What's the simplest possible AI robot that learns everything from scratch?
🦆🧠 Give your small robot a brain. Tell a Microduck, an Open Duck Mini, a Reachy Mini, a LeRobot arm, an XLeRobot cart, an AlohaMini, a ToddlerBot humanoid or any ROS base what you want in human language. An LLM (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Grok, or local via Ollama or vLLM) uses the skills it already has. Simulator, .duck contracts, MCP, memory.
LocoVLA - Learn robot control, RL and VLA on a wheeled biped (Upkie + MuJoCo). 58-lesson open course: classical control, state estimation, reinforcement learning, vision-language-action, C++/ROS2 deployment.
Open source hardware for a bipedal wheel robot — CERN OHL licensed
ROS 2 Jazzy stack for the Qmini bipedal robot: runs an Isaac-Lab-trained PPO policy (ONNX) on a Raspberry Pi 5, driving 10 Unitree GO-M8010-6 joints over 4 RS-485 channels with a Wheeltek N100 IMU and software-enforced safety/deadman.
Simulation-validated 25 mm step-up and head-brake recovery policies for Pollen Robotics Microduck
Train reinforcement learning policies for Microduck, an open-source bipedal robot, directly on Apple Silicon Macs—no GPU needed, with live browser visualization.
Fork of Open Duck Mini: hardware, simulation and control resources for a miniature bipedal robot inspired by the BDX droid.
