Everything You Need in One Toolkit
Speech
Natural text-to-speech with emotion and timing control
Motion
Precise head positioning and antenna movements
Vision
Capture camera frames as ready-to-use images
Choreography
Hundreds of professionally recorded moves
Reachy Mini combines all core capabilities into a tiny set of simple tools. Whether you're building interactive demonstrations or expressive robotics applications, everything works together seamlessly.
Choreographed Speech in a Single Line
The Power of Embedded Markers
Call speak() with embedded [move:] markers and watch speech and motion synchronize automatically. No complex timing logic needed.
Perfect for:
Interactive presentations
Educational demos
Emotional storytelling
Live performances
speak(
  "Hello everyone [move:joyful1] — welcome!",
  listen_after=2
)
One line does it all: The robot speaks the phrase while triggering the joyful movement at exactly the right moment. Speech and choreography happen together, perfectly timed.
Precise Gaze and Head Control
look()
Control exact head positioning with roll, pitch, yaw, and z-axis parameters for natural gaze behavior
Antenna Movement
Independent antenna control adds expressiveness and non-verbal communication cues
Interaction Ready
Perfect for maintaining eye contact, focusing attention, and creating engaging human-robot interactions
look(roll=5, pitch=-8, yaw=12, z=2)
Vision Made Simple
snap()
Capture camera frames instantly and get them back as base64-encoded JPEGs — ready for processing, display, or analysis.
Use cases:
Face detection and recognition
Object identification
Scene understanding
Visual feedback loops
Returns camera data immediately as data:image/jpeg;base64,... — no file handling, no complexity. Just pure visual data ready to use.
