How to build the Pato

The top half arrives ready. You give it legs, and in an afternoon it is walking.

01

Build the legs

Screw the motors onto the leg parts.

02

Set up the motors

Tell the duck where each motor is, so it knows how to move its legs.

03

Connect to Wi-Fi

Charge the battery, switch the duck on and connect it to Wi-Fi from your phone or computer.

04

Make it walk

The duck stands up and walks. Drive it with the controller or your phone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Pato the duck robot I saw online?

Close! Pato is based on Open Duck Mini v2, an open-source project. We make the parts and electronics and prepare the software, and you build it and get Pato walking.

I reserved after 1 Nov 2026. Do I get it before Christmas?

You get the Christmas box before the 23rd: printed shell, guide access and a voucher. The full kit arrives in January, at the €499 launch price.

Is it a toy?

No. It is for learning, ages 14 and up, and it has motors and a lithium battery.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You do not need it to build and drive it. A little Python helps if you want to teach it new things.

Can I change the duck?

Yes. The designs and software are open: print new parts, change what you like and share it.
