A team of young engineers and hackers are building personal robots in their shared home in Palo Alto, California. They want to show that building robots doesn't require huge amounts of money—only passion, skill, and teamwork. Using 3D printers and open-source designs, they built KBot, a personal robot that can be taken apart, studied, and improved. The team believes learning comes from making mistakes and sharing knowledge. Their goal is to make robotics more open, accessible, and useful for everyone.
