Here is another robot kit that can teach you a thing or two about electronics and coding. The Skayddb Programmable Robot Arm Kit has an aluminum alloy construction. It has 4 mecanum wheels to move in all directions. It has enough payload capacity to handle a bottle of coke.
Here is another smart LiDAR module that makes your robots smarter. The LD-AIR LiDAR sensor brings 360-degree sensing to your robot. It uses time of flight technique to detect distance properly within a 12m radius. The LD-AIR LiDAR can sense the surrounding environment with no dead corners. It collects 4500 times per second.
Here is a robot ant kit made to teach you more about coding. The Freenove Robot Ant is compatible with Arduino IDE. It can be controlled with an IR remote or iOS/Android device. This robot can move forward/backward, turn, and avoid obstacles.
Here is another robot kit that helps you run your own experiments. The Leo Rover 4WD Developer Kit is based on Raspberry Pi. It has a payload capacity of 5kg. It has a waterproof case for outdoor use. This rover has 4 in-hub DC motors. It drives on 4 x 130mm wheels.
This robot can overcome obstacles up to 70mm. It comes with live video streaming capability. It has a 5MP camera with a 170-degree field of view. It lasts up to 4 hours on battery.
Here is a smart robot arm with NVIDIA Jetson Nano that can track targets, classify objects, recognize gestures, identify emotion, calculate, and do a whole lot more. It has HD wide-angle camera and can be used with grippers, suction cup, pen holder, and other end effectors.
Here is another AI robot with Raspberry Pi for more advanced coding projects. The XiaoR Geek RPi Robot is powered by a Pi 4B board. It comes with a 1080p HD camera, Rplidar A1 radar and 3.5″ touchscreen display. It comes with SLAM navigation for autonomous movement.
Remember Digit from Agility Robotics? It can take on wet, muddy hills, avoid obstacles dynamically, and even deliver packages. The OSU Dynamic Robotics Laboratory’s research team has used machine learning tools to train the robot to run a full 5K on a single battery charge. The below video shows it in action:
Drones are already fun to fly on their own. With a Nerf gun, you can have even more fun with your kids. Cory’s project on Hackaday shows what it takes to build a Nerf drone. He used a Shendrones Squirt V2 for this project. Some of the parts were 3D printed. The motors are controlled with an Arduino Nano. The below video shows it in action:
Meet the Ximpatico Nabot AI Robot: a coding robot with an arm to grab and manipulate objects. It is ready for drag & drop programming but also has a Python SDK. This smart robot can be programmed to follow you, grab objects, play with your pets, and a whole lot more. It processes images from its camera using a neural network.
