3D Reachy Visualizer: Interactive Robot Model

[BioInfo]

Overview

Interactive 3D model of Reachy Mini that can be posed, animated, and synced with the physical robot.

Features

• Three.js-based 3D model of Reachy Mini
• Real-time sync with physical robot position
• Interactive pose editor (drag to move head, antennas)
• Expression preview before sending to robot
• Animation timeline for choreography
• Export animations as replayable sequences

Technical Approach

• GLTF/GLB model from Pollen Robotics or custom
• React Three Fiber for integration with Next.js
• WebSocket connection to daemon for live sync
• Inverse kinematics for drag-and-drop posing
• Animation curves for smooth playback

Use Cases

• Develop/test movements without physical robot
• Visualize remote robot state
• Create shareable animations
• Documentation and tutorials

Integration

• Embed on runreachyrun.com for interactive demos
• Use as preview in DJ Reactor and Focus Guardian
• Export to HuggingFace Spaces
