Hugging Face has released Microduck, a small open-source robot priced at $399. It can walk, pick up objects, stand up by itself after falling, and learn new moves via reinforcement learning — demos even show it rollerblading. It's aimed at lowering the barrier to hands-on exploration of embodied AI and world models.
