Meet the SMP Robotics Picard: a security robot for golf courses that can patrol the area and automatically detect people. It can navigate different terrain such as sand, grass, and gavel. It is equipped with a PTZ camera that rotates and detects people at a distance of up to 100m.
Meet the Apex Baker-Bot: a robotic cake decorator that can easily integrate into existing cake lines. It has a user-friendly interface for easy programming. It can be set up to load and unload pans onto conveyors and baking racks, decorate cakes, and pick and place items with precision.
Meet the Ori Cloud Bed Sofa Edition: a robotic ceiling bed that turns your living room into a bedroom at the touch of a button. The Cloud Bed simply lets you store more things in less space. It can move a queen or king size bed and has a modular design.
Meet the Adeept RaspTank-Pro: a Raspberry Pi robot kit that can teach you a thing or two about programming. The RaspTank-Pro is ready for Raspberry Pi 4, 3B, and 3B+. It has a 3DOF robotic arm, OpenCV tracking, and video transmission.
REE Automotive is out with 3 new fully modular platforms (P1, P2, P4) for EVs of the future. All of them have REEcorner “which powers full X-by-Wire technology for steering, braking and drive, and integrates all drivetrain, powertrain, suspension and steering components into the arch of the wheel” to enable a flat chassis.
Meet XTEND’s SKYLORD HUNTER system: a drone designed to catch hostile drones with a net. It has air-to-air interception capabilities and instant GPS acquisition to target rogue drones. It allows the operators to control it with augmented and virtual reality goggles.
Meet the Flippy ROAR: an advanced robotic kitchen assistant that can learn menu items and assist restaurants serve their customers better in a post-pandemic world. It is mounted on an overhead rail to stay out of the way of kitchen staff. The robot has a web-based application for easy interaction.
Plenty of companies are developing robots to help take stress and load off workers. The ATOUN MODEL Y is developed by Panasonic’s venture company ATOUN. It detects the movement of the body with a sensor and uses a waist-position motor to reduce burden on the waist during work. The below videos shows this robotic exoskeleton in action:
Here is another robot inspired by nature that can swim untethered under water. Engineers at the University of California San Diego developed this squid-like robot for underwater exploration. It can carry a sensor, including a camera. The robot carries its power source inside its body.
Meet the Fanfry: a camera drone that doubles as a fan. It also has a handle that can charge your phone or drone. Fanfry’s stand turns it into a desktop fan with 3 modes.
