Democratizing Open-Source Embodied AI for Real-World Robotics

Hugging Face is a global open-source community focused on sharing and advancing machine learning systems through open models, datasets, and tools. During robotics development, this open approach extends to LeRobot, a PyTorch-based framework for learning on real-world robots using imitation and reinforcement learning. Together with Pollen Robotics Reachy, an open-source humanoid robot system, it enables embodied AI development that bridges learning, data, and large model deployment with physical AI agents.

LeRobot provides a unified toolkit for real-robot control, multimodal data, and learning-based methods.With standardized robot interfaces, shared datasets, and separated planning and execution among community, it simplifies building and deploying robot learning systems.

  • opensource library
  • PyTorchbased
  • Compatible robot kit such as: SOARM101, LeKiwi

Pollen Robotics is a Hugging Face–affiliated team focused on open-source robotic hardware and software, developing modular and extensible platforms such as Reachy series robot Reachy2 humanoid robot, Reachy Mini desktop robot, Amazing Hand, etc.

  • Open models and various applications lab
  • Seamless control interfaces with Python and runs on ROS2 Humble
  • Transparent system designs on Hugging Face

Now they enable the community to adapt robots to diverse real-world use cases, focusing on robot manipulation, all for making robot accessible and opensource
