The design is all open source software and open source (mostly 3D-printable) hardware. A detailed bill of materials with part costs and suppliers is posted in the repo. The 10K price-tag is for white-glove support and consulting. (My time is expensive!) When you consider all the devices coming out now that are 1/2 software, 1/2 hardware (e.g.smart watches, smart glasses, etc.) that interact with the real world, I believe robotic testing will become more common in the future. Besides, compared to the cost of a product recall due to inadequate quality control, 10K is nothing.
