Small robot. Super smart.
The 10-inch bipedal AI robot that walked onto Jensen Huang's stage at NVIDIA GTC Berlin — and stole the show.
Microduck + Isaac
Policies learned in NVIDIA Isaac Sim & Isaac Lab, refined in an Omniverse digital twin — then transferred to 15 real motors.
Fall recovery, learned the hard way — a thousand times in simulation, once on Jensen Huang's stage.

The Developer Expansion Kit adds servos, sensor headers and beak grips for your own Isaac Lab policies.

15
motors. One tiny body.
Across its legs, neck and head — enough to walk, sit, crouch, somersault, and pick things up with its articulated beak.
10″
Under 2 pounds.
A desktop-sized robot, trained in the cloud on NVIDIA systems.
Eyes that understand.
Front camera, depth sensor and dual IMUs keep Microduck balanced and aware.
Roller-skate ready.
Snap on the wheel kit and Microduck trades waddling for skating. Yes, really.
Four finishes.
Cream, Graphite, Lavender and Sky — each $399, shipping by Christmas.

Microduck — CreamThe original Microduck by Pollen Robotics × Hugging Face. 10-inch bipedal AI robot with 15 motors, front camera, depth sensor, dual IMUs and an articulated beak that picks up light objects. Walks, sits, crouches, somersaults — and gets back up when it falls. Trained in NVIDIA Isaac Sim / Isaac Lab. Ships by Christmas (NA & Europe).
New
Microduck — GraphiteMicroduck in Graphite. Same 15-motor bipedal platform, camera + depth sensing and fall recovery — in a stealth matte-grey shell.
New
Microduck — SkyMicroduck in Sky blue. Cloud-trained in an Omniverse digital twin (RTX Spark), evaluated in Isaac Lab, ready to waddle in real life.
New
Microduck — LavenderMicroduck in Lavender. The 10-inch, under-2-lb AI companion robot that stole the NVIDIA GTC Berlin keynote — walks on stage, sits, rolls and recovers on its own.
Accessories
Developer Expansion KitExtra servos, sensor headers, beak-grip attachments and mounts for hacking on Microduck with Isaac Lab policies.
Accessories
Microduck Charging DockWeighted USB-C dock. Microduck walks in, sits down, charges. ~2h to full.
Accessories
Extra Battery PackHot-swappable spare battery for longer training sessions and stage demos.
Accessories
Roller-Skate Wheel KitSnap-on wheels that turn your Microduck into a roller-skating robot. Yes, really — that was in the demo.
Accessories
Travel Carry CaseHard-shell case, robot-shaped foam cutout. Fits Microduck + dock + wheels.
Accessories
Beak Grip Kit (3-pack)Soft replacement beak tips in three grips — pick up lighter, softer, weirder objects.
Jensen Huang, closing the NVIDIA GTC Berlin keynote — to four robots that sat, somersaulted, napped, and got back up. Live.
Built by Pollen Robotics with Hugging Face.
Walk
A real bipedal gait — not wheels in disguise. Microduck waddles with balance corrections from its dual IMUs, dozens of times per second.
Sit & stand
From standing to sitting to standing again, on voice-stage command — exactly as demonstrated live at GTC Berlin.
Somersault
The crowd favourite. A full forward roll, learned after thousands of simulated attempts (and a few real-life face-plants).
Fall recovery
Tipped over during its famous on-stage “nap”, Microduck simply got back up. No hands. No reset button.
Beak pickup
Its articulated beak opens, closes and lifts light objects from the ground — a manipulator disguised as a face.
Roller-skate
Snap on the Roller-Skate Wheel Kit (sold separately) and walking policies give way to skating ones.
01
Train in the cloud
Movement policies are proposed and scored on large NVIDIA systems, long before any motor turns.
02
Build the digital twin
An Omniverse twin of Microduck — running on an RTX Spark machine — mirrors every joint, sensor and stumble.
03
Practise in Isaac
Inside NVIDIA Isaac Sim & Isaac Lab, thousands of virtual Microducks fall, roll and recover until the moves stick.
04
Transfer to reality
The finished policy drops into 15 real motors. What you saw on stage in Berlin was sim-to-real, live.

Good to know
★★★★★
“It fell over taking a nap. Then it just… stood up. The whole keynote hall lost it.”
★★★★★
“The first robot my team argues over at lunch. We named ours Quackers. The somersault success rate is now 8/10.”
★★★★★
“Bought it for the Isaac Lab integration, kept it for the personality. The beak pickup demo sold my entire class.”
No — it's a real bipedal AI research robot: 15 motors, camera, depth sensor and dual IMUs, with policies trained in NVIDIA Isaac Sim / Isaac Lab. It is, however, extremely cute.
The first $399 batch sold out. The next batch ships by Christmas in North America and Europe, in order of reservation.
Yes. Microduck is built for developers: train policies in Isaac Lab, test them in the Omniverse digital twin, and deploy. The Developer Expansion Kit adds extra servos and sensor headers.
Falling is part of its job description — fall recovery is built in. Every robot also includes a one-year warranty covering motors, sensors and servos.
With the Roller-Skate Wheel Kit, yes. Wheels snap onto its feet and a dedicated skating policy takes over.
