Back in August, the production cost of our prototype manipulator was estimated at ~$1600 per unit (without assembly), or ~$1000 in a 100-unit batch. Our current goal: cut prototype part costs below $800, and small-series production to around $600.
- To achieve this, we simplified the design significantly:
- Reduced degrees of freedom by one (removed forearm rotation)
- Cut required part volume by ~5×
- Lowered payload capacity from 3 kg to 1.1 kg
