Hugging Face unveils new low-cost, ‘open-source’ humanoid robots to take on Tesla

Hugging Face has announced two new robots that it is bringing to market, including a humanoid that the AI development platform plans on selling for around $3,000.

HopeJR is an open-source humanoid robot that has been designed and built by Hugging Face in partnership with French robotics company The Robot Studio. The humanoid costs much lesser than other robots developed by competitors like Unitree, whose G1 robot costs $16,000, and Elon Musk-owned Tesla’s Optimus Gen 2 humanoid which is expected to cost at least $20,000.

“The important aspect is that these robots are open source, so anyone can assemble, rebuild, [and] understand how they work, and [they’re] affordable, so that robotics doesn’t get dominated by just a few big players with dangerous black-box systems,” Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue was quoted as saying by TechCrunch.
