RobotsJensen Huang told four robot ducks to nap and only three fell over; the clip passed 280,000 views
A Korean OBS News clip of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang bossing around four duck-shaped robots by voice on the GTC Berlin stage passed 280,000 views after it went up Oct 22.
Per TechEBlog, when Huang told them to take a nap, three toppled over right away and the fourth kept walking a few steps before lying down. Asked for a somersault, only a couple managed it, and Huang called a wandering one back with "Pay attention. Stay focused. Come here." The robots are Microducks from French company Pollen Robotics, now merged with Hugging Face: about 10 inches tall, under two pounds, with 15 motors, a camera and a depth sensor, and a fully open-source software stack.
The Register said the demo showed a workflow where AI is trained in the cloud, evaluated on an Nvidia RTX Spark PC, then deployed to the robots.
Top comments: "Cute, but scary when you think how much privacy that camera could leak" (803 likes), "At least you won't have to clean up poop" (774), and "So Jensen's out selling toy ducks now" (548).
