Hugging Face is expanding its push into physical AI, with its new programmable robot shaped like a tiny duck.
The open source AI company unveiled the $399 Microduck, a small-scale robot that can be programmed to perform a range of behaviors, including walking, picking up objects and recovering after a fall.
The robot was introduced last week by Pollen Robotics, the French company acquired by Hugging Face in 2025.
