What is Reachy 2?

Reachy 2 is the first open-source humanoid robot specifically designed for the development of embodied AI and real-world applications.

🤖 Meet Reachy 2

Reachy 2 is a versatile, expressive, and open robotic platform designed to explore the future of human-robot interaction, assistive robotics, and AI-driven behaviors.


It combines the dexterity of a humanoid upper body, the mobility of a holonomic base, and a rich set of sensors—including stereo vision, microphones, a speaker, lidar, and more. Whether you want to build an expressive assistant, a teleoperated avatar, or a robot that learns from demonstration, Reachy 2 gives you the tools to make it happen.

What makes Reachy 2 unique?

  • Human-like form with articulated arms, head, and antennas for expressive motion
  • Mobile base with omnidirectional movement for smooth, precise navigation
  • Sensor-rich: cameras, microphones, lidar, IMUs, and more
  • ROS 2-powered, but also accessible via a high-level Python SDK
  • Modular and open, so you can extend, adapt, and customize it for your needs

Object manipulation in the real world is the next frontier.

Truly useful robots need to learn how to interact with the physical world:
✔️ Picking up everyday objects
✔️ Helping in a workspace or home
✔️ Performing tasks with purpose and adaptability

Manipulation is the bridge between motion and meaningful action.

💪 Reachy 2 is built for this challenge

  • Its 7-DOF arms mimic the shape, proportions, and range of motion of a human arm
  • It can lift objects up to 3 kg, making it capable of interacting with real, everyday items
  • Its gripper, head, cameras, and sensors combine to create a fully interactive system
  • And with VR teleoperation or Python-based control, you’re in command—whether you want to guide it live or program intelligent behaviors

What can you do with it?

With Reachy 2, you can:

  • Control the robot in real time or via code
  • Create movement sequences and animations
  • Use vision, speech, or lidar to react to the environment
  • Record, replay, and synchronize multimodal behaviors
  • Explore telepresence, assistance, and autonomous decision-making

Whether you’re taking your first steps in robotics or pushing the boundaries of embodied AI, Reachy 2 is your platform to explore, learn, and innovate.
