Our first Hugging Face contribution: pollen-vision, a library of vision models tailored for robotics' needs, setting a foundation for our future in open source robotics & AI. Aligned with our vision for community progress, we're just getting started.
Together with

, we embraced "Repetition" as we teleoperated Reachy through the same task hundreds of times. This effort aims to enable the robot to master the task autonomously using an end-to-end model.
