Open-source solutions have totally set the pace (and vibe) for the AI model race, and guess what? We’re seeing something similar in the robotics world! 🤖✨ Hugging Face, the rockstars of AI, just dropped a mini robot designed to bring AI-powered robotics to developers everywhere. Meet Reachy Mini: standing at 16 cm and weighing in at 1.5 kg of pure potential!

Starting at $299 (and $499 with wireless capability), this little guy is all about experimenting with robotic programming and physical AI. 🚀 It currently supports Python, and soon, JavaScript and Scratch are joining the party! 🎉

Whether you're an AI guru, hacker, teacher, or just a parent coding with your kids on the weekend—Reachy Mini's got your back! The vision is pretty ambitious: right now you can tackle tons of programming challenges on your laptop, but when it comes to robotics? You need a robot. With high-end robots often costing thousands of bucks, Reachy Mini aims to smash that barrier! 💥

I’m starting to envy today’s students more and more! 😅 Check it out here: VentureBeat and don’t miss the tempting video on GitHub: Hugging Face Blog.
