Microduck Robot: $399 On-Device Compute with SLAM Mapping
Thom_Wolf · x · 2026-09-01
A developer demonstrated the $399 Microduck robot, highlighting that its onboard compute is powerful enough to run a TUI-based dashboard directly on the device. The dashboard visualizes policy, actions, and sensor data in real-time. The demo also showcases SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) capabilities as the robot navigates a room, with visualizations of LiDAR distance measurements.
