Hardware, layer by layer
From the overall frame down to joint actuation and sensor placement — what it is made of first, spec sheets second.
Microduck is an open-source bipedal robot duck from Pollen Robotics, part of Hugging Face. We compiled its hardware specs, software architecture, training pipeline and update flow into a bilingual, offline-readable technical reference.
Primary material is English-first and split across repositories, press releases and the product page. Understanding why a small robot is designed this way meant cross-referencing a dozen pages.
From the overall frame down to joint actuation and sensor placement — what it is made of first, spec sheets second.
Control loops, state estimation and high-level tasks: what each layer owns and where the boundaries sit.
How policies are trained in simulation and transferred to the physical robot, and where that transfer usually breaks.
A complete page in each language that works without a connection, with source links kept on every claim.
