Five Reasons Willow Garage is Going to Succeed
,----[ Quote ]
| 4. Willow Garage is community first,
| personal gain second. The whole company is
| focused on how they can work with the global
| community to advance the field of robotics
| as a whole. This is largely expressed in the
| open source licensing of everything they do,
| and their insistence that everyone who uses
| the PR2 follow the same open sharing. Even
| more than that, itâs apparent in their
| attitudes. Keenan Wyrobek, Co-Director of
| Personal Robotics, freely admitted that
| other groups are working on PR2 like robots,
| and may soon make them cheaper and perhaps
| even better. He liked this idea. He wants
| other groups to innovate, to expand, and to
| improve the field of robotics. Itâs
| cooperation first, competition later.

| The NYC Resistor hackerspace gave birth to
| Makerbot Industries, a company that
| produces a 3-D printer kit called MakerBot
| that sells for under $1,000. Featured on
| the cover of Make Magazine (Volume #21),
| Bre Pettis and his team used open-source
| software, the Arduino microcontroller and
| digital fabrication techniques to create a
| low-cost competitor to high-end 3-D
| printers that sell at $20,000 and above.
