Hugging Face's $399 Microduck robot learned to walk in simulation

Original: Hugging Face's $399 Microduck learned to walk, skate and stand itself back up in a simulator, and its code is on GitHub

Hugging Face's Microduck, a $399 open-source robot duck, was trained in simulation to walk, skate and pick itself up after falling, with its code released on GitHub. The low price and fully open approach are drawing attention as an example of affordable, accessible robotics that hobbyists and researchers can replicate and build on.

Why now: People are excited that a cheap, fully open-source robot can master complex behaviours like walking and self-recovery through simulation training.
