I Saw the Future of Robotics in a Virtual Duck That Chases My Cat

An OpenAI model helped me teach the Microduck to waddle and moonlight as a tiny cat butler. Allow me to introduce you to the robot cat butler I'm developing with help from AI. Using OpenAI's GPT-6 Sol, I taught a virtual version of Microduck --a cute robot from Pollen Robotics and Hugging Face--to walk around a room and identify any bengal cats in its vicinity. I'm still waiting patiently for a physical Microduck-- please hurry up and ship it, guys --but simulated behavior is relatively simple, so it should transfer over to the real thing. I plan to have the robot automatically dispense a treat for my pet bengal, Leona, perhaps by bowing its head to release one from a 3D-printed, head-mounted storage chamber.
