Microduck Studio for iPhone, iPad and Mac
Your Microduck.
Your next idea.
Read its policies. Write a motion. Measure what it does in physics. An independent app for your Microduck adventures.
- Free. No account or tracking.
- iOS 17 or later.
- Not the official Microduck app. Independent of Pollen Robotics.
- Open source, Apache-2.0.
Requires Apple's free TestFlight app. There is no App Store release yet, and no date to give you for one.
Make a move.
See what happens.
A place to explore the little robot you own, or are waiting for. Look inside a trained policy, build a motion, then put it through a physics bench.
Start on your phone. Bring your own bench when you are ready to measure.
Get to know StudioRoom to experiment.
From the network that drives a duck to the motion you make your own. Here is what you can explore in Studio.
Policies
Load a trained .onnx, see what is inside it, and check
whether it is one of Pollen's. Blend two into a third, or search one's
weights on a bench, keep what comes out, and publish it to Hugging Face
where every other phone's Community list can find it.
Motions
Write a motion keyframe by keyframe, or describe it in words and let a language model draft it. Every angle it writes is checked against the robot's own joint travel before you see it.
The bench
The app carries the bench: MuJoCo runs on the phone itself, and a machine on your own network can be a bench too. Either one runs a policy or a motion properly, then tells you how often it worked rather than whether it looked good once. Put a network of your own on it under its own name and steer by it.
Challenges
Two published challenges, both open, both unmet. Score an entrant on the same grid the published numbers were measured on, edit it, and score it again.
The Lab
A life size duck on your floor in AR, synthesised duck calls, soccer, and a room capture that writes real scene geometry.
Evaluations
A run is an anecdote. Pick one of four presets, the thing being evaluated and a bench, and get back a log in inspect-robots' own format that somebody else can open and check.
Nobody has the hardware yet. Pollen Robotics' first Microduck deliveries are around Christmas 2026. Everything here runs against a trained policy on your phone, a physics bench on your own network, or a recorded motion. Nothing on this site is talking to a robot. The app can find a duck over Bluetooth and ask what it is. With a small bridge running on the robot's own computer it can drive the duck from the sticks on Play and put a policy file on that computer's disk, and the screen that drives it says plainly that it is moving a real robot with no reset.
Teach it
with paper.
Duck Cards are a free deck you print and cut out. Lay a row on the table, act it out, then run the same row in Studio.
Every card is named in Studio's own words, and the format is open for anyone who wants to build a reader.
