Pollen Robotics Reachy 2
Pollen RoboticsOpen-source bimanual humanoid with VR teleoperation for AI research
About Pollen Robotics Reachy 2
Reachy 2 stands 166 cm tall featuring two 7-DoF arms optimized for manipulation research. As an open-source platform (ROS2-based, Python SDK, Unity VR integration), Reachy 2 enables researchers to customize and develop embodied AI applications. VR teleoperation achieves 125ms glass-to-glass latency for real-time remote control. The robot includes stereo 3D vision, spatialized audio, and an expressive head for human-like interaction. Mobile base option (three omniwheels, LiDAR) expands workspace and navigation capabilities. Data collection pipeline and ML-ready architecture make Reachy 2 ideal for imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and AI research. French design emphasizes open innovation and community collaboration.
