Microduck Field Guide
An independent, source-backed guide to Microduck’s price, hardware, simulator, open-source software, and comparison with Reachy Mini.
Field notes
The guide uses a three-level evidence system—confirmed, provisional, and unknown—to keep launch information from collapsing into speculation. Its visible reference points include a 25 cm body, 15 degrees of freedom, roughly one hour of battery life, and a $399 price before tax and shipping. Readers can also follow links to the official browser simulator and open-source resources, although the guide cautions that the simulator demonstrates software direction rather than the final physical-hardware experience.
