https://pollemrobotics.shop/reachy-mini/blog/ Deep dives into how Reachy Mini works, product news, and stories from the team building it. en Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://pollemrobotics.shop/reachy-mini/blog/animate-in-blender/ https://pollemrobotics.shop/reachy-mini/blog/animate-in-blender/ Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT A hands-on tutorial for the Blender add-on: pose the rig and the robot follows live, play your timeline on the robot with sound, publish finished moves to a Hugging Face dataset, remix any community move as editable keyframes, and close it into a seamless loop. Simon Le Goff Thibaud Frere Tutorial Blender Animation https://pollemrobotics.shop/reachy-mini/blog/software-stack/ https://pollemrobotics.shop/reachy-mini/blog/software-stack/ Wed, 30 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT A year of software around Reachy Mini, in three moves: talk to it out of the box, add an ability from the store in one tap, and build the one that does not exist yet. No robotics background needed. Clément Dussieux Thibaud Frere Product Apps Getting started https://pollemrobotics.shop/reachy-mini/blog/webrtc/ https://pollemrobotics.shop/reachy-mini/blog/webrtc/ Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT A deep dive into the Reachy Mini stack: one WebRTC connection carrying audio, video and motor control, local or remote, and the signaling, SDK and embedding layers on top of it that let anyone - or their coding agent - build and share robot apps in minutes.

The camera, the microphone array, and GStreamer + WebRTC that let the same code work whether an app runs on the robot, your laptop, or a GPU-backed Hugging Face Space.
