Here is a self modeling robot that can create a self-model to plan motion, reach goals, and avoid obstacles. The robot uses feedback from 5 cameras to get the job done. This approach enables the robot to keep up with its own wear and tear and compensate for damage.
Arduino is a wonderful platform for learning electronics and coding. The KEYESTUDIO Mini Tank Robot V2 for Arduino comes with everything you need to build a robot and program it with blocks. It can avoid obstacles, follow lights, and perform other common tasks.
Here is another robot that is being developed to perform tasks in space. GITAI’s S2 is a 1.5m long autonomous dual robotic arm that can perform in-space assembly and manufacturing. This robot can take on tool changing, component replacement, and other in-space tasks. The below video shows it in action:

Meet the Faro: a cherry tomato picking robot that can take on harvesting tasks in large-scale gardening facilities. It uses its arm to grab and remove ripe tomatoes and put them in a basket. This robot is designed to work near humans. Faro has a modular design.
Here is another educational robot for more advanced students. The Yahboom Jetson Nano Mecanum Robot comes with a LiDAR and Depth Scanner and is ready for navigation, mapping, obstacle avoidance, and human body recognition. You can program it with Python.
Here is a robotic mop with LiDAR that cleans your floors, so you don’t have to. The BISSELL ReadyClean A3 Robotic Mop comes with app control, so you can easily put it on a schedule and set up no-go zones. It is smart enough to lift the mop pad automatically after cleaning an area. It also replaces the mop pad at the docking station.
Meet the VoloDrone: a fully electric utility drone capable of carrying up to 200kg. It has a range of up to 40km, so you can easily operate it within a large radius. These drones don’t make a whole lot of noise either. The below video shows this drone in action:
These drones can be used to make deliveries, provide disaster relief, and assist with transportation of other goods.

Meet Cubetto Playset: a wooden robot with a programming board that gets your children familiar with coding. You can use the board and colorful cubes to program the robot. The blocks let you move the robot forward, left, or right. This kit is ideal for kits 3 to 7 years old.
Here is another racing FPV drone that gives you an immersive flight experience. It comes with goggles with 150-degree FOV. The Apex FPV Racing Drone comes with 3 batteries and gives up to 18 minutes flight time. It has beginner, ATTI and Horizon modes.
Meet the Rhino: a robot built for mine structural safety inspection. It weighs over 350lbs and can operate autonomously in very dark places. The below video shows what it takes to build such a robot:
As you can see in the video, this robot can navigate uneven terrain with no issues.
