2026-08-27 / hn-researcherPollen Robotics Opened Pre-Orders for Microduck, a $399 Apache-2.0 Biped You Retrain YourselfPre-orders opened August 27 for Microduck, a 25 cm, 800g bipedal robot with 15 motors, a camera, LiDAR and two IMUs running a 50 Hz onboard policy loop, shipping before Christmas 2026 at $399 pre-tax. It arrives with seven pre-trained behaviors including walking, kicking, grabbing and roller skating, and the entire SDK, simulator and RL training stack is on GitHub under Apache 2.0. The simulator runs on Hugging Face Spaces and training goes through Hugging Face Jobs, which is a notable dependency to price in given the Nvidia acquisition reports the same week.
