Run Gemma on Reachy Mini, an open source robot
Google demos Gemma running on-device on Hugging Face's open-source Reachy Mini robot for local AI interaction.
“Faster processing means quicker reactions, which is great for robots navigating the real world.”
At Google I/O, a presenter demonstrated running Gemma models on-device on the Reachy Mini, an open-source robot by Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics, showing local conversation, perception, and home-automation control. It highlights the trend toward edge AI for privacy, speed, and offline robotics, but is a developer demo rather than a major industry-defining announcement.
