Quick on the heels of buying Pollen Robotics, open-source #Artificial Intelligence model hub Hugging Face intends to start shipping two bots this year. HopeJR is a humanoid robot that can walk at a cost of around $3,000 — which sounds like a pittance — while the smaller Reachy Mini is desktop bound. The goal appears to be catalyzing #Robotics Revolution 🦾🤖🦿 advancement in an AI context, which will boost demand for AI models — and guess who is in the very center of that market? At the same time, seeing Hugging Face dive headfirst into robotics from its software roots is just downright cool. https://techcrunch.com/20..
