Hi all! Excited to share our latest work, Your Own Robot (YOR), a fully open-source bimanual mobile robot for <$10k.We designed YOR specifically for hackers and researchers who need a capable mobile manipulator without the proprietary lock-in or $50k+ price tag.Features:- Omnidirectional base- Two 6-DoF arms + telescopic lift (large workspace)- Onboard Jetson + ZED (SLAM and inference)- Easy to assemble with off-the-shelf componentsWe've validated it on whole-body control and bimanual tasks.

Could you build this?
No This is a physical bimanual mobile robotic hardware platform requiring mechanical engineering, embedded firmware, motor control, and ROS/motion planning expertise.
What it would actually take: Building this requires CAD modeling, 3D printing/CNC machining, high-torque brushless actuator selection, CAN/EtherCAT bus communications, power distribution boards, and embedded microcontrollers (STM32/ESP32). On the software side, it runs ROS 2 with MoveIt for bimanual inverse kinematics and SLAM/navigation packages for omnidirectional base control, demanding multidisciplinary hardware and robotics engineering.
