Pollen Robotics publishes open robot hardware and software projects, including Microduck and Reachy. Reachy Mini is also documented through Hugging Face. Open-source access and the terms of a hardware purchase are separate questions.
No verified manufacturer representative response has been published through this programme. Page claims and replies are reviewed before publication. ROBODROMO retains editorial control.
A small walking robot for learners exploring movement and code. It is a preorder, so delivery and finished software remain open questions.
Purchase stage: Reservations advertised. The maker page advertises Microduck pre-orders opening 27 August 2026; current fulfilment and regional supply are not verified.
Price, software and support notes
Price: Maker page at the original 1 November 2026 direct check: US$399 before taxes and shipping for the advertised Microduck preorder. Confirm revision, fulfilment and territory.
Single Microduck preorder headline; taxes and shipping extra; not delivered stock.
Regional scope: Global reference only; intended-country orderability, final landed cost and local support are not established unless explicitly stated below.
Software: Software: Apache-2.0 software stack; SDK, simulation and reinforcement-learning training code on GitHub; MuJoCo simulation.
Support: The maker lists a separate developer pack with three spare motors, five motor cables, two batteries, a dual charger and tools. That is evidence of an advertised spares route, not verified stock or delivery. Community help is offered through Discord. The page still describes pre-orders; confirm shipment, warranty, battery runtime and regional service before ordering.
Source check: 2026-11-01 · Direct source text checked. Source dates and incomplete access are not evidence of a tested capability.
A two-arm research robot for teams developing object-handling tasks. It supports programming and remote human control; it is not a ready-made household helper.
Purchase stage: Not established. The selected source documents this exact model; a current order route, stock and customer deliveries were not established by this source-change triage.
Price, software and support notes
Price: No verified comparable robot price recorded in the selected source.
Existing dated public research text; no fresh single-unit quotation. Do not infer a price from a service fee, deposit, build cost, accessory or bundle.
Regional scope: Global reference only; intended-country orderability, final landed cost and local support are not established unless explicitly stated below.
Software: Pollen links its documentation, Python SDK and VR teleoperation application. The product page does not establish a fixed warranty duration, spare-parts delivery time or software-support end date; obtain those for the exact package. Platform software: ROS 2 Humble and a Python SDK; maker describes hardware and software as open source.
Support: Pollen links its documentation, Python SDK and VR teleoperation application. The mobile base is a configuration choice, not something to assume from the platform name. The product page does not establish a fixed warranty duration, spare-parts delivery time or software-support end date; obtain those for the exact package.
Source check: 2026-11-01 · Direct source text checked. Source dates and incomplete access are not evidence of a tested capability.
A desktop robot kit for builders creating interactive projects. It suits coding and teaching, but useful conversation and behaviour depend on the applications you build.
Purchase stage: Orders advertised. The page links order routes for Lite and Wireless editions. Exact kit, stock, shipment timing and destination-country supply were not checked.
Price, software and support notes
Price: Maker/Hugging Face page at original 1 November 2026 check lists Reachy Mini Lite US$399 and Wireless US$499, each plus taxes and shipping. This library record covers more than one edition.
Multiple editions with different connectivity; no single comparable numeric price.
Regional scope: Global reference only; intended-country orderability, final landed cost and local support are not established unless explicitly stated below.
Software: Third-party AI applications can have separate accounts, network dependencies and costs. Software: Open-source Python SDK and simulation environment.
Support: Pollen Robotics and Hugging Face describe an assembly kit with community behaviours. The launch article’s prices and ninety-day delivery estimate are historical, not a fresh shipping promise. Confirm current stock, regional shipping, battery service and warranty. Third-party AI applications can have separate accounts, network dependencies and costs.
