Reachy 2

Based on published sources · Not tested by us ·

Overview

A Reachy 2 ROS 2 workspace providing robot descriptions, control interfaces and simulation launch components. [S001]

Reachy2 Core v1.7.5 contains the ROS 2 packages for descriptions, configuration, launch and control. It is useful for identifying the software pieces of a Reachy 2 setup; it is not, by itself, a manufacturing or complete parts archive. [S001] [S002] [S004]

Choose the kind of experiment before treating the packages as equivalent. reachy_fake mimics joint states without hardware, reachy_gazebo supplies simulation integration, and reachy_controllers interfaces with hardware and simulated joints. A successful fake-interface demonstration would not establish physical motion, payload or reliability. [S001]

The documented dependency starting points are ROS 2, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml and dependencies.sh. Preserve and inspect those alongside the chosen launch/configuration files before building an environment. This review has not executed the installer or reconciled those dependencies to a physical robot revision. [S001]

Apache-2.0 applies to this repository; it does not establish a blanket license for manufacturing the robot. Complete hardware sources, current delivered cost and our ability to support a build remain unresolved. [S003]
