    Pollen Robotics launches Microduck Arena virtual competition arena

    Pollen Robotics has released Microduck Arena, a virtual arena where Microduck robots race, train, and compete without the need for physical robots. Users train policies with reinforcement learning and publish them to their own Hugging Face accounts to enter challenges; each submission is evaluated uniformly by the Arena, and results can be compared across players. Published policies can be downloaded as .onnx files to watch replays and learn from the best runs.

    Why it matters: It connects policy training, unified evaluation, and replay-based learning into a closed loop, letting readers learn how to train and compare reinforcement learning policies without physical robots.
