Why it matters
Pollen is turning an affordable biped into a hands-on test of open robotics: developers can train, export and share locomotion policies, while the GPU requirement and real-world transfer still set the practical limits.

Pollen Robotics has published a path for training its Microduck biped in simulation and running the resulting walking policy on the physical robot, extending co-founder Matthieu Lapeyre's long-running open-robotics project from shared hardware into shared behaviors.…
