The Microduck is most certainly adorable, but I am more intrigued by Beni… Not sure I would get one now (first generation), but definitely worth considering in the near future for the fun of it. It plays on my childhood memories of once owning a Tomy Omnibot! 😝 www.mondorobotics.com

If 20,000 is right, that's a lot of legged robots in one go. Does anyone know what's inside: which servos and which compute board? For comparison, the Jetson Orin in 10 of the 18 humanoids/robot dogs we track lists at US$699 on its own.
