Hugging Face, which entered the Robotics field, unveiled two humanoid robots. The robot can be open source, and is characterised by a low price for researchers.
Hugging Face introduced the humanoid robot ‘Hopejr’ and ‘Richy Mini’ on the twenty ninth (local time).
Hope JR is a systemic robot that permits you to implement 66 independent movements (freedom) and might walk and arm movements.
Wealthy mini is a desktop -sized small robot. It’s suitable for AI application testing with the function of moving, speaking, and listening.
“Because these robots are open sources, they will understand the principles of assembly, reconstruction, and operation, and the worth is low, so it’s meaningful to forestall the robot industry from monopolizing the closed system of a minority company.”
The estimated price is about $ 3000 for Hope JR and $ 250 to 300 for Wealthy Mini.
The launch of the brand new product was the technology of Humanoid Robot Startup Polen Robotics, which was acquired in April. “The joining of the Polen team was capable of secure the brand new capabilities for the event of the robot,” he said.
Hugging Face has recently been actively invested in Robotics.
In 2024, the corporate introduced the ‘Lerobot’ platform that collected the AI ​​model, dataset, and tools needed to construct a robot system, and in 2025, the corporate unveiled the update version of 3D printing-based programmable robot arm ‘SO-101’ in cooperation with French robot company The Robot Studio. As well as, it’s accelerating the expansion of the Robotics ecosystem by joining the AI ​​startup yak so as to add data for autonomous machine training to the platform.
Hugging Face plans to start out shipment of some products throughout the 12 months and has opened an inventory of waiting.
