Opanarchy(@Opanarchyai):We're going to see a lot more opensource robots being built over the next few years. Not just research prototypes but robots people can actually build, modify, simulate, train and eventually buy. We're already seeing the beginning of this shift, with projects publishing CAD, simulation models, software and even complete hardware kits. As the cost of hardware continues to fall, more independent builders, researchers and small teams will be able to create their own robots. The interesting part won't just be the number of robots being built. It will be everything built around them parts, models, datasets, simulation environments, training tools and software.
