This is the Limo: a customizable mobile robot with AI that you can control with your smartphone. It has 4 steering modes, including Omni-directional, tracked steering, Ackermann and four-wheel differential. The LIMO app relies on a Jetson Nano and various sensors for operation.
This is the AIMY: an open source table tennis ball launcher with 2 degrees of freedom, 3 wheels, and adaptable speed. It can generate versatile ball trajectories. AIMY has a Python API. This robot is capable of generation ball speeds comparable to human players. It uses a simple neural network approach for target shooting.
The Stäubli TX2-60 is a 6-axis industrial robot that can be used in various industries for automation. In this video, you can see how an Omega 7 haptic robot can be used to teleoperate a Stäubli TX2-60 robot manipulator. Its end effector covers the range of motion of the human hand.
There are plenty of fancy cameras that let you capture amazing aerial videos but many of them take a bit of time to master. The Snap Pixy is an autonomous flying camera that lets you capture HD aerial video. Pixy flies with the tap of a button. The front camera captures photos and videos while the bottom camera navigates the world around you.
Pixy lets you easily export videos horizontally or vertically, so you can post quickly to any platform. You can edit and easily share to Snapchat and other platforms. Pixy is smart enough to find its way back and land gently in your hand.

This is the OTTONOM: a kitchen robot that cooks your food and tracks your calorie intake. It has a smart grain dispenser that gives the portion size you want automatically. The app serves as your assistant, so you can set calorie goals and track your macros.
The Sphero RVR+ is finally here. It is an app connected programmable robot that works with your smartphone or tablet right out of the box. It can be programmed via blocks, JavaScript, or manually. It has a bunch of sensors, including a color/light sensor, IR, magnetometer, accelerometer, and gyroscope.
Here is another smart robot car designed for more advanced students. The JetAuto Pro ROS Robot Car is powered by a Jetson Nano. It has a 7-inch screen that you can use to debug it. The JetAuto Pro has a robotic arm for picking and transporting items.
Here is a team of robots designed to perform tasks on the lunar surface. The FZI Research Center for Information Technology used a team of Spot, ANYmal, and Husky to analyze the ground and rocks to find potential resources like Titanium. This was all part of the ESA-ESRIC Space Resources Challenge 2022.
Here is a swarm of micro bristle robots that move forward by hopping on a surface that vibrates at 300Hz. Under different vibration conditions, a swarm of these robots can be controlled to disperse to different areas on the surface.
Zhijian Hao, Siddharth Mayya, Gennaro Notomista, Seth Hutchinson, Magnus Egerstedt, and Azadeh Ansari are behind this project.
