Microduck Preorders Create a Servo Demand Signal
More than 10,000 orders for the $399 robot imply demand for over 150,000 ROBOTIS DYNAMIXEL servos.
Microduck surpassed 10,000 preorders in five days.
The $399 robot uses 15 ROBOTIS DYNAMIXEL servos, implying demand for more than 150,000 servos from those first five days of orders alone.
For context, South Korea-based ROBOTIS produced approximately 220,000 actuators in 2025.
The company is expanding capacity, including another 200,000 units of annual actuator capacity planned for the fourth quarter as its Uzbekistan operation ramps.
The comparison spans different products in ROBOTIS’ portfolio, so it does not imply equivalent revenue per actuator.
