Build, Fork, Repeat: 5 Open-Source Robotics Projects Rewriting the Rules of Engineering
Open-source robotics is no longer the domain of hobbyists tinkering in garages—it has become a serious engineering discipline producing platforms that rival commercial systems in capability and far exceed them in accessibility. From university research labs in California to maker collectives in Massachusetts, these five projects are lowering the barriers to entry, accelerating innovation, and inviting engineers at every level to contribute to the machines of tomorrow.
