Key facts
- DOF 9 = head 6 (3 rotations, 3 translations) + body 1 + antennas 2; store lists 9 servo motors and +/-160 deg body rotation.
- Wireless battery: LiFePO4, 2000 mAh, 6.4 V, 12.8 Wh. The Lite has no battery and runs from its supplied power supply. Wireless runtime is not published, so battery_hours is empty.
- Built in China, designed in Bordeaux, France by Pollen Robotics (store page).
- Both versions ship as a DIY kit in 3 boxes (about 2 hours to assemble per the official page, no 3D printer or soldering); the kit is how the robot is sold, not a separate variant.
- Datasheet dimensions are 30 x 20 x 15.5 cm (extended); height_cm = 30 is taken from that datasheet figure and may include only the body/head, not the antennas. Weight 1.475 kg (Wireless) and 1.350 kg (Lite) per the HF hardware datasheets.
- Price currency: pollen-robotics.com shows a '$' sign without naming the currency, so USD is inferred. A separate EU store was reported at EUR 435 (Wireless) and EUR 350 (Lite), but its pages could not be re-checked, so only the USD list prices are recorded; VAT basis is not stated.
- Apache 2.0 software; hardware design files CC BY-SA-NC. ROS support is not mentioned in the fetched docs, so ros_support is false only because the schema requires a boolean (not documented).
- This entry merges the Wireless and Lite versions: base specs are the Wireless ones, with Lite overrides.
