Pollen develops humanoid service robots specialized in human robot interaction and manipulation of objects. They provide academics, researchers and innovation professionals with a turnkey AI robotics solution for them to kick-start their exploration and prototyping. Reachy is an expressive open-source humanoid platform programmable with Python and ROS. He is particularly good at interacting with people and manipulating objects. Use VR equipment to move Reachy’s arms, hands and head. See through Reachy’s cameras to interact with the environment surrounding the robot. Reachy is available on a robotic base. With three omni wheels, a cylinder-like structure, many sensors and a LiDAR, it is very easy to navigate. His free-moving head is animated by in-house developed Orbita© technology and antennas to convey emotions to its audience. With 7 DOFs Reachy’s arms feature similar dimensions, proportions and movements as in an adult human arm. One arm can lift objects up to 500 grams and manipulate them with pretty good dexterity. His tooltip gripper can be modified to fit at best the targeted application. With internal hardware acceleration for machine learning (TPU) and compatibility with state-of-art AI frameworks (e.g. Tensorflow), Reachy possesses all you need to make him learn new things. Reachy is easy to install and customizable and evolutive.
