Reachy Mini Gains Two-Wheeled Mobility

Pollen Robotics’ two-wheeled Hoverboard base turns the open-source Reachy Mini Wireless into a mobile robot controlled through joysticks, live camera feedback, or custom code. The accessory is designed for developers experimenting with embodied AI beyond the desktop.

// ANALYSIS

This is more than a novelty accessory: mobility expands Reachy Mini from an expressive desk robot into a programmable physical-agent platform.

–Two motorized wheels, battery, electronics, and anti-tip supports come integrated.
–Compatibility is limited to Reachy Mini Wireless; the USB-powered Lite model cannot use it.
–Developers can combine movement with Reachy Mini’s Python SDK, camera, microphones, and community apps.
–The base is listed at €135, with first orders expected to dispatch in late January 2027.
–The biggest opportunity is enabling low-cost experiments in navigation, teleoperation, and social robotics.
