Pollen Robotics Microduck Key Specifications 25 cm tall, 14 cm wide biped robot, under 800 g 15 motors (15 degrees of freedom) across legs, head and neck Rockchip RK3566 with AI accelerator, 1 GB RAM, 32 GB storage Front camera, compact 8x8 time-of-flight LiDAR and two IMUs Articulated grasping beak Microphones, speaker and two NFC antennas Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Removable NP-F550 battery, 2600 mAh, around one hour of runtime 7 trained moves included, 50 Hz onboard policy loop Open-source software stack (Apache-2.0) Product Description Pollen Robotics Microduck is a small open-source biped robot from Pollen Robotics, the robotics team at Hugging Face. You can play with it straight out of the box and later teach it new skills with AI, which makes it a good first robot for students, schools, coding clubs and makers who want to learn how robots walk and learn. What it can do Seven trained moves come ready to use. It walks with a duck-like waddle, sits and stands, kicks a ball, picks up small objects with its beak, roller-skates when the skates are fitted and gets back on its feet after most falls. You drive it with the included game controller, so no coding is needed to start. Hardware inside 15 motors move the legs, head and neck. A Rockchip RK3566 processor with an AI accelerator, 1 GB RAM and 32 GB storage run its behaviours on the robot at 50 Hz. It senses its surroundings with a front camera (with a camera-on indicator), an 8x8 time-of-flight LiDAR, two IMUs, microphones and two NFC antennas, and it has a speaker, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Train new skills with AI Every move is an AI policy that you can retrain. The open-source SDK (Apache-2.0), MuJoCo simulation and reinforcement-learning tools let you train a new behaviour on your computer, run it on the robot and share it with the Hugging Face community. The software is open source; the mechanical and electronic design files are not. Battery and runtime A removable NP-F550 battery (2600 mAh) gives around one hour of use, depending on what the robot is doing. Swap in a charged battery to keep playing. What you need Nothing extra to start playing: the battery, USB-C cable and game controller are in the box. To train new behaviours you need a computer to run the open-source simulation and training tools, or Hugging Face Jobs.

Frequently asked questions Do I need to code to use the Pollen Robotics Microduck? No. It is playable out of the box with the included game controller and comes with trained moves such as walking, sitting, kicking and grabbing. Coding is only needed if you want to train new behaviours. What battery does the Microduck use? A removable NP-F550 camera battery rated at 2600 mAh. Pollen Robotics rates it at around one hour of runtime, depending on use, and you can swap in a charged battery to keep going. Is the Pollen Robotics Microduck at Lens Ground genuine? Yes. Every product sold by Lens Ground is 100% genuine.
