Open Duck Mini

The Open Duck Mini is the Hungarian Robotics Association’s first community robot-building project. The open source, 3D-printed bipedal robot is based on the Disney BDX droid and is a perfect entry point into humanoid robotics.

Project goals

Community members build the Open Duck Mini robot together while learning:

• 3D printing and mechanical design
• Servo control and electronics assembly
• AI-driven operation and large language model integration
• Sim2real pipeline (from simulation to real robot)

Sponsor visibility

We display sponsors and builders on this website (with a link on request) and apply their names as decals on the robot – so they will be visible at every event, in every video and press material, similar to Formula 1 cars. This is a unique, long-term visibility opportunity before an audience interested in robotics and technology.

Sponsors and supporters
