Hugging Face, known for machine learning and AI, is now venturing into robotics with the release of a humanoid robot named HopeJR.
HopeJR is priced at around $3,000, a much more affordable option compared to other robots like Unitree's $16,000 G1.
The robot, co-designed with The Robot Studio, features up to 66 actuated degrees of freedom, can walk, manipulate objects, and is open source.
Hugging Face aims to make robotics accessible and transparent by providing open-source, affordable robots to prevent domination by a few big players in the field.
