The TurtleBot 4 is a mobile robot designed for researchers and developers. It has an iRobot Create 3 robot base and uses a Raspberry Pi 4 computer running Ubuntu, ROS 2 and on-board sensor drivers. It also has a 2D LiDAR and front-facing stereo camera. It can be expanded with additional sensors and modules.
Meet Cobi from Cobionix: a smart multi-sensing robot that can work safely along humans. As this video from the company shows, the robot can perform injections autonomously. The idea is to use robots like this for mass vaccination at clinics.
The robot uses LiDAR for position tracking. It perform needleless injection and ejects used vials after the process.

Meet the Care-O-bot 4: a smart robot designed to support the nursing staff at senior care centers. The robot is capable of recognizing people and uses machine learning to determine what they are doing to adapt. As you can see in the below video, this robot can fetch empty bottles from rooms, take them to the kitchen and bringing them back to the residents’ room.
Meet the DashGo D1-50: a mobile robot with intelligent navigation that can handle 50kg of load. It has max speed of 0.8 m/s with 6 hour battery life time. It uses ultrasonic sensors to stay out of trouble. This mobile robot is ready for ROS.
Meet the AVO from ecoRobotix: a solar powered weeding robot can handle handle up to 10 hectares per day. It uses high precision spraying to only target weeds without damaging crops. It also reduces the amount of herbicide used.
This autonomous robot has a 4-wheel drive and can be controlled with a smartphone. It has a GPS, camera navigation system and smart weed detector. The robot doesn’t make a whole lot of noise and can perform at night.
Here is a robotic exoskeleton that you can buy to give you an assist when you go hiking or to make your workout sessions harder. The SPORTSMATE 5 has a lightweight design and can be worn comfortably all day. It has outdoor and fitness modes. In outdoor mode, you get up to 18 Nm assistance torque. The SPORTSMATE 5 uses 2 actuators to lift your legs and push them forward.
Here is another kit that can teach young learners more about coding and technology concepts. The WLkata 6-Axis Mini Robotic Arm Kit can be controlled with your phone. It is based on open hardware. It has an open API too. It has 6+1 DOF, payload capacity of 250ga and WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity.
Here is another AI robot that can teach kids and adults a thing or two about coding. The SunFounder PiCrawler is a robot for Raspberry Pi. It is ready for OpenCV, TensorFlow and Deep Learning projects. It can be programmed to twist, push up, and do other actions. This kit comes with a pan-tilt camera and ultrasonic module to follow objects and avoid obstacles.
