Hottest Christmas gift? Nvidia CEO plays with adorable Microduck robots, 20,000 sold

Tiny Microduck toy robots that stomp around and respond to voice commands have become one of the season's most popular gifts, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang showed how to play with them.

✨ What these toys are

Microduck robots look like small ducks. They stomp their little feet and make short sounds similar to R2-D2 from Star Wars. You can make them sit, and they "nap" by falling down and lying still. On voice command, the robots can do somersaults.

📌 Why people are talking about them

The CEO of Nvidia, a company that makes AI chips, played with the robots, and the news spread as a possible hit of the season. According to reports, 20,000 of these robots have been sold.
