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.
