Canonical robot record
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.

Record changelog
- Degrees of Freedom: 21 changed to 17 (2x 7-DoF arms + 3-DoF neck); grippers, motorized antennas and the omnidirectional base are additional · Jul 8, 2026
tranche-4 verification (corrected): Pollen publishes the breakdown (2x 7-DoF arms, 1x 3-DoF neck) but no total-DoF figure. 21 is not an official number - it plausibly adds 2 grippers + 2 antennas, but
- Payload Capacity: 3 kg changed to ~3 kg per arm · Jul 8, 2026
tranche-4 verification (corrected): Datasheet: '~3kg/6.6lbs payload per arm' - magnitude confirmed, but the per-arm qualifier (and the ~ approximation) must not be laundered off.
- Height: 136-166 cm changed to 1360-1660 mm (manually adjustable height; dual arms + mobile base configuration) · Jul 8, 2026
tranche-4 verification (corrected): The 136-166 cm range itself is exactly the official datasheet value, but the stored numeric_value=166 against canonical_unit mm reads as 16.6 cm - magnitude error.
