    Microduck-build-tutorial

    1.3KAI-FanGe/Microduck-build-tutorial · Python

    Microduck is a build tutorial and codebase for a compact biped (two-legged) robot: deployment code that runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W to drive Dynamixel servos using an ONNX reinforcement-learning walking policy, plus a MuJoCo/MjLab-based training environment to produce that policy.

    microduck-replica

    1.2Kfanhao375/microduck-replica · HTML

    This is a third-party reverse-engineering project that reconstructs the hardware of Pollen Robotics' Microduck bipedal robot duck - deriving assembly drawings, CAD files and a full electronics scheme from the official public MJCF simulation model and Rust source code, since the mechanical parts and one PCB were never officially open-sourced.

    Motus2

    685shengshu-ai/Motus2

    Motus2 is a self-evolving general world model for dexterous robot manipulation. A single model with shared weights acts as a policy, a simulator, and an evaluator, coupling them into a closed decision-and-learning loop so the system can perceive, predict, act, and improve itself.

    RoboICL

    268Mosi-AI/RoboICL · Python

    RoboICL is a research framework that lets a frozen, general-purpose vision-language model (GPT-6 Astra) control a robot in simulation purely through in-context learning, without training a dedicated robot policy.

  17. 20

    RoboHarness

    246BinceQu/RoboHarness · Python

    RoboHarness is a training-free harness that gives an LLM agent a visual-geometric control panel: the model marks points of interest on 2D images, which get tracked and turned into geometric constraints so the LLM can directly compose and execute embodied manipulation actions.

    225geyan21/flex-pi · Python

    Flex-π is a 6B-parameter world-action model for robot manipulation that jointly predicts future RGB, 3D pointmaps, DINOv3 semantics, and actions from one checkpoint, so it can deploy as a VLA, a full world model, or anything in between.
