Hugging Face, a New York City-based startup known for its open-source AI models, has launched the Reachy Mini App Store, a platform designed for its low-cost physical robot, Reachy Mini, which debuted in July 2025. Priced at $299, the robot aims to make robotics accessible to hobbyists and developers. The App Store features over 200 community-built applications, allowing users to download and create custom apps without needing a technical background. This initiative is part of Hugging Face's broader goal to democratize robotics, enabling individuals to develop functional software for the robot using simple English commands.
The launch comes as Hugging Face has sold around 10,000 Reachy Mini units, with 3,000 sold in the past two weeks alone. The platform supports various AI models, including Hugging Face's own ML Intern, and offers tools for users to simulate and test their apps in a virtual environment. By removing traditional barriers to robotics development, Hugging Face aims to shift the focus from technical expertise to creativity in programming robotic behaviors. The App Store is part of Hugging Face's ongoing "Le Robot" project, which seeks to provide open-source resources for robotics development.
