Hugging Face is selling a cute $399 open-source duck robot, Microduck

Hugging Face’s Microduck is a 25-cm open-source robot sold for $399. It waddles, picks up objects with a beak, recovers from falls, crouches, and roller-skates, using a camera, lidar and dual IMUs for perception. Its behaviors are trained via reinforcement learning in simulation and deployed through a GitHub-hosted SDK, simulation tools, and a full RL stack. The robot follows Hugging Face’s acquisition of Pollen Robotics and the earlier releases of the $499 Reachy Mini and $399 Reachy Mini Lite.
