Microduck got its new brain!
Our first fully custom SBC in a Pollen robot! It replaces the Radxa + board sandwich from the prototype.
Built by Seeed around the same Rockchip CPU but including better memory, better WiFi/BT, dual NFC antennas, user-facing status LEDs, an RGB flashlight, and major improvements in cooling, cable management and boot speed.
First revision arrived, and we got everything running on it within a day. Pretty good day :)
A big milestone on the road to shipping!
Full breakdown of the Microduck by @pollenrobotics.
Bipedal and self-balancing on fifteen smart servos, with a single Rockchip RK3566 board handling the onboard compute, control loop, and AI inference.
state of the art robotics.
