Licenciamento dividido. O software do Microduck e seu código de treinamento são Apache-2.0. Desde 9 de outubro de 2026, a Pollen Robotics licencia os arquivos do modelo 3D do robô (as malhas STL do microduck_rl) sob a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0: uso não comercial, com crédito à Pollen Robotics, e alterações compartilhadas mantêm a mesma licença. Isso também vale para réplicas impressas a partir dessas malhas. A Pollen não publica CAD, placas de circuito nem lista de materiais do próprio robô. Verificado em 5 de novembro de 2026.

• A home-built Microduck on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (AI-Fan (AI研究室-帆哥)): AI-Fan, of the YouTube channel AI-Fan AI研究室-帆哥, built a working Microduck at home and published the whole route, in Chinese, in a GitHub repository: a parts list around a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, a ROBOTIS OpenRB-150 servo board, 14 Dynamixel XL330 servos (ten in the legs, four in the head and neck), a BNO08x IMU and a 6 V battery pack; a ready-to-flash Raspberry Pi image with the walking policy and gamepad control; the servo IDs, wiring and first-run steps; and an mjlab setup to train the walk again. The repository's recordings show the robot walking, and the full build is a video tutorial on the channel. The tutorial's own code is MIT, but the printed parts come from Pollen Robotics' Microduck model files, which are licensed CC BY-NC-SA 4.0: build one for yourself, not to sell.
