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 stand itself back up after falling. The project's code has been released on GitHub, letting anyone replicate or build on the results. The low price and full open-source release are drawing attention from robotics and AI enthusiasts as an example of affordable, accessible robotics research.

Why now: The combination of a very low price and fully open-source code makes advanced robot learning accessible to hobbyists, sparking discussion.
