Combine Reachy Mini — an expressive open‑source robot — with the ASUS Ascent GX10 desktop AI supercomputer to create locally‑powered embodied AI agents. No cloud needed.
The Platform
An open, local, private embodied AI development platform that fits on your desk.
The embodiment — an expressive, open-source desktop robot with a 160° wide-angle camera, dual microphones, speaker, and a 6-DOF motorized head with animated antennas. Standing just 28cm tall, it’s fully programmable in Python with 15+ pre-built behaviors and native Hugging Face Hub integration.
The brain — a petaflop-scale AI supercomputer powered by the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, with 128GB unified LPDDR5x memory, a 20-core ARM Grace CPU, and 1 PFLOP of AI compute. Capable of running 200B+ parameter models locally, all in a 150×150×51mm form factor.
Together, they form a complete, private, local AI agent development platform — from perception and reasoning to physical expression — with no cloud dependency and no data leaving your desk.
Why This Combination
From running state-of-the-art models to building real human-robot interactions.
The Ascent GX10’s 1 PFLOP of AI performance and 128GB unified memory lets you run large open models from Hugging Face — LLMs, vision models, speech models — entirely on-device using llama.cpp, Ollama, or PyTorch. No cloud dependency, no data leaving your desk.
Reachy Mini is the perfect physical platform to bring AI to life. With its 160° camera, dual microphones, speaker, and expressive movements, build real human-robot interaction experiences — from AI-powered conversations to gesture recognition and beyond.
Both platforms embrace open source. Reachy Mini’s hardware designs, firmware, and Python SDK are fully open (Apache 2.0). The Ascent GX10 runs Ubuntu Linux with the full NVIDIA AI software stack. No vendor lock-in, no black boxes.
Access 1.7M+ open models and 400K+ datasets from the Hugging Face Hub. Reachy Mini integrates natively with HF Spaces for sharing robot behaviors. Deploy, iterate, and share your AI agent applications with the community.
The Ascent GX10 measures just 150×150×51mm — smaller than most books — yet delivers 1,000 TOPS of AI processing power. Reachy Mini stands 28cm tall. Your entire AI robotics lab fits on a desk.
The NVIDIA AI software stack on the GX10 means your code runs identically on DGX Cloud or data center infrastructure. Start prototyping on your desk, scale to production without rewriting a single line.
The Ascent GX10 fills a critical gap — enabling diverse AI workloads from coastal science to sport analytics to art conservation on a powerful local machine, running predictive models that simply couldn’t run on a laptop. It opens endless opportunities for students and researchers alike.Prof. Sunita Chandrasekaran University of Delaware — Director, First State AI Institute
Education & Research
The Ascent GX10 comes pre-loaded with the NVIDIA DGX OS and the full AI software stack — including NeMo, Cosmos, and NVIDIA Isaac for robotics. Combined with Reachy Mini, it creates an unmatched hands-on AI learning station for universities, coding bootcamps, and self-learners.
Whether you’re teaching an intro to robotics course or researching multimodal AI agents, this combination provides the compute and the physical interface needed to go from concept to working prototype in one sitting.
ASUS offers a Virtual Lab program for institutions to evaluate the Ascent GX10 remotely before purchasing. Learn more
