Spinoff company of the famed Willow Garage, @UnboundedRobotX, has just announced the release of their exciting new hardware platform, UBR-1. Looking to tap the market where Willow Garage left off, Unbounded Robotics offers users one less arm in exchange for a handful of improvements to Willow's hardware platform PR2. A staple in research institutions around the world, PR2 is no longer in production, and will presumably be replaced by its one-armed spawn, UBR-1. The loss in limbs shies in comparison to the numerous improvements to this new research platform, the most exciting of which being that UBR-1 is just a fraction of the cost. This team will expand the market of research and innovation that their predecessors laid before them, one-armed-robot at a time.
