Dexter - appears to be open source and trainable - [1]. FPGA controller is $900 itself, full kit about $4k. So it's expensive. Business model appears to sell the control boards. Is there a lower cost to control it?
Thor - [2] - License - CC-BY-SA 4.0 - [3]
Ergo Jr - [4] - CC-BY-SA
BCN3D - MIT license - [5]. Quite sophisticated. Good candidate. Not trainable?
