Here is a robot that can do anything your finger can do as far as pushing buttons and toggling switches. The Fingerbot Sense is available in Bluetooth and Zigbee modes. It comes with voice, app and touchless control. Its standard straight arm is great for activating anything that needs a push. With the rocker arm, you can use this robot to pull up and push down switches.
Here is an electric, silent drone that uses ion propulsion to move around. According to Undefined Technologies, the Silent Ventus concept aerial vehicle uses “the ion cloud surrounding it to generate high levels of ion thrust in atmospheric air.”
Arduino is a wonderful platform for learning and mastering electronics and coding. The GAR Colossus Starter Kit for Arduino Uno comes with over 100 parts and everything you need to build a smart robot car and try other advanced projects. It comes with Arduino-compatible Uno R3, Mega 2560, Nano V3, ESP8266 Node MCU & Uno R3 Wi-Fi, and ESP32 Dual WiFi + Bluetooth Developer boards. You also get 10 shields.
30 sensors are included in this kit, so you can use this for many complex projects. You also get other add-ons, such as OV7670 camera, smart car kit, and 2x Nema17 stepper motors.
Meet the Hiwonder PuppyPi: a Raspberry Pi 4B powered robot designed for more advanced students. It comes with machine vision capability and works with OpenCV. This robot is based on ROS and supports Gazebo simulation. It has an aluminum alloy and 8 coreless servos.
Meet the Einhell FREELEXO 300 Solo: a robot mower with Bluetooth and app control that can handle lawns up to 300m2. It can also overcome gradients up to 35%. This multi-zone robot lawnmower has impact, tilt, and lift sensors for safe operation. It can detect and avoid obstacles automatically.
Here is another robot that cleans your windows, so you don’t have to. The FMART T9 Window Cleaner Robot comes has a 20ml water tank and 12mm atomized water spray. It uses a high density fiber cloth to remove stubborn stains. It uses 3800pa suction power to stay put.
Meet the Arduino Braccio++: an advanced robotic arm for higher education that can be assembled in various ways to allow students to experiment. For instance, it can move objects and track movements with a camera. This robotic arm is built with recycled and eco-friendly EcoAllene plastic material.
The Arduino Braccio ++ has a Braccio Carrier with LCD screen and RS485 servo motors. It comes with an e-learning platform with step by step instructions and lessons. The robot has a USB programming port and programmable Digital I/Os.
Security cameras are getting smarter all the time. There are plenty of them that use AI to detect humans around your property to alert you. The Versonel Nightwatcher VSL95 Security Light Camera is also worth a look. It is a WiFi connected camera with 3 sensor zones that can detect and follow strangers around your place.
