## What it is
Reachy Mini's official Python SDK for controlling Pollen Robotics' open-source expressive desktop robot, supporting the Wireless (Raspberry Pi CM4) and Lite (USB) versions plus a MuJoCo simulation mode. It enables motion control, sensor access, and integration with LLM-powered apps published through the Hugging Face Spaces app ecosystem.

## Use cases
- control a reachy mini robot from python
- prototype robot behaviors in simulation without hardware
- build an llm-powered conversational robot companion
- make the robot follow hand movements in real time
- create and share robot apps on hugging face
- drive the robot from browser apps over webrtc
- experiment with embodied ai and human-robot interaction

## When to choose
- you own or plan to buy a Reachy Mini or Reachy Mini Lite
- you want to prototype robot behaviors in MuJoCo simulation before buying hardware
- you want to build LLM-driven or interactive apps for an expressive desktop robot

## When to avoid
- you need industrial or heavy-payload robotic arms
- you want a general-purpose robotics framework not tied to Reachy Mini hardware
- you need a robot with arms and manipulation capabilities

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: sdk, robotics, simulation, machine-learning, agent-framework
- domain: robotics, artificial-intelligence, developer-tools, hardware
- platform: python, windows, iot, cross-platform
- tags: robot-sdk, expressive-robot, mujoco-simulation, hugging-face, llm-integration, companion-robot, webrtc, app-ecosystem, ai-agents, linux, macos
