Try-hard level: putting tiny ArUco tags on the feet of Microduck to better understand the friction between its feet and the floor.

Btw the mini series of robot theater with Reachy Mini and Microduck has been having a lot of success (12M+ views all platforms combined :O) so I'll keep pushing it!

My current state on episode 5 is: *struggling* (with robot stuff, the story is 95% finished)

How long to get Reachy Mini

Oct 31, 2026 · 2 upvotes

Can a robot have multiple personalities?

This Halloween, I experimented with my Reachy Mini from Pollen Robotics and custom voices from ElevenLabs, giving it two different personalities triggered by ambient light.

☀️ Lights on: Friendly voice, energetic movements, playful behavior.
🌑 Lights off: A darker voice, unsettling movements, and a completely different personality.

Same robot. Different experience.

As embodied AI enters our homes and shared spaces, robots will need to learn how to interact with us, adapting their behavior to different people, environments, and situations.

From a product design perspective, personality is no longer just about conversational AI. 

It's also about movement, posture, voice, timing, and how a robot responds to its surroundings.

We aren't just designing what robots can do. We're designing how they behave around us.

That's what I'm exploring through my work: building products that TALK, THINK and ACT.

I have spent years designing interfaces people look at. Lately, I started designing one that looks back.

Meet Jonathan, our Reachy Mini by Pollen Robotics and Hugging Face. The hardware arrives in a couple of months, so I built his first job in the simulator: our household's morning briefing. Weather from MET Norway, the next bus from Entur, headlines from NRK, the BBC or Yle depending on who's asking.

What a robot taught me:
1. No "scroll for more". A forecast gets 30 words, so you decide what matters before the user does.
2. The interface has a body. A nod does the work a spinner used to.
3. Trust is per person, so Jonathan asks who's up before he answers.

Open source, link in the first comment. Next post: how a robot should admit it got the bus wrong, or does it ever.  😉 

Building something that talks or moves? I'd like to hear about it.

Happy Halloween from Possessed Reachy 🎃

Johannes Tscharn and I are jamming a multiplayer AR experiance for SPECS, and here is a first look. A real Reachy Mini robot by Pollen Robotics gets possessed, and you and your friends have to exorcise him. 

Everyone sees the same battle around the same robot: pick his rage level, play your spirit cards, and watch Reachy react physically to every move and become an avatar in multiplayer.

My Reachy Mini is an amateur photographer!
2,250 shots on Halloween. Only 246 made the cut. No human in the loop.

It waits for the right moment. Computer vision running on the robot detects events and faces, and picks out the moments worth a shot. Each one goes to Qwen3.8-27B, which decides whether to keep it and how to crop it. Smart triage and lean inference let the whole thing run at home on a single RTX 3090.

Not one photo of itself, though. Typical photographer.

A robot that only answers questions feels a bit dead on the desk, so I gave the Reachy Mini a way to react. The agent can play one of ~80 pre-choreographed moves from the Reachy Mini emotions library, chosen to match the sentiment of a spoken request or an incoming MQTT message.

The trick was getting it to pick a valid move first time: I inject the list of real move names straight into the prompt, so the model selects one that actually exists instead of inventing a name that throws. One shot, one valid gesture, no retry loop.

It's a small addition, but expressiveness is most of what makes it read as present rather than a speaker with servos.
