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.
Meet LOLA: it is an electrically actuated humanoid robot with 26 distributed joints that can be used for research. It weighs 68kg and stands 176cm tall. The below video shows how the robot can keep its balance on different terrain, including soft and hard ground. The robot is technically blind, so it is not using a camera based approach.
Here is another weeding robot that can help farmers increase yield and prevent damage to their crops. Carbon Robotics’ Autonomous Weeder Robot has powerful lasers to destroy weeds. It offers real-time targeting and can run day & night. It also has on-board high-resolution cameras.
This autonomous weeder can kill over 100,000 weeds per hour. The above GIF shows it in action.

Meet the GPK-32 robot from SDRRobots: it is an inspection robot that can explore hard to reach areas and places that may not be safe to enter for humans. It comes with HD video recording. You can view everything on the included 7″ monitor.
We all hear about people not wanting to reinvent the wheel. Engineers have been trying to do just that with shape changing origami wheels. These types of wheels are not new but don’t always have high load capacity. These high–load capacity origami transformable wheels can bear 10-kilonewton load.
Meet the Jueying Mini Lite: another robot dog capable of moving and recovering with agility. It can walk, run, dance, and perform backflips. It also has a self-righting function, so it can recover fast. The Jueying Mini Lite comes with autonomous navigation and is smart enough to follow a human.
The robot is equipped with a depth camera. It has forward and back active braking.
