Cable-driven room-scale organization robot
Stringman is capable of reaching anything in a single room.
Move beyond a desktop arm and start using your robot to do real work. Our current network picks up laundry, toys, and trash, dropping them in marked bins. The cable-driven robot platform makes navigation and balance non-issues, and there is no downtime for charging.
Stringmans supports teleoperation from either a local or cloud interface.
At it's simplest, you just turn it on, select automatic pick and place, and let it run for about 15 minutes for cleaner floors. You can drive it manually with a standard gamepad from the web interface, or import the nf_robot python module and control it with the protobuf based interface.
Stringman is completely open source and certified by OSHWA. And complete visual guides are available if you want to print and build your own.
Stringman components are based on Raspberry Pi's with most heavy lifting occuring on your host machine. You can find the control code on Github
Ever needed to reach through your security camera, grab something and put it somewhere? Stringman is basically a set of security cameras with a hand, so you can log in and manage your robot from anywhere.
Model updates are offered regularly for recognizing a greater variety of targets and obstacles and handling edge cases in new enviroments. If you're up for it, you can program your own behaviors or fine tune our models on your household data. Models and datasets are of course open source as well and published on HuggingFace
