BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FROM HUGGING FACE TODAY: We're unveiling Microduck 🐥🤖 It's a tiny $399 open-source robot you can teach new tricks with reinforcement learning. It can walk, pick things up, get back up when it falls, and even roller-skate. Welcome to the era of open-source affordable robots to democratize physical AI and world models! 🤗🤗🤗

@RemiFabreRobot

Can you make it talk human?

surely it uses duckdb somehow?

I think just for the social media content value this could be a good short term investment. Make it interact your cat or dog, and you got a money printer situation.

My dog is gonna love this, unfortunately.

please tell me your familiar w Howard the Duck, I saw this in theaters lol!!!! I love this so much!!!

He seems stubborn, just like me 😂 Falls down, gets back up, keeps going… yeah... honestly, I see the resemblance 😅

@pt_pavlo when it opened its mouth 😭

woah

Omg, its little rollerblades!

Halloween in SF is going to be insufferable, with people painting these things up like Star Wars droids.

@Kyrannio

I don't see much about battery @ClementDelangue is the 1 hr estimate reliable with active movement? How long does the extra batteries take to charge? Wish these could walk back to a dock to recharge.

@androolloyd Imagine rogue AGI commanding an army of these

Awesome build

this is wonderful!

stop pushing it 😔

That last part with the skating and the group singing in dino-robotic language…. yeah…. creepy yet cute! It’s a pet for sure (for now)

fkncool

The robot looks pretty cool!

How much of this action and reaction is pre-baked in? Would you use prompts to train it? Does it come pre-assembled?

Yes but can it cook and clean??

Nice. Could it, or its successors, be used with evil intent?

100% building this for, and with, my kids. Awesome.

Finally a decent product

cute sells but $399 sim2real is the real story. 25cm, 15 motors, lidar + camera, 7 RL policies you retrain in mujoco on your laptop and deploy. that is $20k lab tech for kids. how hard is first retrain for someone who never did RL?

Very cute but what do you have against hands ?

the rolling skates! cute

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

What we really needed.

Wow. 🤩

Putain, ça peut ranger mes affaires chez moi. Il m'en faut un !

so cute
