Field notes
Microduck uses a simulation-first workflow: behaviours are trained in MuJoCo, moved onto the physical robot, refined, and then published as policies. The page lists a 50 Hz onboard policy loop, seven included behaviours, and an Apache-2.0 software stack, while the hardware includes 15 motors, a camera, LiDAR, and two IMUs. Optional packs add batteries, motors, NFC tags, and other parts.
