Key summary
A viral video of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang interacting with Pollen Robotics' 'Microduck' robots at GTC Berlin on October 21, 2026, led to over 20,000 pre-orders within a day. Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue confirmed the figures and predicted Microduck could be the best-selling robot in 2026. Developed by French startup Pollen Robotics (acquired by Hugging Face in 2025) and now part of Nvidia's ecosystem following Nvidia's September 2026 acquisition of Hugging Face, the 25-centimeter-tall, 800-gram robot uses Nvidia Isaac Sim and Lab for training. Priced at $399 USD with delivery expected by Christmas in North America and Europe, Microduck is an open-source platform available in four colors.
