Full Description

<p>Pollen Robotics, the Bordeaux robotics team at Hugging Face, opened pre-orders for Microduck — a 25 cm bipedal robot where every movement is a neural policy trained in MuJoCo and exported to ONNX. At $399, it puts the full sim-to-real loop on a desk: 15 motors, camera, LiDAR, two IMUs, and an Apache-2.0 training stack you can retrain yourself.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.marktechpost.com/2026/08/28/pollen-robotics-hugging-face-microduck-399-open-source-rl-biped-robot/">Hugging Face U
