Indeed, as a consumer if it fails or to ensure adequate level of service, to whom shall I turn?
Open source is for those who have computer or mechanics skills but it is not true for everyone ….
There is a majority of people prefer to buy a finished product rather than a product kit, no ?

I don’t see a problem with commercialization, after all if robots are going to become commonplace then they’ll have to get there eventually. I would like to see NAO become more modular so that new legs, for example, could be developed and sold separately to improve the design and functionality.
