    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides a Python SDK and daemon to control the Reachy Mini expressive robot in real or simulated environments.
    • Enables easy, intuitive robot control with minimal code and supports both USB and wireless connections.
    • Use for developing AI-driven human-robot interaction applications with real-time motion and sensor control.
    • Use for prototyping robot behaviors in simulation using MuJoCo before deploying on physical hardware.
    • Use for integrating robot control into custom software via REST API for remote or networked applications.

    From the README

    ⚠️ Reachy Mini is still in beta. Expect bugs, some of them we won't fix right away if they are not a priority.

    Reachy Mini is an expressive, open-source robot designed for human-robot interaction, creative coding, and AI experimentation. We made it to be affordable, easy to use, hackable and cute, so that you can focus on building cool AI applications!

    Reachy Mini's hardware comes in two flavors:

    There is also a simulated version of Reachy Mini in MuJoCo that you can use to prototype your applications before deploying them on the real robot. It behaves like the lite version where the daemon runs on your computer.

    Follow our step-by-step Assembly Guide. Most builders finish in about 3 hours, our current speed record is 43 minutes. The guide walks you through every step with clear visuals so you can assemble Reachy Mini confidently from start to finish. Enjoy the build!
