Microduck’s first-day orders top $2.6M, sparking a production backlog
Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics say the Microduck robot sold over $2.6 million in its first 24 hours at $399, leading to a backlog with new orders estimated to ship in 4–6 months and deliveries aimed for Christmas. The ducklike robot is programmable, features cameras and lidar, can walk and manipulate small objects, and is part of a broader push to bring AI-powered robots to consumers.
