[Rockchip Stock Hits Limit Up Today Due to Strong Sales of Open-Source Robot Microduck] BlockBeats News, August 31: Pollen Robotics, a subsidiary of Hugging Face, recently launched the open-source bipedal robot Microduck, priced at $399. Standing approximately 25 cm tall, it supports functions such as walking, object picking, self-righting after falling, and can even wear roller skates. Within six hours of launch, orders exceeded $1 million, and within 24 hours, surpassed $2.6 million. Based on the $399 price, the pre-order volume is approximately 6,500 units, with new order delivery times now scheduled for 4–6 months. Notably, the Microduck's main controller uses the Chinese Rockchip RK3566 chip, with the onboard computing platform responsible for running 15 motors, cameras, LiDAR, and a 50Hz robotic strategy loop. After the A-share market opened today, Rockchip's stock price hit the daily limit up directly. Market analysts have identified the strong sales of Hugging Face's Microduck as a catalyst for this development. [Original Link]
