CodeRover Sustainable Programmable Robot for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, micro:bit

0

Here is a versatile robot that can be used with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, micro:bit, and ESP32-CAM platforms. The CodeRover is a sustainable programmable robot. It is available in Sumo and off-road versions. With Code:Bit, these robots are ready for wireless programming. 4 add-ons are available that let you do more with these robots (e.g. rubber band launcher or BB gun).

CodeRover can be programmed in multiple programming languages. It has durable rubber tracks, metal gear motors, dual rechargeable battery, and ultrasonic/IR sensors. More information is available on Kickstarter.

SkyTrack & SkyAI Tracking Fixed Wing Drones

0

In the past few years, we have covered plenty of counter surveillance solutions that can detect and deal with rogue drones. SkyAI, as the name suggests, uses AI to detect, classify, and track drones. SkyAI can be integrated with most PTZ camera systems. It uses deep learning for accurate tracking.

Cooperative Modular Single Actuator Monocopter (M-SAM)

0

Here is a modular single actuator monocopter that can fly in singular or cooperative configuration. You can attach two of them together magnetically to have them fly together in cooperative mode. As the researchers explain, these Modular Single Actuator Monocopters (M-SAM) have connectors that “allow for passive separation of the units without the need for a dedicated separating actuator, by harnessing the variable centrifugal force from controlled adjustment of the rotating speed of the craft.”

Robofish: Robotic Pet with LiDAR & App Control

0

Here is a robot fish that you can use to keep your kids and pets entertained. The Robofish comes with Bluetooth, app control, and LiDAR. It is smart enough to avoid obstacles. It lasts up to 2 hours on battery and is rechargeable. It has multiple light modes.

ARTO-1 Drawing Robot from Naver Labs with Interactive Haptic Tech

0

Meet the ARTO-1 from Naver Labs: a drawing robot that learns from humans the ability to touch the brush. It consists of an interactive haptic technology for precise force control. It also has a cloud brain that handles thousands of motions. The below video shows this drawing robot in action:

WOODWOW Programmable Wooden RC Robots

0

In the past few years, we have covered plenty of cool educational robots here. The WOODWOW wooden robots are also worth a look. These robots are easy to assemble and programmable. They come with app and joystick control. The Chariot robot has mecanum wheels and comes with a camera. It can be transformed into Artillery, soccer, or track robot with additional modules.

Jueying X20 Hazard Detection & Rescue Robot Dog

The Jueying X20 is finally here. It is hazard detection and rescue robot dog by DEEP Robotics. It is designed for complex terrain, such as a post-earthquake landscape. It can also navigate in debris buildings and areas with toxic materials and hypoxia.

Necrobotics: Using Dead Spiders’ Legs As Robotic Grippers

We have covered plenty of interesting robotic grippers here in the past. Rice University researchers have found a way to use dead spiders’ legs as raw material for robotic grippers. They “tapped into the hydraulic infrastructure of dead spiders using a needle.” The legs can be extended with a puff of air. Releasing the pressure retracts them to grab objects.

Assistant Professor Daniel Preston and his team even coined a new term for this field, Necrobotics.

Drone with Ground Penetrating Synthetic Aperture Radar for Landmine Detection

0

Here is a UAV with a ground penetrating synthetic aperture radar that can be used for landmine detection. It comes flying sensor-specific flight maneuvers, terrain tracking control and high accuracy sensor localization. Once the drone identifies a suspicious area, it descends to a low altitude to start surveying. The below video shows it in action:
