You’ve never heard of them. But next week, they’re shipping your first personal robot. It’s open-source. Garage-built. Costs $8,999. Here’s why they might change robotics forever 🧵

In just 12 months, @kscalelabs went from “we have an idea” → to a full humanoid platform → with software, hardware, and training stack → open-sourced and priced affordably. While everyone’s chasing $100,000 humanoids… They’re quietly building the Android of robotics.

Why does this matter? Because robotics is broken. Proprietary. Expensive. Slow. You either work at Tesla, Figure or 1X. Or you don’t work on humanoids at all. K-Scale flips that script.

This one is also worth watching: Shout out to @Scobleizer for always being first!

It’s rare to see this kind of clarity: • Dev-first humanoids • $1K and $9K price points • Full-stack sim-to-real • Open-source edge intelligence • Building a real community This isn’t a research paper. This is a company.
