Don’t let the tiny duck fool you… there’s a serious robot hiding inside.
Meet Microduck from Pollen Robotics.
It is a compact biped robot packed with 15 motors, a camera, ToF LiDAR, IMUs, microphones, a speaker and an articulated beak.
And the best part? The software is open source.
You can create behaviors, train policies in simulation and bring them to the real robot.
A tiny duck learning to walk, crouch, grasp objects and recover from falls?
That’s not just cute. That’s a pretty fun robotics platform.
Pollen Robotics (@pollenrobotics): We built a small biped robot you can teach new tricks to.
Train it in simulation, run it on the real thing. Meet Microduck 🦆
$399, shipping before Christmas.
