    Thanks for sharing! Love that it's open source with the 3D files and instructions included. My son and I are going to build this together. Great project.

      Thats great to hear! Building it together with your son is exactly the kind of thing we hoped JBR-001 would inspire. Have fun and let us know how it goes!

    I have started to use my editor to build a robotic arm and we are using JEPA for perception and Ornith local model for reasoning as a hybrid approach for arm because there’s no single model that handles both.

    I’m sad that it uses the Uno Q. I really dislike the uno Q, since it uses QC SoC, which means no cheap Chinese clone, which is not very accessible to everyone.

      I'm not sure any of the other Arduino platforms would be able to do the computer vision parts this appears to.

      An Uno Q is like $60. So what % are you gonna save on the whole project by using a Chinese knockoff?

        A lot. The official uno r3 is around $30 while the clone can be as cheap as $5.

        Which does not sound much, but to someone living in less developed country, that matters a lot

          On a $1000 hacker project that's only a 2% percent cost increase.

        Chinese clones of Arduinos are normally between 3x-6x cheaper, and if your project uses dozens or hundreds or thousands of them, especially in developing countries, that's a major price delta.

          I assume at those scales it quickly becomes economical to design a custom board instead of using modules that are probably seated on cheap custom PCBs anyways.
