As a side note, the previous generation of research platforms for that size made in Asia were the Turtlebots, which go for that same price, but without GPU, arm...

I would say the problem is that most manufacturers, including chinese, sell you platforms that are not reliable enough for AI manipulation, and there's a race to the bottom for it, to which we try not to participate to

Pretty lofty claims though, really think you're so above everyone on quality at this price point? I know what dynamixels are capable of, and I see the jitter in the demo videos.

Why aren't the manipulator specs easily accessible on the website? Have you run a real repeatability test? Payload even?

It's a neat high-fidelity garage build platform, but I don't see any reason to assume this price premium is due to hardware quality.
