that CTRL robot "as affordable as a coffee machine", I don't know where you buy coffee machines, but they don't cost $800 here,

[@morosis82]

Mine is $3k, but I care deeply about my coffee. Cheaper than buying it out in the long run.

[@gyula6516]

Matthew Jenkinson still the most people don't buy a coffe machine that is 3k..

[@morosis82]

Yep, very aware of that, though for me it was worth it from a value perspective. It's an ECM Technika IV Profi, essentially a consumer version of a cafe quality machine, designed to literally last decades - when researching brands, there were users with 30 year old models that still run fine. I drink cafe quality coffee at home, and by not buying it out have saved the value of the machine already over the last 18 months or so (2 coffee drinkers in the house). I also have two bikes worth several thousand dollars (one of them I race), but ride them everyday including to work, and so save the normal commuting costs by car or public transport. Again, good value, as they've paid for themselves just on reduced commuting costs over the past few years, let alone fitness and gym fees, time, etc. We are pretty well off, and it's pretty easy to spend this much if we can justify it, but I always try to justify the value of something before I buy it, even at $100. It's why I don't have very much stuff, but what I do have is mostly awesome ;)

[@spookykitty2327]

also, its kickstarter failed six months before this video was released.

[@capnthepeafarmer]

I like the claim that those ABB robots are $100K. It's closer to like, $20k. Still a lot, but if that were the price no one would automate anything.

Most everything is becoming automated and computer software still is used to control just about everything that is automated. I'm glad that robots are coming along and a quick clip, I want one that will scrub and clean my kitchen floor to a high sheen.

[@DoRC]

I find most of these "use cases" hilarious at best and misleading. Robots are great for repetitive tasks and precision job (though half of these had the rigidity of a wet noodle). Robotics can be fun for sure but a 3d printed arm isn't going to be making your daily life better anytime soon.

[@perz1val]

I found one use case for it. Let's say you want toast for breakfast, so you program your arm to put the bread in a toaster, then take toasts out. When you wake you have your breakfast already done. Isn't it brilliant? :D

[@Scratchy8644]

Only the Meca500 could actually be useful, it is a industrial grade robot arm after all, but it will cost more than a brand new car and will not pick and place heavy stuff

[@Warhamer116]

@@Scratchy8644 honestly if you want a cheap and reliable robotic arm for your DIY project or w/e, just get a *used* fanuc robot. 6-axis robots usually range from 2k to 15k USD, generally going for 2-4 for 6-10kg lift robot and around 16-20k for 150-300kg M900 series robots. A lot of shops in US and EU are upgrading their automation processes and the old, worn arms tend to go for cheap, and I've even had one shop asking if I was willing to take one off their hands for free if I was willing to arrange the logistics to bring the arm and the controller to my shop. Granted, a true 6-axis arm like M6i, ArcMate or LR2000 series arms don't exactly fit kitchen tables, well LR2000 might, but the combinations tend to be a bit heavier than what normal kitchen table can withstand, bolting down rigidity requirements for precise moves notwithcstanding.

[@BlockdAccount]

@@Warhamer116 might want to keep in mind voltage requirements as well!

[@BlockdAccount]

Hey now, I need my gum packs straightened!

[@DanFrederiksen]

The Dobot is pretty cool at around 1000$. Add in PCB cutting function ready to go and I think it's a hit. Both cut a PCB and populate with parts, that's a strong combo. The Meca is very nice too, noticeable high quality but unfortunately industrially expensive at 15k. The other 3 are getting treatment for parkinson's disease.

[@S-the-simple-engineer]

Dan, it looks like you have hand on experience on these robots. Could you please explain what you meant by Parkinsons on the other three? Vibrations or repeatability issues?

good product~

[@patrickmurray4819]

These robot arms are great for industrial use, but too expensive for a hobbyist. I'd say a price range of $150 to $200 is more ideal. Many DIY videos of robotic arms yield inconsistent results after long periods of use. Isn't there an affordable robot that has the same precision for soldering and light tasks. Also, machine learning and autonomy would be a bonus, but it's doubtful considering the price.

[@Kinenner]

The Meca500 cost 15k, YEAH RIGHT ITS A DESKTOP ROBOTIC... ITs a fricken industrial rig for labs and such that require precise movements.........................

[@sthukas]

[@adisharr]

Most of these robots aren't precise, large or strong enough to be used for any real applications. Most of these are just tools for learning.

I like the part of the CTRL commercial 10:41 where they ahve the woman fake typing on a mac keyboard with the monitor off and the little girl at the windows lock screen... It's like the projector/TV commercials where they say look at how good we are, but don't have anything plugged in.

[@someguy4915]

And how would that arm be moved? All 'electrical' arms are mechanical, it's just that you need energy to move it, energy in the form of a human using his body to move the arm or electricity to move the arm, a mechanical arm without electric motors to move it is just a prop, unusable.

Top 5 Robotic arms you cant afford (As a regular young guy).

[@ActuatedGear]

A few hundred dollars is perfectly reasonable. That's priorities and nothing else. The real issue is getting a return on your investment, because that's what it has to be. If you can't afford to waste that much money, then before you spend that much you need to explain how it's going to be worth buying which would either pay for itself or make a profit. That's how money really work, and I mean as it works to pay you dividends. You invest it. Tools and projects are investments, even for enjoyment. It's all about how you think about it and that you DO think about it.
