A duck, from every angle
The face, rounded back, small static feather details and tail create a coherent character. T.I.N.Y. is designed to feel recognizable from the front, side and rear.
THE COMPACT DUCK COMPANION
T.I.N.Y.
Tiny Intelligent Neural Yaw-bot
Little feet.
A world of possibility.
A duck-inspired robot that turns movement into personality. T.I.N.Y. combines a compact bipedal stance with a sculpted beak, expressive eyes and feather-like details for a playful introduction to robotics.

T.I.N.Y.’s final hardware selection is not yet consolidated. Microduck is a relevant published skating-biped reference, but its numerical specifications below are not claimed as final T.I.N.Y. specifications.
| Specification | Detail | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Form factor | Compact bipedal duck-inspired robot | Design architecture |
| Locomotion direction | Walking and skating configurations | Product direction |
| Exterior | Rounded back, beak, tail and static feather details | Design direction |
| Expression | Cyan illuminated eye treatment | Design direction |
| Reference height | 25 cm / approximately 9.8 in | Microduck reference only |
| Reference mass | Approximately 800 g / 1.8 lb | Microduck reference only |
| Reference actuation | 15 motors | Microduck reference only |
| Reference sensors | Camera, LiDAR and two IMUs | Microduck reference only |
| Reference control | 50 Hz onboard policy loop | Microduck reference only |
| Reference software | Open-source SDK, simulation and reinforcement learning | Microduck reference only |
| Final T.I.N.Y. dimensions & mass | Dependent on selected hardware and new exterior | Validation pending |
| Final battery & runtime | To be established for the selected configuration | Validation pending |

ABOUT T.I.N.Y.
Let’s get
specific.
Does T.I.N.Y. skate?
Skating is part of T.I.N.Y.’s intended movement direction. The gallery currently shows the standard-foot design. Final skate attachments, supported surfaces and behaviors will be confirmed with the selected hardware.
Is T.I.N.Y. the same as Microduck or Open Duck Mini?
No. T.I.N.Y. is the I Brain Robotics design. Those names refer to distinct robotics projects. The Microduck figures here are explicitly a technical reference, not a claim that every feature is integrated into T.I.N.Y.
Is it suitable for education?
Education is an intended use. The final age guidance, supervision requirements, learning activities and software access will be defined for the released product.
