NASA's Valkyrie, and Robonaut 2, in addition Fetch, and Baxter,a couple of industrial arms via ROS-i. I know that it's pretty horrid, but it's also the devil I know. This allows for rapid prototyping. In addition, the API hasn't changed much so I can walk away for months and come back and still use the robot. Several organizations support OSRF, but they're still just a couple of people. It's all open source so I've been able to document bugs and submit fixes. That being said, they're still robotics people doing a systems job, but I've failed so far in convincing systems people that robotics is the next mobile.
