Pollen Robotics, a Hugging Face subsidiary, has open-sourced Amazing Hand, a 3D-printable, four-finger robotic hand with eight degrees of freedom (DoF).
Weighing 400g and costing less than $250 - it is designed for Reachy2’s wrist but adaptable to other robots.
Hugging Face has acquired a French robotics startup, Pollen Robotics, for an undisclosed amount.
The Reachy 2 robot, developed by Pollen, is an open-source and VR-compatible bimanual robot for advancing embodied AI, available to order at $70K.
Hugging Face, the leading platform for sharing and fine-tuning LLMs, is also building LeRobot - a platform for providing models, tools, and datasets for robotics AI. Hugging Face was valued at $4.5B in the last round.
