The specifications.
Hardware, build and software on one sheet. Every fact links to where we found it.
XGO-Duck is a duck-shaped biped adapted by Luwu Dynamics from Pollen Robotics' Microduck. Its printable structure works with 15 Feetech 1910 servos, an Arduino UNO Q and a custom expansion board with an IMU and servo interfaces. The hardware files support building the robot, while companion repositories provide runtime and reinforcement-learning tools for motion experiments.
