OPEN-SOURCE ROBOTICS

A buyer’s guide

Written by Sean Michael Ragan

THE PHRASE “OPEN SOURCE” DESCRIBES A PRODUCT WHOSE DESIGN is published with the understanding that anyone is legally free to modify, distribute, make, or even sell their own version of it. In the case of hardware like robots, the same design will often be available for sale — perhaps with various modifications and in various stages of completion, from parts to kits to fully-built — from unaffiliated manufacturers. Some of these may seem pricey, but remember you’re free to make, mod, or even manufacture as much (or as little) of the finished product as you want.
