About the project

Microduck is a compact bipedal robot project on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with 14 Dynamixel XL330 servos and a BNO08x IMU. It includes deployment code for walking via an ONNX policy and a reinforcement learning training environment based on MuJoCo/MjLab.

Useful for
  • Assemble the robot following the guide: prepare hardware, flash microduck.img.xz, and set up Wi-Fi
  • Train a new walking policy in MuJoCo/MjLab and export walk.onnx
  • Run the prebuilt walking model on Raspberry Pi via SSH and control it with a gamepad

1.2 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 14, 2026, 00:06 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0250500September 4, 2026November 2, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • There are not enough fresh counter measurements for today's UTC day. The gain is unknown.
  • The repository is 40 days old and already has 1,233 stars.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

The full 7-day window is unavailable; no weekly total or comparison is calculated.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
