Move over K-pop and K-drama—K-bots are the next big thing. With LIG Nex1 owning 60% of Ghost Robotics and Hyundai owning 80% of Boston Dynamics, it’s only a matter of time before robot dogs start starring in their own K-dramas. 'My Lovely American Pup,' anyone?"

The quadruped you can assemble yourself. Stella is an educational quadruped robot developed by Ahead. Designed for hands-on learning and self-assembly, the robot uses durable 3D-printed components. Ideal for all education levels, it is easy to repair, infinitely extendable, and equipped with advanced hardware and software. Despite its compact design, Stella is versatile, capable of operating in various environments and even carrying payloads like an optional robotic arm. A powerful tool for exploring robotics.

We can't win with white papers. We can't win with blueprints. We can't win with prototypes. We have to win, and that means production.

#Germany, why are your highways constantly in repair? Do you need to keep people employed?

Robotics today is like computers before Apple and Microsoft. Accessible to hackers, engineers, geeks, etc. Largely bespoke. Very open, but fragmented and complex. Not very scalable. – at Austin, TX
