Nvidia CEO Demoes Microduck Robots, Driving Over 20,000 Preorders
During the GTC Berlin conference, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang demonstrated 'Microducks,' small open-source robots capable of performing various physical tricks via voice commands. The demonstration went viral, resulting in over 20,000 preorders for the devices within a single day. The Microducks are produced by Pollen Robotics, which was acquired by Hugging Face (a company recently acquired by Nvidia). These robots utilize Nvidia's technology stack to transition from simulated training environments to real-world physical movement. The high consumer interest suggests significant market potential for small-scale, AI-driven robotics targeting both children and adult hobbyists.
