Overview
Reachy 2 is the open-source humanoid robot platform from Pollen Robotics, designed specifically for the development of embodied AI and real-world applications. It combines a bio-inspired humanoid upper body with parallel-joint arms, a movable neck, stereo vision, audio, and an optional holonomic mobile base, making it suitable for exploring human-robot interaction, manipulation, and AI-driven behaviors.
The platform is fully open source and is offered in several configurations, ranging from a single stationary arm to a dual-arm system mounted on an omnidirectional mobile base with LiDAR. Pollen Robotics, based in Bordeaux, France, became part of Hugging Face in 2025, reinforcing the platform's open-source and research orientation.
Reachy 2 can be programmed through a Python SDK, is compatible with ROS 2, and supports VR-based teleoperation. It is aimed at AI research labs, universities, and developers rather than at consumer use, and is described by the maker as already in use in major AI research labs.
Key Features
- Bio-inspired dual-arm upper body with parallel-joint actuators designed around adult-human arm proportions and movements
- Fully open-source hardware and software design with a Python SDK, ROS 2 compatibility, and VR teleoperation
- Multiple onboard cameras providing stereo vision and depth perception for manipulation and remote operation
- Optional omnidirectional mobile base with omni wheels and LiDAR for autonomous navigation
- Modular configurations spanning single- or dual-arm and stationary or mobile setups
