A 25 cm, 800g bipedal robot with 15 motors, a camera, LiDAR and two IMUs running a 50 Hz onboard policy loop, shipping before Christmas 2026 at $399 pre-tax, with seven pre-trained behaviors including walking, kicking, grabbing and roller skating (Pollen Robotics). The entire SDK, simulator and RL training stack is on GitHub under Apache 2.0. The simulator runs on Hugging Face Spaces and training goes through Hugging Face Jobs, which is a dependency to price in given the acquisition-offer reports around Hugging Face.
