Hugging Face's Pollen Robotics has opened preorders for the Microduck, a one-eyed bipedal robot under 10 inches tall, priced at $399 in four colors, with shipping planned before Christmas 2026. The open-source robot, like the earlier Reachy Mini, runs on a Rockchip RK3566 processor with a camera, motion sensors, and LiDAR. Demos show it picking up objects, kicking a ball, rollerskating, and following a laser pointer, and each unit has a unique generated voice.
