Reality check

The useful boundary is what works repeatedly in a real environment—not what looks impressive in a demo.

Works well when

Predictable delivery, cleaning or guidance routes
Sites with elevators, doors and handoff rules defined
Repetitive work where staff can handle exceptions

Verify before buying

Navigation around guests, children and temporary obstacles
Charging, cleaning, refilling and daily ownership
Actual handoff behavior when the route is blocked

Not a magic solution

A substitute for hospitality and human judgment
A guarantee of lower labor cost without workflow changes
A safe choice for an untested public environment

About

Reachy Mini is an open-source, expressive robot made for hackers and AI builders. It is available in a wireless version running onboard on a Raspberry Pi CM4 with battery and WiFi, a Lite version connected to your computer via USB, and a simulation version for prototyping in MuJoCo. The robot is programmed through a Python SDK or JavaScript/WebRTC web apps, and comes with an app store powered by Hugging Face Spaces offering apps such as Conversation, Radio, and Hand Tracker. Robots are sold as kits that generally take 2 to 3 hours to assemble, and the project is licensed under Apache 2.0.
