The unofficial Microduck community

Made to move.
Trained by you.

Microduck Club is where owners of the tiny open-source biped robot share ideas, trained policies, and training files β€” so every duck learns something new.

What is Microduck?

Microduck is Pollen Robotics' tiny open-source biped robot β€” a 25 cm duck that learns by doing. You train behaviors in simulation with reinforcement learning, deploy them to the real robot, then refine and retrain. Walking, sitting, kicking, roller skating, getting back up after a fall: if you can train it, your duck can learn it.

  • Walking & balance gaits
  • Kicks, tricks & recoveries
  • Ready-to-run policy files
  • Tips from fellow owners

How the club works

From simulation to a waddling, kicking robot β€” and back into the community.

1
Train in simulation

Teach your duck to walk, kick, skate or recover from falls with reinforcement learning β€” no risk to real hardware.

2
Deploy to your duck

Push your trained policy to the real robot and watch 25 cm of pure determination waddle to life.

3
Share with the flock

Publish your policy, training files, and results so other owners can run, remix, and improve them.
