Reachy is an open source robot development platform developed by French company Pollen Robotics. Competition for AI and robot development is intensifying, but development has been mainly focused on large areas such as research institutes and large companies. Rich is aiming for a robotic revolution by attracting relatively small developers.
Rich is a humanoid robot. The demo, which was shown on the eve of CES 2020 (Unveiled), also challenged the tic-tac game with large wooden blocks. The reach is modular, so you can swap out the parts you need. It can be used for a variety of purposes, such as providing food at restaurants, responding to receptions at offices, and researching and developing demonstrations. The control system is open source, and the programming language is Python, allowing you to develop your own applications. The control system is equipped with a built-in AI function, so even a developer without machine learning development experience can challenge the robot development.
Lich’s arm supports 7 degrees of freedom movement like a human. It can also be used by replacing five fingers or multiple clamps with a single arm. The company plans to upgrade the robot head in the future. It is intended to evolve into a robot that can express emotions like the movie Wally by allowing it to move up, down, left, right, front and rear in a form close to humans, and adding a display.
Rich is friendly to small developers in that it doesn’t have to design a robotic platform. However, the price exceeds the budget of most amateur robot enthusiasts. The initial model, which will ship soon, will cost $9,000 for a single-arm function version and $17,000 for the top double-arm head version. Related information can be found here .
