Meet the Baubot: a mobile robotic system that can take on a variety of tasks on construction sites. It has a base that can take on rough terrain. It has a open, modular platform. The Baubot has laser leveling with 1mm precision, 500kg load capacity, and smartphone control. It can take on welding, bricklaying, metal handling, and other tasks.
Here is another drone that lets you capture smooth aerial video. The DJI Air 2S Quadcopter comes with 5.4K video capability and 3-axis stabilization. It has 4 directions of obstacle sensing. It can fly for 31 minutes on battery and has a video transmission range of 7.5 miles.
Meet the AMBER B1: a 7-axis collaborative robotic arm with 3kg payload and 0.05mm repeatability that can automate your production. It weighs only 7.8kg and has a reach of 581mm. The AMBER B1 has a modular design with actuators that can be independently replaced.
Remember Spot from Boston Dynamics? It is a wonderful robot capable of taking on inspection, search & rescue, and other tasks. The New York Police Department is using one to provide an extra layer of protection for the officers. Named Digidog, the robot was recently deployed to respond to an armed home invasion in the Bronx.
Meet Robby: a robotic arm with hydraulic drive that teaches your kid a thing or two about robots. Its parts are made with 3D printing. The kit consists of hoses, hydraulic cylinders, and everything you need to get started.
Here is a Raspberry Pi project that involves using motion capture to control an animated skull. The two Raspberry Pis used in this project communicate over WiFi using XMLRPC. As ViennaMike explains, an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor and a Maestro Servo Controller were used to have the skull mimic the head movements of the operator.
Meet the Narwal T10: a smart robotic vacuum and mop with WiFi and app control that gets rid of stains and dirt on your floors. It has dual rounded triangle spin mops that rotate at 180 rpm. This robot has a base with 2-bucket system that separates waste and clean water.
Meet the Evatech 22T Solar Robotic Lawn Mower: a powerful machine engineered to mow underneath solar power plants. It has a low profile of only 18.5 inches. It uses 2 x 3-phase 48Volts Brushless DC motor trimmer arms.
In the past few years, we have covered plenty of robot based haptic systems that let users feel objects in virtual reality. EncounteredLimbs explores a room-scale encounter-type haptic system using wearable robotic arms. The idea is to enhance physical interaction without needing specialized devices.
