Nothing from Audi, but both mini (BMW) and smart (Mercedes) exhibited concept scooters a couple of years ago. Nothing heard since though.
So to answer the OP question: No.

Re: Will Ducati enter the scooter market now audi owns them?
There again...Ducati are focussed on sportsbikes, and no-one buys sportsbike anymore, so what are they going to do? They have produced a few more touring-ish things like the Hyperstrada, so maybe some sort of sporty scooter thing might add to their appeal. Pretty niche thing though.
