About this app

Drive your Microduck over Bluetooth, trigger R2-D2-style moods, and watch it react when you pick it up.
Description:
Microduck Remote turns your iPhone into a remote for the Microduck, the small 15-motor robot duck from Pollen Robotics.
Drive it directly over Bluetooth, with no network and no server:
• Touch pad: Move forward, backward, and turn easily.
• Head control: Look exactly where the robot looks.
• One-tap moves: Roll, bow, sit-stand, get up, pick up, and kick.
• R2-D2-style moods: Trigger motion sequences and synthesized sounds (Happy, Alert, Curious, Sleepy, Idle).
• Live status: Monitor battery, temperature, and watch it react instantly when picked up.
• Policy management: Load a new walking gait from Hugging Face, or go back to the original.
• Emergency stop: A safety button that is always visible.
A simulation mode lets you explore the interface without a robot.
