THE INDEPENDENT MICRODUCK FIELD GUIDE
Small duck.
Big rabbit hole.
Meet the little robot that walks, learns, falls over—and gets back up. Pull up a chair. Let’s figure it out together.
For the curious. The makers. The “wait, it can do that?” people.
PICK YOUR FIRST SIP
What brought you to the café?
“What exactly is this thing?”
The robot, the people behind it, and what it can actually do.
Meet Microduck →02 / THINKING OF BUYING“How much is the whole setup?”
Go beyond the sticker price. Compare packs and understand delivery.
Build your budget →03 / READY TO BUILD“Can I teach it something?”
A practical path from your first question to your first experiment.
Enter the learning lab →A LITTLE MORE THAN A CUTE FACE
Come for the waddle.
Stay for the “how?”
A robot is a wonderful excuse to ask better questions. What is a policy? Why does simulation differ from reality? And is this actually the right project for you?

Good questions. Useful answers.
BEFORE YOU GO DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
A few things worth knowing.
Is this the official Microduck website?
No. This is an independent guide. The robot is made by Pollen Robotics, the robotics team at Hugging Face. We link to verified official pages and explain our sources.
Can I try something before buying?
Yes. Start with our simulator guide or the learning lab. Neither requires a purchase here.
Have you tested the robot yourself?
Our assessment is based on published documentation. We have not conducted hands-on testing and do not invent review scores. Read our editorial policy.
