Here is another educational robot that can teach you a thing or two about coding. This Arduino 12DOF Bionic Cat comes with Android control. It has a 3D printed body and runs on 18650 batteries batteries. This 4-legged robot has 12 degrees of freedom.
Here is another robot kit that comes with everything your kids need to build their own self driving AI car. The Wheelson gives users hands on experience. Simply connect it to your computer to program it to drive on small roads. This robot car takes 4 hours to make. It comes with WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity.
Meet Pudu’s BellaBot: a delivery robot that can be used to serve customers at restaurants. It comes with laser SLAM navigation and 3D omnidirectional obstacle avoidance. It has obstacle detection frequency of up to 5400 times per minute.
Meet the Mini Vantage from Transcend Robotics: a micro robot that can be used for swat, patrol, and other similar activities. This automatic obstacle climbing robot can be used without prior training to enter a building and learn what is happening. It comes with a color camera and LED bar for night vision. It lasts up to 3 hours on battery.
The Mini Vantage robot is rain and dust proof. It can climb obstacles up to 6 inches.

Meet the XR AI Dog Mini: a robot dog with voice control and face recognition. It comes with smartphone control but you can also program it with drag & drop on your PC. This robot is smart enough to recognize digits, objects, and QR codes. It can maintain its posture on uneven surfaces.
Meet the GoFa: a collaborative robot with 5k payload capacity that can take on repetitive tasks. It has intelligent sensors in each joint to stop within milliseconds if contact is detected. It has a top speed of 2.2m/s. The GoFa has lead-through programming and a two-button interface, so it doesn’t require a deep learning curve.
Meet the OpenCV OAK-D-Lite: a computer vision kit ready for all kinds of robotics, machine learning, and AI projects. It comes with a stereo depth camera, 4K camera, and an AI processor. It has an Intel Movidius Myriad X chip. It supports ROS1 and ROS2.
Meet the Honda Avatar Robot: an upcoming robot with a multi-fingered hand that will be going through testing in the next few years with a view of being released in the next decade. It can pick up small objects with its fingertips but can also open jar lids like the human hand.
As the company explains:
in order to enable its multi-fingered hand to grasp an object smoothly in one sequence of moves and handle a tool with precise control of force, Honda is working on the further advancement of its original AI-supported remote control function.
