Developer releases Stringman, an $800 open-source room-scale cable-driven robot. Using four ceiling-mounted motors to drive a gripper in a 7x7x3m space, it achieves a 1.9kg average payload, outperforming traditional arms at similar cost. The project provides full CAD files, firmware, and control algorithms for customization.
