Confirmed core specifications
Pollen Robotics lists the following hardware in its press kit. The independent CNX Software launch coverage reports the same core configuration.
| Area | Confirmed detail |
|---|---|
| Movement | 15 degrees of freedom across legs, head and neck |
| Compute | Rockchip RK3566 with AI accelerator |
| Memory | 1 GB RAM and 32 GB storage |
| Perception | Front camera, compact 8×8 ToF LiDAR and two IMUs |
| Interaction | Articulated beak, microphones, speaker and two NFC antennas |
| Connectivity | Wi-Fi and Bluetooth |
| Power | Removable NP-F550 2600 mAh battery |
Specifications that are still provisional
Pollen explicitly says several details are still being finalised. A precise-looking number from a generic component datasheet is not proof of the final shipped robot.
- Camera resolution and field of view
- LiDAR range
- Radio versions
- Final SDK language support
- Age recommendation
What these specifications are designed for
The sensor and motor package supports a different job from a stationary voice robot: balancing, moving, recovering from falls and transferring trained policies from simulation to a physical biped.
The one-hour battery figure is an estimate that depends on behavior and workload. A removable standard-style battery makes swapping more practical, but it does not make the estimate universal.
