Also I'd love to meet a workman who would prefer to have a $75k caddy, rather than simply buying $25k worth of new tools and getting up himself to go grab them whenever needed.
The price point matters.
- jachee 6y agoAs I understand/perceive it, current price point is aimed at R&D of use cases for when that price inevitably drops.
- totalZero 6y agoI think you may be mistaken; Raibert said in 2018 that there would be commercial availability in 2019. I think this is simply the delayed fulfillment of that commercial availability timetable. Some of these devices have been with potential customers (including police) for several months now. And the product has been in development in this form since 2016, or far longer if you consider it an extension of other quadruped robots from Boston Dynamics. There's already been a fair bit of R&D. Perhaps what you mean is that the price will drop when demand grows. I'm sure that Raibert is hoping the same.
