Hugging Face sells its own robots through Pollen Robotics, the French robot maker it bought in 2025. On October 19, 2026, the Pollen Robotics store listed Reachy Mini Lite at $399, Reachy Mini Wireless at $499 and the Microduck biped at $399 on pre-order, all before taxes and shipping. Reachy 2, the full-size research robot, is sold by quote. The SO-101 arm is open hardware you buy as parts or as a kit from third-party sellers, and the HopeJR humanoid announced in 2025 had no order page.
Both Reachy Mini versions were marked sold out in the Pollen store on that date, so check stock before you plan around a delivery.
Reachy Mini: the desktop robot most people mean
Reachy Mini is a small expressive robot with a moving head, antennas and a rotating body. It has a wide-angle camera, four microphones and a speaker, and it is built for conversation, coding and AI experiments rather than household chores. You program it in Python or JavaScript, and it installs community apps from Hugging Face Spaces.
- Reachy Mini Wireless ($499): a Raspberry Pi CM4 inside, Wi-Fi and USB, a battery and an accelerometer. It runs on its own without a computer attached.
- Reachy Mini Lite ($399): no onboard computer. It plugs into your Mac, Windows or Linux machine over USB and uses that machine to run. Pollen labels it “for developers only.”
Both ship as kits. The Reachy Mini product page says assembly takes about two hours and lists a lead time of up to 90 days after purchase. The Pollen store ships only to the EU/UK and US/Canada. Buyers elsewhere order from Seeed Studio, Pollen’s official distributor. Orders ship DAP, which means you pay any import duties and taxes on delivery.
Launch-era articles and older listings show other prices for Lite, so go by the store page at checkout. Our Reachy Mini Lite vs Wireless comparison covers which version suits which setup. The Reachy Mini documentation also includes a MuJoCo simulation, so you can try the SDK before the robot arrives.
Microduck: a small biped you retrain yourself
Microduck is a 25 cm two-legged robot. Its walking, sitting, kicking and other behaviors are reinforcement-learning policies trained in simulation, and you can retrain them on your own computer or on Hugging Face Jobs and redeploy them to the robot. Pre-orders opened on August 27, 2026, at $399 before taxes and shipping, according to the Microduck page. It comes in four colors. Check the store listing for the current shipping estimate before ordering.
Reachy 2: the research humanoid for labs
Reachy 2 is a human-scale upper-body robot on an omnidirectional wheeled base. It is aimed at AI and robotics labs that need two arms for manipulation research. The Reachy 2 page lists:
- two 7-degree-of-freedom arms, each lifting about 3 kg
- adjustable height from 136 to 166 cm and a full weight of up to 50 kg
- stereo and RGB-D cameras, plus a LiDAR on the mobile base
- ROS 2 Humble and a Python SDK, with VR teleoperation for collecting demonstrations
Pollen does not publish a price for Reachy 2. Labs request a quote from the page.
SO-101: the arm you build
The SO-101 is an open-source robot arm designed by The Robot Studio with Hugging Face. There is no Hugging Face store listing. You print the parts and buy servos yourself, or buy a kit from a third-party seller, then set it up with the LeRobot software. Our SO-101 cost and setup guide breaks down the official parts list and the seller options, and the LeRobot getting-started guide explains how the arm, the datasets and the training code fit together.
HopeJR: announced, but not on sale
Hugging Face and The Robot Studio unveiled HopeJR in May 2025 as a full-size open-source humanoid with 66 actuated degrees of freedom and an estimated price of around $3,000. On October 19, 2026, Pollen’s product menu listed only Reachy Mini, Microduck and Reachy 2, and we found no HopeJR order page on Hugging Face’s or Pollen’s sites. Treat the $3,000 figure as a 2025 estimate, not a current price.
Which one to pick
- To talk to a robot, run apps and write small programs at a desk, Reachy Mini is the entry point. Choose Wireless if it should run without your laptop.
- To learn reinforcement learning and sim-to-real on a walking robot, Microduck is the cheapest way Hugging Face offers.
- To collect pick-and-place demonstrations and train imitation-learning policies, the SO-101 arm with LeRobot is the usual starting point.
- For two-armed manipulation research with a lab budget, Reachy 2 is the option, and the price comes from a quote.
