their automatic vacuum cleaner.
Rethink Robotics was created by the co-founder of iRobot who
was already well aware of hurdles with manufacturing process. Can they bring

DJ Sures is an educational robotics enthusiast from Canada.
For myself, I imagine him as real-life Luke Skywalker. That is, he was many
years ago. Now he is Robot Overlord, CEO of EZ-Robot. His Easy Robots have a
rich set of hardware components, control software, and support community.

7Bot: a $350 Robotic Arm that can See, Think and Learn!
(Kickstarter)
The group of robot fans set the goal to make robots more
accessible for everyone.
Of course, the price on their site is higher - $1.777, but
still much cheaper than $25000 of RethinkRobotics (2015.12.16).
As expected, this product vanished, but the link is still
active (2018.12.26). Now they sell All-In-One Desktop Pen Plotter, Laser Cutter
and Engraver for Makers and Artists.
