microduck-happy-hop

Short two-foot hop that crouches, takes off, absorbs the landing and returns home, and one of the first community policies shown running on a physical MicroDuck, after Pollen restored the one-step action delay it depends on. The card states that delay alongside the rest of the contract.

Project Overview

--- library name: onnx pipeline tag: reinforcement-learning license: apache-2.0 tags: - microduck - microduck-policy - mjlab - robotics ---

A short vertical two-foot hop for MicroDuck: stabilize in a normal standing pose, crouch through the hips and knees, extend for takeoff, absorb the landing with knee flexion, then return toward HOME.

The following video shows the policy running successfully on a physical MicroDuck after Pollen Robotics restored the required one-step action delay:

Intended Use

Use this entry to assess the project and locate its canonical implementation. Read the complete README, inspect the manifest and artifacts, and reproduce the source's evaluation before assigning simulation or hardware verification.

Review before deploymentThis record preserves source material but does not independently verify model artifacts, training claims, safety limits, or physical-robot behavior.
