Chess robots are nothing new. We have covered a bunch of them that use a robotic arm under the board to move the pieces. The ChessBOT is a robotic chess player that uses an industrial robot arm above the board to play the game.
Meet the CocktailBOT: a robotic cocktail maker that can prepare and shake drinks for customers and bring their orders to them without human intervention. This video from DGWorld shows the CocktailBOT in action. It has a robotic arm to mix drinks and a tiny mobile robot to move the drinks.
Meet the Lydsto R1: a dust collection robot vacuum designed to keep your place clean. It has a robot vacuum and a dust collection station. The robot has a dual-core allwinner MR112 processor and uses a Lysmart V5 algorithm for autonomous positioning and navigation. It also comes with a 250ml electronically controlled water tank.
Meet the IRB 390 FlexPacker: ABB’s new delta robot with 5-axis capability that can help speed up picking and packing for faster order fulfillment.The IRB 390 FlexPacker delta robot has payload capacity of 15kg over 4 axis. It has a running speed of 100m / minute.
Robots are going to do many things for us in the future. They are already being used in labs around the world. This video from Denso Robotics shows how their partner bAhead GmbH is using robots to automate lab work. As you can see, this versatile robot arm can work all kinds of knobs and handle lab equipment reliably.
Here is a robotic floor scrubber designed for cleaning large spaces. The T16AMR Robotic Floor Scrubber has a wide scrub path and high tank capacity. It is designed to operate in complex environments without an operator. It connects to an onboard telemetry system for notifications.
Robots are already being used at various stores to scan, pick & place items, and serve customers. The TORU happens to be a mobile picking robot that can pick and place shoe boxes and other comparable items. It works alongside humans side by side. This video from Magazino shows the TORU robot in action:
Meet the V-BAT 128: a VTOL drone that can take on defense applications. It can transition from take off to a vertical hover and has a small footprint. The V-BAT 128 works on stationary and moving platforms. It has a remote-start 288cc 2-stroke EFI engine and 11+ hours of endurance. It has a max payload of 25 pounds.
The V-BAT 128 can reach 90+ knots reaching altitudes of 20,000 feet. You can find out more about it here.
