What is Duckietown?

Duckietown is an innovative educational ecosystem that streamlines the creation, delivery, and consumption of robotics and AI learning experiences. Originally developed at MIT, it has evolved into a global initiative that combines simulation with physical robot platforms to teach vehicle autonomy concepts.

The platform features Duckiebots (low-cost mobile robots), Duckiedrones (autonomous quadcopters), and configurable Duckietowns (urban environments) that together create a complete learning environment. The system includes lectures, exercises, theory, hardware, automatic evaluations, extensive documentation, and technical support.

Features

  • Duckiebots: Low-cost mobile robots built from off-the-shelf parts
  • Duckiedrones: Programmable autonomous quadcopters
  • Duckietown Environment: Configurable urban settings with roads and signage
  • Simulation Platform: Browser-based learning environment
  • Auto-grading System: Automatic evaluation of assignments
  • Educational Resources: Comprehensive lectures and exercises
  • Technical Support: Documentation and community assistance
  • Smart City Labs: Autolab environments with traffic lights and watchtowers

Use Cases

  • University robotics education
  • Independent learning of AI and robotics
  • Research in mobile robotics
  • Professional training in autonomous systems
  • Teaching vehicle autonomy concepts
  • Hands-on programming education
  • Smart city simulation
  • Autonomous navigation training

FAQs

  • What hardware is needed to get started with Duckietown?
    To get started, you only need a computer and internet connection for the simulation experience. For the full roboticist experience, you'll need to purchase a Duckiebot starting from $299.
  • What is included in the classroom kits?
    Classroom kits include Duckiebots, city components, traffic lights, and vary in size from 5 robots ($2800) to 30 robots ($14900), with corresponding city sizes and complexity.
  • How long is the hardware warranty?
    Classroom kits come with a 12-month hardware warranty, while individual Duckiebots come with a 6-month warranty and 30-day return policy.
