Oh I've been keeping an eye on Pollen Robotics and Reachy Mini for a while.  But this is the first review to come across my feed and I enjoyed the take.

Let us know if you grab one.  It is a really nice looking bit of kit.

Another follow up video, this one by Jeff Geerling


He takes the platform and works with it a bit with a handful of other open source projects.

I was really interested in this robot until I watched that video. (Thank you for posting it Alan.) I thought it might be a plug and play sort of device, but sadly it’s not. And, I just don’t need another project at this time. So I will be passing on this. Oh well. Back to creating my own LLM AI!
