A robotics model from Pollen Robotics for the Microduck library, downloaded about 64,000 times in the last month. Its card gives few details, so check the repository before relying on it. Microduck Policies is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-13. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by pollen-robotics ## About ### What it is Microduck Policies is a robotics model published by Pollen Robotics on Hugging Face for the Microduck library. The name points to control policies for the Microduck robot. The card gives no description, so this page cannot say what the policies do or how they were trained. About 63,900 people downloaded it in the last 30 days, and 54 have liked it. Other people have shared 2 quantized and 5 fine-tuned versions of it. ### Who it suits It most likely suits robotics developers and hobbyists who already work with Microduck and want ready-made policy files. The card names no other audience, so treat this as an expectation rather than a promise. ### Where to use it - Robotics projects built on the Microduck library - A Windows, macOS or Linux computer with Python, to download the files - The card names no other places | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Trying the files | Microduck developers | Model files to test, with behavior the card does not describe | | Adapting the model | Robotics developers | A starting point for fine-tuning, as others have done | ### How to set it up - Python on your computer, on Windows, macOS or Linux - Enough disk space for the model files, whose size the card does not state 1. Install the Hugging Face hub package. 2. Download the model files to your computer. 3. Open the repository on Hugging Face to look for run steps, since the card gives none. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub ``` ```sh hf download pollen-robotics/microduck-policies ``` ### How to use it The card gives no usage steps, so this page shows no code. After the download, look in the repository for a README or scripts that explain how the Microduck library loads these files. | Tool | What it does | | --- | --- | | hf download | Fetches the repository files to your computer | | Microduck library | The library this model is listed under | ### Example No worked example is available. A careful first test is to download the files into an empty folder, list them, and read any text files before you connect anything to a robot. ### For newcomers and experts In robotics, a policy is the part that decides what a robot should do next, based on what it senses. Whether these files work that way is not confirmed by the card, so read the repository first. A sensible first step is to download the files and look at their names and sizes. Experts can use the two quantized and five fine-tuned versions that others shared as a guide to how people adapt it. The robot senses its surroundings → A policy picks the next action → The motors carry it out ### Good to know - License: Apache 2.0. - Cost to run: none named. The steps need no API key or paid service. - Data it reaches: it downloads files from the Hugging Face Hub. The card does not say what else the policies read or send once they run. - Not for: anything that needs documented behavior, since the card gives no run steps, results or limits. ## README ````markdown # Microduck Policies A robotics model from Pollen Robotics for the Microduck library, downloaded about 64,000 times in the last month.
