Robots need to be available to everyone to run manufacturing, clean, help with businesses, build homes, etc. I am working on a robotics solution that goes back to first principles. A $2k robot with the agility and strength of a 12 yo. When you consider the darpa robotics challenge robots cost $1m to $2m dollars and consume 15kw to run this would be a tremendous leap forward. Material lighter and stronger than bone, muscles lighter and stronger than human muscle, sensing and a nervous system faster than people. Bamboo is cheap and stronger / lighter than bone. Twisted polymer is stronger and lighter than muscle. The goal is to open source it and change the world.
