Here is a robotic exoskeleton that enables wheelchair users to stand up and walk again. The Wandercraft Atalante X emulates human walk and uses dynamic walking algorithms for safe rehabilitation. It simplifies gain training and helps users learn how to walk again.
Meet the TonyPi Pro: a Raspberry Pi 4B powered humanoid robot with AI vision that can take your Python programming to the next level. It can pick and place things with its hands and uses its camera to recognize and pick up colored blocks.
Robots are already doing many things for us, including picking and placing fragile items. This video from Ocado Technology shows On-Grid Robotic Pick in action. It is a robotic picking and packing solution for online grocery orders.
Meet the Smorobot Tank X11: an AI robot that cleans your pool, so you don’t have to. It has a cleaning efficiency of 1180 ft2/h. This robot has 188w suction power and runs on a 10,000mAh battery. It comes with intelligent path planning to cover every corner.
Here is another robotic lawnmower that can cut grass, so you don’t have to. The AYI WiFi Controlled Robot Lawn Mower comes with app connectivity. It has a 5200mAh battery that lasts up to 120 minutes. This robot can handle lawns up to 27000 square feet and terrains up to 37%.
This robot has spiral, edge cut, and random mowing patterns. It comes with lift, rain, bumper sensors and an electronic gyroscope for safe operation. It has a self-mulching function.
In the past few years, we have covered plenty of videos that show what Spot from Boston Dynamics is capable of. Teledyne FLIR Defense has teamed up with MFE Inspection Solutions to integrate the FLIR MUVE C360 Multi-gas Detector on the Spot Robot for remote monitoring of chemical threats in industrial environments.
The C360 is also compatible with drones, so it can be flowing in dangerous environments for real-time monitoring. The MUVE C360 detects and classifies airborne gas or chemical hazards to allow safety personnel to perform their job more efficiently.
