Robotic duck learns tricks
Hugging Face has launched the open-source "Microduck" robot, which stands 25 cm tall and is priced at $399 before the holiday season. Its goal is to facilitate the experience and development of low-cost artificial intelligence and robotics applications. The robot can walk in a duck-like manner, pick up objects weighing up to 800 grams, stand up after falling, bend, and even ski using wheeled shoes. It relies on sensors including a camera, LiDAR, and inertial measurement units. The open programming architecture allows developers to train the robot's behaviors within a simulation environment, then transfer and modify models directly. This aligns with the company's direction towards affordable, open-source robotic devices, although privacy concerns arise with its potential use in homes.
