Since Hugging Face started the LeRobot library in 2024, led by ex-Tesla lead Remi Cadene, the Hugging Face Hub has quickly become the most widely used hub and software platform for open robotics with models, datasets, spaces and libraries.
Today, we’re excited to take it a step further by welcoming Pollen Robotics to Hugging Face, a team that’s spent the last 9 years building open-source robots and hardware.
We believe robotics could be the next frontier unlocked
