HUDDLE UP AND POWER ON: Pudgy Penguins Get Their First Look At Rice AI's Pengu Minibot!

From huddle up to power on! The Pudgy Penguins just got their first look at the brand’s fat and flightless real life robots!

On Monday, Pengu Asia took to the timeline with photos from Korea Blockchain Week, revealing that Pax was all over the event, waddling in on hats, plushies, and even as a robot made in partnership with Hong Kong-based robotics company and Nvidia Inception Program member Rice AI.

 

As the Gazette previously reported, Rice AI first announced that a lil Pengu Minibot was in the works two weeks ago.

 

We’re extremely proud to announce that Rice Robotics is set to bring a part of @pudgypenguins to life in a way you can actually experience. Built as a robot companion to move, interact and bring the world of Pudgy Penguins into the real world. The Pengu Minibot is set to join the Huddle, real soon!”

 

Tonight, we still don’t know how much one of these ice-cold clankers will cost, but we do know that the window to pre-order a Pengu Minibot is opening soon.

 

“What a way to kickoff KBW 2026 by meeting the amazing Huddle from  @pudgypenguins ! Here's a first look at our newest addition - Pengu Minibot. p.s. preorder waitlist opens real sooon..”

 

 

The Gazette will continue to follow all things Pudgy Penguins and will let you know when and how you can get one of these bots waddling around your home. Stay tuned for updates!
