Pollen Robotics Warns Against Robot Scams

The warning is timely: viral AI hardware creates an easy opening for counterfeit storefronts and payment scams, so buyers should verify domains before checkout.

• –Pollen’s official store lists both Microduck and Reachy Mini. [Store](https://store.pollen-robotics.com/)
• –Microduck is a 15-motor, open-source biped platform for reinforcement learning and sim-to-real experimentation. [Announcement](https://pollen-robotics.com/microduck/blog/introducing-microduck/)
• –Reachy Mini targets conversational AI, vision experiments, creative coding, and expressive human-robot interaction. [Product page](https://pollen-robotics.com/reachy-mini/)
• –Pollen’s Reachy Mini page identifies Seeed Studio as an official distributor for some regions, so “official” does not always mean the Pollen checkout domain.
• –Developers should treat unusually low prices, alternate payment methods, and lookalike domains as red flags.
