Open-source Stringman gripper robot launches with $800 price tag
A new open-source robotics project called Stringman introduces a room-scale gripper robot that uses clip-on fiducial tags to identify drop-off points like laundry bins, toy boxes, and trash cans. Users tag destinations rather than individual clutter items, and can mark objects as off-limits or use tags as source and destination markers for tasks like item-ferrying between robot arms or laundry stations.
