Reachy 2 is a torso-up humanoid with two 7-DoF bio-inspired arms, an expressive head and an optional omnidirectional mobile base. It is programmed in Python and ROS 2 and is designed around Hugging Face's LeRobot stack for imitation learning and teleoperation data collection. It meets the letter of all three inclusion criteria but is a research and data-collection platform rather than a worker; it sits in borderline for that reason.

Our verdict

A credible, openly priced research humanoid that you can actually order; buy it to collect manipulation data, not to automate a task.
