About the project
Firmware and system software for Microduck, a tiny biped duck robot on a Rockchip RK3566 that walks, rolls and gets up using neural policies. The repo contains daemons for motor control, updates, Bluetooth, gamepad and camera.
Useful for
- Run the duck simulation in MuJoCo without a physical robot
- Update robot firmware with signature verification and rollback
- Control the robot from a gamepad or laptop over Bluetooth

Stars per day
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
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-29 (UTC), 00:04–10:45: 12947 → 13017 stars (+70). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +160 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Interest is fading: the two-day pace is 59% of the previous week and a half.
- Top new repositories in the last 4 months: #42.
- About 20 forks a day — people are taking the code.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 3,206. +735% versus the preceding 7 days.

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.
