NVIDIA Plans to Acquire Hugging Face for $12.93 Billion

NVIDIA plans to acquire the artificial intelligence startup Hugging Face for $12.93 billion. Last week, Hugging Face's open-source robotics company, Pollen Robotics, released the Microduck, a bipedal robot priced at $399. The robot stands 25 centimeters tall, weighs approximately 800 grams, and is equipped with 15 motors, cameras, LiDAR, and two IMUs. The Microduck can walk, sit, grasp, and kick a ball, and it can get back up after falling. When fitted with wheels, it can glide. Users can train movements using reinforcement learning in the MuJoCo physics simulator and apply the trained strategies to the real robot. The related SDK, simulator, and complete reinforcement learning training stack have been open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license.
