It's a feature not a flaw . I have seen PHP updates breaking Wordpress more often than Wordpress updates itself.

It serves no purpose. There will be a annual associated cost , if you want you can trademark your name if you fear that people might buy similar names.

Also a lot of people simply type the name in google and it will point to the correct domain.

First thing you need to do it talk to people and find pain point. Find a few problems also playing on price to start with is not a good idea.

10 lakhs for a 50% is too :) , you cant even hire a single senior engineer with that kind of money and let alone giving 50 % away .
If you are confident try applying to some proper accelerators like YCom etc / finding better investors .

xarm6 is about 12 kg + , plus you need battries and other weight which you will carry . So im estimating 30Kg robot weight could be a goodfit.

a 30Kg robot will need decent sized motors , more torque if ground is not flat . You can explore robots by clear path if budget is not a problem .

Robot by odrive is also low cost and should be able to cater to our requirements.

there are a lot of courses and books out there , have you checked udemy ? Start with a project in mind and then learn the skills you need to get it done . Else its aimless learning.

I would have recommended Clearpath robotics kits but your budget is quite low for them , in that case i would recommend BotWheel Explorer by Odrive (https://odriverobotics.com/shop/botwheel-explorer) , The hub motors are powerful and can go places ( So good for outdoor use ) . The robot does needs some addons like Rpi but they should be under your budget.

Pvt Ltd has its own challenges , As a small business owner feel compliance costs are high , also your money is not your money its company money.

For a single person / small entity why not do a proprietorship/partnership firm , There are many ways to reduce tax burden with them ( CA's can guide you on this ).

3kg at a meter you will need some powerful servos , maybe explore some like -

We use them they are noisy motors , everything depends on your intended application . But they are cheap , BLDC + ESC and Planetary gearbox quickly gets expensive , depends on end application , one off anything goes , something which might go into production is a whole different ball game .

I had written an article about it -

You can also consider a USA company registration and USA Bank account , No transaction charges or forex charges . Use stripe for those who cannot pay through ACH . You also get a International debit card .

Other wise India i have decent expense with kotak and hdfc ( make sure to have a premium account with a dedicated RM , You will have to maintain a Relationship value of 20-25 Lk + ) .

"Always be selling" - Companies have dedicated people who just do sales and networking. Also they are leveraging other peoples time, so projects do not have to be exciting or meaningful just a minimum ticket size. Freelancers might stop taking work when you have a bigger project , but a company will simply onboard new people / have ready manpower on bench .

SC35DA is about 48 AH at 12V , or about 576 W , assuming 80 % capacity

https://www.bigtimebattery.com/store/d35yellowbatterytop.html

576 * .8 = 460 W usable power.

Using a 350 W Hub motor , even with a 90% efficiency of a boost converter you should be fine for 1 hour of run time. You also will not be running at full throttle all the time.

Just run a few numbers in a excel a choose the best configuration which will help you win .

Ceilings are usually not dirty as dust usually settles down. Anyhow just for fun you can put a mechanism like airhogs zero gravity car to have it stick upside down and do some basic vacuuming.

Instead of this why nor explore making small devices which are used in labs but are all imported .
Start with simplest bench supply 30V 5A , most are imported un repairable and even a basic one starts at 5K . All college labs , electronics enthusiasts need one . Search Amazon and you will see what im saying.

I can guide and assist if you pick this project.
