There is no better way to master drones than designing and building your own. The CoaxCopter is an experimental aircraft with coaxial counter-rotating motors with large propellers. This video from amazingdiyprojects shows it in action:
Here is a robot dog made for industrial applications. The Jueying X20 can handle 40kg of load. It can operate with 20kg of load for 2 hours. The robot can step over a 18cm obstacle and climb 30 degree slopes. It comes with a laser radar and depth sensing camera.
Meet the SmartSlydr: a motorized robotic system that can automate any sliding window and door. It combines with your smartphone to let you know the status of your door. It works with Alexa, Google, and Siri. You can operate and check multiple doors and windows through the app.
Meet the mechArm: a Raspberry Pi driven 6-axis robot arm ready for all kinds of tasks. It supports multiple end effectors and can be programmed in Python. It also supports block based programming. This robot can draw, write, play games, and lift lightweight items.
Meet the Dusty FieldPrinter: a neat robot that navigates job sites autonomously and draws straight lights with 1/16″ accuracy. It also comes with path planning and an obstacle avoidance system. It automates the layout process to help construction businesses become more operationally efficient.
Here is another robot that can 3D print a home faster than traditional ways. The Frank 3D printer from Apis Cor has a compact design and can build buildings up to 3 stories tall. It has a tablet controlled platform. Frank has a rugged, lightweight design and works on sand, grass, and gravel.
Meet the LattePanda Alpha: a palm sized single-board computer powered by Windows that you can use for your robots and other projects. It comes with an Intel quad core processor, 3 x USB ports, and WiFi. It has an Arduino co-processor too.
In the future, you may be able to rely on a Tesla Bot to automate repetitive tasks such as grocery shopping. According to Elon Musk, the company already has all the ingredients to make an AI humanoid robot. It is a human friendly robot standing 5′ 8″. It has 45lb carry capacity and max speed of 5mph, so you can probably outrun it.
Atlas from Boston Dynamics has gotten a lot of coverage in the media in the past. It is a dynamic humanoid robot that exhibits human-like agility. It has a compact mobile hydraulic system with 28 joints. It uses 3D printed parts, weighing only 89kg. It has a max speed of 1.5m/s.
The above video shows how Atlas can take on an obstacle course like a parkour pro.
