For now, it's just a pair of legs that learns to walk on its own.. Hugging Face launched the LeRobot Humanoid, an open-source project that allows building a bipedal humanoid robot for about $2,500 using 3D printed parts and off-the-shelf components. The humanoid robot, for now, consists only of robotic legs designed for experimentation in locomotion, posture, and balance. The platform includes printable mechanical files, assembly instructions, wiring documentation, and simulation and artificial intelligence training tools. Hugging Face entered the hardware market in April 2025 by acquiring the French startup Pollen Robotics, creator of the open-source humanoid robot Reachy 2. Buildin...
