The flock
Same 15 motors, same learned moves, in Sky, Graphite, Cream and Lavender. Pick your fighter. They are already warming up.
Hover a robot, they get excited. From $499 · Estimated ship window: Jan–Feb 2027
Microduck + training
Policies learned in simulation, refined in an digital twin workflow, then transferred to 15 real motors.
Fall recovery, learned the hard way, a thousand times in simulation, once on the GTC Berlin stage.

Buy15
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 cloud training 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 $499 due when sales are open (est. Jan–Feb 2027).

New
Microduck SkyMicroduck in Sky blue. Cloud trained in an Omniverse digital twin (RTX Spark), evaluated in simulation, ready to waddle in real life. Due $499 with delivery.
Accessories
Developer Expansion KitExtra servos, sensor headers, beak grip attachments and mounts for hacking on Microduck with example 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.
Closing the GTC Berlin keynote: four robots that sat, somersaulted, napped, and got back up. Live.
Trained in simulation. Open to builders.
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.
That walk, though.
A little robot. A very distinctive walk. Duck bots from the maker community show why bipedal balance is half the personality.
Yes, it can skate.
Roller skates fitted to test dynamic balance and RL locomotion, the same trick Microduck's Wheel Kit pulls off.
From the community
“Tired of waiting for Microduck? Build your own cyber duck TODAY!”, the open source XGO Duck project (3D printed parts, 15 servos, Arduino UNO Q) launched while the world waits for Microduck's first batch. We love to see it: preorder the real thing, or start tinkering tonight.
01
Train in the cloud
Movement policies are proposed and scored on large cloud systems, long before any motor turns.
02
Build the digital twin
An digital twin of Microduck running on an RTX Spark machine, mirrors every joint, sensor and stumble.
03
Practise in Isaac
Inside simulation, 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.
In the box
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 training stack, 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 simulation. It is, however, extremely cute.
Earlier $399 product batches sold through. Current due is $499 including delivery. Estimated ship window: Jan–Feb 2027 in North America and Europe, in order of reservation.
Yes. Microduck is built for developers: train policies in simulation, test them in the digital twin workflow, 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.
Microduck. From $499.
