Reachy 2

Reachy 2 is an open-source wheeled humanoid robot launched by France's Pollen Robotics in 2024 as the second generation of the Reachy series. Its height is adjustable between 136 and 166 cm, it weighs about 50 kg, each arm has 7 degrees of freedom and a 3 kg payload, and its wheeled base can move at up to about 9 km/h. It is a leading 'open research humanoid platform' worldwide, offering a complete open-source ROS 2 software stack (Apache 2.0), a Python API and a simulation environment.

Reachy 2 is positioned as a customizable platform for research and industry, suited to AI and embodied-intelligence research, human-robot interaction experiments, education and service scenarios. Its modular design allows the grippers, dexterous hands and perception kits to be swapped, and the base configuration starts at about US$70,000. Several laboratories (including CNRS) and universities in the Bordeaux region of France use it for teaching and research.

Pollen Robotics continues its philosophy of 'humanoid robots for everyone', iterating hardware and software through a community model, and has become one of Europe's most representative open-source humanoid robot companies.
