Description
The Open Duck Mini V2 is a low-cost, high-performance bipedal platform popularly known as the Tiny BDX. Inspired by Disney’s iconic droid design, this robot is engineered specifically for Embodied AI research. It serves as the ultimate sandbox for Sim-to-Real locomotion, allowing developers to bridge the gap between virtual training and physical reality.
Key Features
- The Tiny BDX Legacy:Features the signature parallel-linkage leg design that delivers the highly expressive and dynamic gait seen in cinematic droids.
- Optimized for Sim-to-Real:Designed to work seamlessly with MuJoCo and Isaac Gym. The hardware latency and sensor feedback are tuned to ensure that policies trained in simulation translate accurately to the real world.
- Reinforcement Learning Ready:A favorite among AI researchers for testing bipedal balance, recovery, and terrain adaptation using RL-based controllers.
- Agile & Durable:Built with high-speed serial bus servos and a reinforced 3D-printed structure to withstand the impacts of aggressive gait testing.
Product Specifications
- Degrees of Freedom (DOF):10 Active Joints (5 per leg for human-like agility).
- Actuators:High-torque Serial Bus Servos (optimized for high-frequency response).
- Main Controller: Raspberry Pi for high-level AI inference.
- Chassis:High-durability 3D Printed Structure (MJF/Nylon).
- Weight & Scale:Compact, desktop-friendly size—the true Tiny BDX
