MIT’s Nexi MDS Robot Now For Sale
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 15 of January , 2009 at 4:11 am
We first met Nexi back in April, when she (?) was undergoing her first (quite impressive) expression tests. Now it appears as though some version of her expressive head combined with a wheeled self balancing base and a pair of 7 DOF arms and hands is now for sale from Xitome Design, a tech consulting company founded by MIT graduates. There’s no specific information on exactly what you’d be getting for the unspecified money you’d have to spend… My guess, though, is that the consumer version of Nexi is going to be in the same realm as the consumer version of Keepon: waaayyy too expensive for you and me. Sigh.
