Robotics is an inspiring field. It combines some of the oldest and the newest achievements of ingenuity. From the mechanics of gears and levers, through electronics and electrodynamics, up to the latest AI-Models. Robotics is arguably one of the pinnacles of engineering.
We are creating a workshop. It's purpose is to make hardware affordable and sophisticated motion control open to the global community. We want every innovator to be able to learn, try things out and discover new possibilities. The Ubik 7M is the proof of concept for this.
There are some exciting plans for the future. All kinds of things that we could and want to do.
On the mechanical side, there certainly are alternatives to the serial kinematics of a manipulator. It just seems reasonable to get started with something that is well known. Soon, if things go well, you can expect to see kinematics that are less usual and some that you probably haven“t seen before. Keeping always in mind however to offer hardware that is affordable as well as usable in a productive environment.
Maybe the most significant development though would the one for the control interface. VLA Models are impressive, but they do have restrictions, like cost of compute and lack of data. Here you will have a different approach. One that allows for the use of VLA models if wanted, but incorporating them into a more accessible and generally usable interface. The point-and-click alternative, let's call it, because once ready it might resemble those old school adventure games. The fact that anybody can collaborate and share, similar to what happens with CAD models for 3D printers, I believe has the potential to make a big difference.
The future is exciting. Everybody should be able to be a part of it.
