The Readybot project aims to construct a general-purpose mobile robot capable of cleaning the kitchen. Version 1 is designed primarily as a proof-of-concept for feasibility test and general demonstration.

This project is intended to answer a simple question:
How many common household and commercial tasks can a 2-armed, moderate-dexterity, simple robot perform?

An additional goal is to expand the domestic robotics industry, by showing a viable model for new robotic ventures, and also showing the economic and social benefits of large-scale adoption of robotics.
