NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang demonstrated four AI‑powered Microduck robots at GTC Berlin on October 21, 2026.
The Microducks, built by Hugging Face and France's Pollen Robotics, stand about 10 inches tall and weigh less than two pounds each.
The robots were trained in a virtual environment using NVIDIA’s Isaac Lab and Isaac Sim, with an AI agent drafting a training course and testing a digital twin before the model was run on cloud servers. After validation on an RTX Spark laptop, the learned behaviors transferred to the physical units.
The showcase signals NVIDIA’s push into autonomous robotics and could pave the way for commercial releases of micro‑robotic platforms aimed at developers and students.
