microduck-detector
YOLO11n detector that finds a Microduck in an image, 2.6M parameters, scored at 0.63 mAP50 on a held-out split of synthetic renders and real press photos; try it in what-the-microduck.
Project Overview
A tiny object detector for microduck — the 25 cm bipedal robot duck from Pollen Robotics (Hugging Face's robotics team, announced 2026-08-27). It detects the presence and location (bounding box) of microduck in an image.
Evaluated on the dataset's val split (134 images: synthetic renders/composites + real press photos):
Metric Value --- --- mAP50 0.632 mAP50-95 0.433 Precision 0.536 Recall 0.728 Inference (T4, fused) ~3.2 ms
