Four Microduck robots, each approximately 25 centimeters tall, took the stage at NVIDIA's GTC event in Berlin.
The robots walked, sat and performed somersaults on commands from NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, but occasionally failed to follow instructions; after stumbling and falling, they got back up. Footage from the event attracted widespread attention on social media.
Microduck is a small, open-source, bipedal robot developed by Pollen Robotics, which belongs to Hugging Face. The robot is designed to get back on its feet by itself after falling.
