Here is another crawling robot that you can drive with a Raspberry Pi. The XiaoR Geek Hexapod Robot Kit can perform 18 bionic actions. It is ready for a Raspberry Pi 4B. This robot has face recognition, color recognition, and line tracking functions. It has a 2DOF camera and can be programmed with Python or C++.
Meet the MechArm 270 Pi from Elephant Robotics: a 6-axis robot arm for makers, programmers, and everyone in between. It has a compact, lightweight design, so you can easily fit it in your back. It has a working radius of 270mm and max payload of 250g. This robot is ready for Python, C#, and C++. It can also be programmed via drag & drop. It has a Raspberry Pi 4 brain.
Here is another robot designed for lunar surface exploration. The SORA-Q is a deformable lunar robot created by JAXA, TAKARATOMY, Sony Group, and Doshisha University. This robot is in sphere form when released from the lander. It begins to deform and transforms into a rover when it lands on the surface.
Meet David the Robot: an anthropomorphic robot that can use a 7DOF arm and fully articulated 5-finger hand to handle fragile items. It comes equipped with passive-variable spring stiffness. The below video shows it using a pipette.
As the researchers explain:
To localize the object, we combine multi-object tracking with proprioceptive measurements. Together with path planning, this allows for controlled in-hand manipulation

Meet Plasan’s Wilder: an armored vehicle for the military and special forces that is ready for fully autonomous operations. This vehicle offers Stanag 4569 Level 2 protection for 4 people and has 800kg payload capacity. It has an 8-speed automatic gearbox and central driving position.
Milrem Robotics shouldn’t need any introduction. We have covered plenty of their combat robots here in the past. The Type-X Robotic Combat Vehicle is designed to raise troop survivability. It has a hybrid diesel electric drive with a modular design. It can be outfitted with several 25 mm to 50 mm autocannons.
Meet the M-RCV Medium Robotic Combat Vehicle: an unmanned vehicle that is going to be tested by the Israel Ministry of Defense. It comes with a 30mm autonomous turret. It can operate day and night in all weather conditions. This vehicle also has a capsuled drone for forward reconnaissance mission and a passive sensing kit.
Here is another ROV designed for underwater inspections. The Blueye X3 Robot has a 3-knot forward speed. It can operate in up to 2 knots currents. This robot is 1000F depth rated. It weighs under 9kg, so you can easily take it around. The Blueye X3 has a HD Tilt camera. It can operate in rough conditions with automatic heading and depth management.
Here is another kit that teaches your kids STEM concepts through play. The Tart Robotics Orange Tart Soccer Robot is LEGO compatible. It comes with 3 powerful motors and a rechargeable battery. Kids get to program this robot through a visual programming interface. Story-driven challenge cards are available to teach kids basic programming concepts.
