Hugging Face, the AI developer platform, has launched a new 3D-printed robotic arm called the SO-101, priced starting at $100. The arm, developed in collaboration with The Robot Studio, WowRobo, Seeed Studio, and PartaBot, is an upgrade from the previous SO-100 model, featuring faster assembly and improved motors. The SO-101 is equipped with a camera and can be programmed using reinforcement learning to perform tasks such as picking up objects. Hugging Face is also broadening its robotics ventures by acquiring French startup Pollen Robotics to sell their humanoid robot, Reachy 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
