Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang demonstrated adorable Microduck robots at a recent event, with the palm-sized machines proving surprisingly popular as the hottest toy candidate for Christmas 2026. The robots, which stomp their tiny feet, make R2-D2-like noises, and respond to voice commands including sitting, falling asleep, and performing somersaults, have already sold 20,000 units. The viral appeal of the miniature robots reflects growing consumer interest in affordable robotic companions and AI-powered toy devices heading into the holiday shopping season.
