768 open-source Microduck robots walk simulated hospital wards on one RTX PRO 6000

Maziyar Panahi demonstrated large-scale robot simulation: 768 open-source Microduck robots (from Pollen Robotics and Hugging Face, Apache 2.0) walking simultaneously through 256 copies of an ICU ward built from open 3D assets, all batched on a single RTX PRO 6000 using the open-source Newton physics engine — 766 of 768 robots still up after 14 seconds. No training involved: the walking policy is the open Microduck policy, and the author argues this is how hospital robots will learn long before touching a real patient.
