Gugging face just snapped up a humanoid robotics startup (Pollen Robotics, the folks behind Reachy 2). Open source robots are officially happening. Imagine a robot that serves coffee and critiques your model training while it’s doing it. I’d buy that!

In all seriousness, it does actually feel like a big moment for open robotics.
