Dynamic forward somersault over the duck's head, rolling on its back and landing back onto its feet in a standing position.

Hardware verifiedAlpha Dynamic Walk

Standard bipedal walking gait with 50 Hz velocity tracking (vx, vy, yaw_rate) and active head-pose orientation control.

Hardware verifiedAutonomous Ground Pick

One-shot crouching behavior that reaches beak to the floor to pick up objects with its articulated mouth gripper, then smoothly returns to stand.

Hardware verifiedDynamic Fall Recovery

Automatic fall recovery policy capable of restoring MicroDuck to standing posture from face-down, face-up, or sitting positions.

One-shot dynamic kick with the left foot designed to strike a 70mm / 15g ball forward while maintaining single-leg biped balance.

One-shot dynamic kick with the right foot designed to strike a 70mm / 15g ball forward while maintaining single-leg biped balance.

Hardware verifiedRoller Blade Crouch Glide

Aerodynamic tuck crouch maneuver while coasting on roller skates, lowering center of gravity for high-speed stability.

High-speed skating locomotion utilizing passive roller skate wheels mounted under the feet, featuring asymmetric velocity limits and turn rate damping.

Hardware verifiedSmooth Sit ↔ Stand

Controlled bi-directional transition between upright standing and rested sitting posture with continuous head commandability.

Fine-grained torso orientation and height controller while standing, continuously mapping roll, pitch, yaw, and squat commands to compliant leg and neck adjustments.

Velocity-tracking walking policy trained specifically to withstand ±1° gear play (2° total) in series with every XL330 servo gearbox.

Simulation testedClassic Swizzle Skating

Symmetric rhythmic swizzle gait on passive roller wheels, generating forward propulsion without lifting feet off the ground.

Simulation testedIn-Place Roller Spin

High-angular-velocity in-place spin pirouette executed on roller wheels using counter-opposed leg torque.

Simulation testedRoller Slope Descent

Downhill slope gliding policy on roller skates with dynamic pitch stabilization and proactive speed moderation.

Robust bipedal walking policy trained with severe terrain height variation, uneven steps, and external lateral pushes.

Simulation testedWaddle Custom Locomotion

Independent community-developed walking gait featuring a pronounced rhythmic waddling sway tuned for biped compliance.
