It can do seven things like walking, sitting, and picking up objects.
You can control it with a game controller or a laser pointer.
It makes sounds but doesn't talk.
The company wants it to feel like a small creature, not just a robot.
Microduck is a $399 robot by Hugging Face with seven trained behaviors.
Behaviors include walking, crouching, sitting, standing, picking up objects, roller skating, and kicking a ball.
The robot can be controlled using a game controller or by following a laser pointer.
Microduck communicates through sounds via a built-in microphone and speaker.
