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 unveiled results from its $399 Microduck robot, which taught itself to walk, skate, and stand back up after falling, all through simulated training. The code has been released on GitHub as open source. Observers are highlighting the low price point and the company's decision to make the robotics software freely available.

Why now: The combination of a very low-cost robot and fully open-source code has drawn attention in the robotics and AI community.
