    $6,500 for OpenArm v2. Incredibly smooth movement, 4kg of load per arm. Its unclear how far the level of autonomous control has come so far. The video shows mostly tele-operated operation. I have to agree with other comments here that folding laundry is the killer app.

      We've come a long way from watching 50x speedups [1] to real-time [2] videos of watching robots fold clothes, student-style.

        Off-topic, but even though it was 16 years ago, the robot looks so beautiful and well-designed. It looks so aesthetic!

      I just want my laundry folding robot to run slower than me, and not be able to do karate backflips etc in the event of some undesired scope creep happening one day.

        House scale Faraday cages and an airlock for fiber optics. Should be sufficient until maybe 2032.

      A fully open-source humanoid arm for physical 
      AI research and deployment in contact-rich 
      environments.
    
    When will someone release this but for deployment in target-rich environments?
