Feather is a new startup positioning itself as an open, developer-friendly platform for robotics, similar to how Android became a flexible operating system for phone makers. The company is selling a customizable robot platform priced at around $30,000, aimed at software developers who want to build and test robotics applications without designing hardware from scratch.
