Microduck is a 25 cm open-source biped created by Pollen Robotics with Hugging Face. It combines 15 motors, a front wide-angle camera, 8×8 ToF LiDAR, two IMUs, and an RK3566 computer. Developers train policies in MuJoCo, deploy them to the robot, then refine and share them. It includes an open-source SDK, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a removable battery, and gamepad for physical AI experiments and play. Pre-orders cost USD 399 before tax and shipping; first deliveries are targeted before Christmas 2026, according to Pollen.
