Boston Dynamics’ Spot is one of the most advanced robot dogs on the market. It is not the only game in town though. The AlphaDog is a 5G connected AI robot dog that can deliver packages and serve customers in places of business autonomously. AlphaDog can also patrol parks and even guide a blind person.
Remember Eve? It is an advanced humanoid research robot from Halodi Robotics. It comes with 23DOF and 8kg payload per arm. It also has force and impedance control on all its joints. This robot can be used for mobile manipulation, social interaction, pick & place, healthcare, and other applications.
This video from Halodi Robotics shows how Even can serve as a robot security guard. It can be deployed to specific areas in the building and supports VR teleoperation.

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.
