In the future, humanoid robots are going to collaborate to get things done. MagicBot has shared a video that shows humanoid robots mastering tasks like inspections, assembly, and transport. These robots use advanced vision sensors to identify and transport items. They have end to end vision for 360-degree environment perception. The below video shows them in action:
Here is a smart robotic mower that can overcome 75% slopes. The Mower S1 is a 4WD robotic mower with adjustable cutting height from 1.5 to 4.3 inches. It also has a cutting width of 21 inches. It has a 1612cfm vacuum module to collect leaves and debris. It can operate smoothly on uneven and hilly areas.
Here is a robotic rat that uses AI to befriend real rodents. It was developed by researchers at Beijing Institute of Technology in China. It has two front arms, a bionic spine that allows it to take various body postures. It uses wheels instead of hind legs to boost its speed.
We have heard a lot about Tesla’s Optimus Robot in the past few weeks. There have been many demonstrations of it that have us excited. The latest one shows the robot walking on an uneven surface and maintaining its balance. As Elon Musk has explained on X, the robot uses neural networks to control its electric limbs as it walks on highly variable ground:
Optimus can now walk on highly variable ground using neural nets to control its electric limbs.

This is the Iron robot from XPENG: a smart humanoid robot with 200DoF that has more than 60 joints. These robots are already using technology from XPENG’s AI vehicles. It has a human-like structure with an XPENG Turing AI chip for cognitive tasks. It also uses a dynamic motor cortex for coordination.
This is the Ricky & Morty Butter Bot: a cute AI powered desk robot by CircuitMess & GeekClub with voice recognition that sees, hears, and chats with you. It is smart enough to recognize faces and voices and talks back with sound effects.
This is the ROLA PetPal: a modular AI pet robot that uses a 2.5k 5MP camera to capture your pet’s special moments in high resolution. It can be remote controlled with a smartphone. This robot can play laser and other games with your pets. It can also automatically capture and edit your videos.
This is the KR QUANTEC HC: a robot with high payload that is designed for medical technology applications. It has a reach up to 2700mm with brakes in the axes for greater safety. This robot has a pressure sensor and counterbalancing system. It has a pressure sensor to look for anomalies to stop the robot in case of an emergency.
Meet the Bittle X: a palm-sized, open source programmable robot dog with voice and app control. It supports block-based, C++, and Python programming. It has over 35 predefined actions, so it can sit, play dead, and backflip. It also has 10 additional programmable voice commands. The below video shows it in action:
