The Microduck adventure continues, and the shipping dates are close enough to feel real now. We are proud to tell you that 10,950 Microducks will come off the line between December 10 and January 10!

Weekly batches, earliest orders first. Every date is in here.

Microducks on stage for Jensen Huang’s famous keynote!
We couldn’t be prouder of our little ones. 🥹

Even Microducks need a nap. 😴

[Thomas Wolf @Thom_Wolf]

Jensen spent 10 min of his keynote asking microducks to sit, then explained Nvidia's roadmap to them 🥹

My colleagues creating a friendly RL competition for Microduck. Me, 0.2 milliseconds after the launch:

The Microduck Arena is live!

Train your duck with RL, publish it on @huggingface, and race it in the 2 m Sprint, Hill Climb, Roller Sprint and MicroDuck Got a Talent. No robot required.

RT @thibaudfrere: I asked claude to make a music video for our robot.
It took the job way too seriously.

Say hello to Microduck Beta !

[Thomas Wolf @Thom_Wolf]

new roommate just moved in. walks like he's had three drinks, says no to everything. still quite cute so I might bring him everywhere with me

100% of the bricks for my LEGO Microduck have arrived 🦆 (1,113 parts, 3 shops, 3 countries 🇮🇹🇩🇪🇳🇱, all sourced on BrickLink by Opus-5.5)

Now I just need to find the time to build it...

[Remi Fabre @RemiFabreRobot]

I did some early emotion and animation design for Microduck for the theater videos I've been doing, and I realized I didn't share how to reproduce them. So here it is. Contributions are very welcome!

Microduck got its new brain!

Our first fully custom SBC in a Pollen robot! It replaces the Radxa + board sandwich from the prototype.

Built by Seeed around the same Rockchip CPU but including better memory, better WiFi/BT, dual NFC antennas, user-facing status LEDs, an RGB flashlight, and major improvements in cooling, cable management and boot speed.

First revision arrived, and we got everything running on it within a day. Pretty good day :)

A big milestone on the road to shipping!

Our new Nemotron 3 Diarization model + @pollenrobotics Reachi Mini + DGX Spark

Great work Andi @huggingface 🙌

Train in sim. Run it for real. Teach it new tricks. 🦆

This is the sim2real loop that powers Microduck.

Microduck, in action. 🦆

Walks, sits, roller skates, grabs objects with its beak, gets back up on its own. Out of the box.

Watch it move 👇

We built a small biped robot you can teach new tricks to.

Train it in simulation, run it on the real thing. Meet Microduck 🦆

$399, shipping before Christmas.

The first autonomous agent cyberattack is an unprecedented event that deserves unprecedented transparency. Today we’re sharing everything we can: a full technical timeline, an interactive replay, and how we used an open model to defend ourselves, so defenders everywhere can learn from it and prepare for what’s next.

"S.A.N and Burnie" is a series currently in production with @good_bye_monkey featuring a reachy mini by @pollenrobotics

burnie is a redundant news anchor that reluctantly teams up with S.A.N, an AI orangutan who speaks for the forest.

what begins as a talk show turns into an origin story of the singularity with real people, real AI, all filmed on cinema cameras.

☀️ Reachy Mini Conversation app 0.10.0 and SDK 1.9.0 are out and work great together! Now you can:
- touch the antenna to wake your Reachy Mini
- ask it to track you
- search the web, weather & time, built in
- tell it to sleep

I gave my @NousResearch Heremes a body. With the @huggingface × @pollenrobotics Reachy Mini.
