@cheddar: Jensen Huang and a flock of robot ducks. 🦆 The keynote took place at Berlin’s Tempodrom, as Huang pitched Europe on building its own AI economy. The stars of the closing demo were Microducks, 9 inch robots from Hugging Face’s robotics team, Pollen Robotics. These tiny robots can walk, balance, sit, stand, kick a ball, roller-skate, pick things up with their beaks and get back up after a fall. They learned those skills in simulation with NVIDIA Isaac Sim that was trained in the cloud, and were tested on a laptop-sized RTX Spark before running on the real robot. As impressive as they are, they’re not flawless. Three fell over when told to “take a nap,” only two did the somersault, and one needed a stern “pay attention, stay focused.” Despite that, the $399 duck sold over 10,000 units within days of launch in August of this year.

China watching this video like we are way behind in the AI race. They have their own robot Olympics and we have ducks.
