Remember the Moley Robotic Kitchen: it is a smart kitchen that uses robots to prepare a wide variety of dishes. It now comes with a motion capture system to replicate the actions of a chef. It can adapt to your diet restrictions.
In the past few months, we have covered plenty of videos that show what makes the Vision 60 Q-UGV special. Thanks to GeoSLAM’s ZEB 3D geospatial sensor, this quadruped robot can deliver more accurate scanning and mapping.
In the future, robots will be able to charge our cars in restricted areas. Take Volkswagens’ Mobile Charging Robot for instance: it operates autonomously and independently steers the vehicle to be charged. It takes care of opening the charging socket flap, connecting the plug, and removing it.
We have seen robots made of all kinds of materials in the past. IceBot explores the idea of making robots from ice. The challenge is to isolate the amount of heat generated while protecting waterproof sensitive components.
Here is another cute robot designed to teach your kids basics of coding. The Makeblock Codey Rocky Programmable Robot is ready for Python programming. It also connects to the mBlock app on iOS and Android to teach beginners basics of coding with building blocks.
Milrem Robotics has rolled out a new unmanned combat vehicle, ready to take on challenging missions. Milrem Robotics’ Type-X RCV can be fitted with a cannon up to 50mm. It is also air droppable with a 30mm cannon. The Type-X weighs 12 tons, 3/4 lighter than a conventional IFV.
Meet Zeus: a multi-action bionic hand that makes life easier for upper limb amputees. It has 12 selectable and 2 user configurable grip patterns. Zeus can be used without any additional cover or a silicone glove. EMG electrodes are used to provide signal processing and wireless gain adjustment.
The Zeus bionic hand has 5 motorized articulating digits for dexterity in movement. It has various grip modes.

Here is a robotic glove that augments the grasping force to make life easier for first responders. The Exo-Glove Power is controlled with a single EMG sensor. It supports continuous and repetitive power grasping.
Meet the Robo Wunderkind Explorer Pro: a robot kit designed to teach kids basics of coding. This 38-piece set is LEGO compatible. It has in-app instructions for 15 robots that can be controlled with a remote or with loops, conditions, and functions.
This particular set comes with distance/light/motion sensors, LED display push button, big wheels, smart motors, 3-axis accelerometer, line follower, and everything you need to build a smart robot.
