You’re not the intended audience. This is meant for small research labs that are just starting up and want to enter the RL/Robotics research space and can’t afford a $400,000 PR2 or $150,000 shadow hand.

You can buy a meca500 for 15k USD. If you are just doing learning stuff, it should be more than adequate.

How do you know these prices? I generally find these companies do not publish them on their websites
