3 and compare Reachy Mini and EMO.
