Microduck robot duck uses RL sim-to-real, programmable via DGX Spark
huggingface · x · 2026-10-21
Hugging Face retweeted a close-up look at Microduck, a tiny programmable robot duck that can be connected to an NVIDIA DGX Spark. It uses reinforcement learning to transfer AI-trained movements from digital simulation into the real world — a miniature preview, its creator says, of future large humanoid robots.
