Here is a tiny robot that can toggle switches and press keys, so you don’t have to. Fingerbot Plus comes with app control. It can be installed in seconds and has convenient touch & voice control. It can be used to put your devices and lights on schedule. With loops, you can set this robot to click your keys or buttons every few minutes.
Here is another coding robot that can teach your kids programming. The Makeblock mBot Neo robot is ready for Scratch and Python programming. It has a 4-core MCU with WiFi and Bluetooth modules. It has strong motors and durable metal parts.
Meet Mr.Doctor from Aobo Robotics: it is a smart programmable robot that can read smart cards, recognize faces, speak to your visitors, and guide them. It comes with WiFi, Bluetooth, and 4G connectivity and lasts up to 9 hours on battery.
Meet the Dexarm Maker: a desktop robotic arm by Rotrics that can 3D print, laser engrave, cut, and draw. It has a modular design, so you can set it up for a new task fast. It has a 0.5mm repeatability. You can use its 3.5″ touchscreen display to check the status of the robot.
We have already seen many robots that can fight alongside humans and save lives on the battlefield. Army is working a technique that enables robots to remain resilient when losing communication on the battlefield. The a-shape technique is all about resolving goal conflicts between multiple robots. This is done through
sharing their next task with the team, and select team members will remember this information, allowing other robots to ask if any other robot will perform that task without needing to communicate directly with the robot that selected the task… Each robot is assigned a bounding shape representing the area of the environment that they are caching goal locations for, which enables a quick search in the communications network to find the robot that would know if there were any goals requested in that area.
This approach enables robots to make decisions about next tasks without checking on the rest of the team. More info is available here.
Here is a hand training robot that helps speed up recovery. The Techcare Hand Robot (HR-30) is a hand rehabilitation robot that can assist with the movement of each finger. You can customize each finger training to match your progress. The HR-30 is ready for mirror therapy. It also has an air compression massager to reduce muscle stiffness.
Here is another Raspberry Pi robot that can introduce your kids to the basics of coding. The TTS Pi2Go robot can be programmed and controlled using WiFi. It is ready for Python and Scratch. It is powered by a RPi Model B+.
Here is a multi-camera drone that uses multiple cameras on its body for omnidirecitonal visual recognition, self localization and obstacle avoidance. It can switch between VS and VO for collision avoidance and self localization.
Here is another Raspberry Pi robot kit that helps you take your coding and electronics skills to the next level. The LABISTS Raspberry Pi Robot Car comes with a HD camera and obstacle avoidance system. It can be controlled with an iOS and Android device.
Here is another collaborative robot arm that you can program via drag & drop. The FRANKA EMIKA Panda 7DOF Robot Arm is bench mounted and has integrated joint modules. It has torque sensors in all seven axes. You can teach it by hand and edit parameters.
With Desk, you can easily program the robot by rearranging blocks. More information is available here.
