Meet the Qodi: a LEGO compatible wireless programmable coding robot designed to teach young students basics of programming and robotics. It can be programmed via drag & drop but more advanced users can use Python and Java. This robot has a shockproof design. It can be enhanced with additional sensors.
Plenty of companies are working on perfecting robots for planetary and space exploration. The CubeRover is a lunar robot that can carry scientific instruments and other payloads on the surface of the moon. Astrobotic’s robot has a modular, scalable design.
Meet Delft Dynamics’ RH3 Swift: an unmanned helicopter designed to take on all kinds of aerial missions. It can be used to monitor hard to reach areas. As this video shows, the RH3 Swift can fly for 3 hours with max takeoff weight of 12.5kg.
Boston Dynamics robots are truly amazing and capable of taking on a wide variety of tasks. As it turns out, they also know how to party. This video from Boston Dynamics shows these robots dancing to celebrate the New Year:
Meet the TFmini-S: an affordable LiDAR for your DIY Raspberry Pi projects and robots. This single-point ranging LiDAR has a range of 0.1 to 12 meters with configurable frame rate of 1~1000Hz. It has a low consumption rate of 85mW, so you can use it for drones, robots with people and vehicle detection, and everything in between.
Meet the Butter Robot: a cute programmable robot with app control and 3 control modes that reacts to its environment and adapts to become self-aware over time. It has a pass-the-butter mode but you can also activate its pre-programmed moves to keep you entertained. You can also program it via a drag & drop interface.
Here is another robotic arm that can get you familiar with the basics of coding. The ZeKeep Arduino Robot Arm is a 3-axis robot arm with 0.5kg payload. It can be programmed via a graphical interface on your smartphone. You also get a convenient joystick to interact with the robot.
Here is another smart rehab robot designed for patients affected by neurological and musculoskeletal movement impairments. The rebless comes with app control. Care providers can use the rebless Clinic software to prescribe custom exercises to their patients.
