## Hugging Face Democratizes Robotics with Affordable Humanoid and Desktop Robots > Hugging Face is shaking up the robotics world with the introduction of two budget-friendly robots. Traditionally, humanoid robots have been a luxury, accessible primarily to large corporations due to their high costs.
Hugging Face, a US-based company, is challenging this norm with its new open-source robots. ### HopeJR and Reachy Mini: Affordable Robotics for Everyone * **HopeJR:** This humanoid robot is slated to be priced at a mere $3,000, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for many.
* **Reachy Mini:** A smaller, tabletop version is also in development, with an anticipated price tag between $250 and $300. Both models are expected to launch later this year, potentially opening up the world of robotics to a wider audience.
