Here is another educational robot made to introduce you to programming concepts. MARK is an AI robot made for kids ages 12+. It gives users hands on experience on image recognition, object detection, and computer vision. It is ready for MicroPython and graphical programming.
Medical professionals have to deal with needles for all kinds of minimally invasive treatments such as biopsies. Team CoNeeBot is aiming to make needles smarter. Their goal is to develop a smart needle that recognizes its environment and connects to a robot to allow doctors to quickly position it.
Drones are already being tested to deliver medicine to remote areas. In NASA’s second Systems Integration and Operationalization (SIO) demonstration, a remotely-piloted APT 70 unmanned drone was used to complete a medical transport mission. In the future, such aerial vehicle can be used to transport blood, organs, and perishable medical supplies up to 70lbs.
Here is another robot kit that combines with a Raspberry Pi to teach you a thing or two about coding. The Freenove Big Hexapod Robot comes with live video, face recognition, and self-balancing function. It works with Pi 4B, 3B+, and other models. It can be controlled with your iPhone or Android device.
Ghost Robotics‘ robot dogs are nothing new. They have gotten a lot of coverage in the media. They are now being tested at Tyndall Air Force Base. These computerized canines are designed to help in reconnaissance and patrolling operations around the base.
There is no better way to learn about drones than building and programming your own. The TR-D5 RC Drone Building Blocks Kit comes with everything you need to build your own drone. It takes about 8 minutes to put together and can perform 3D flips and tricks indoors and outside.
The TR-D5 drone has a LED light to help you see in dark places. This kit comes with 48x building blocks and a 400mAh battery.
Meet the DJI Agras T20: an agricultural drone with 20L load capacity that can cover 12 hectares per hour. It has a 4-channel independent flow control for even application. The drone has an omnidirectional radar with 360-degree 3D scene reconstruction that enable it to avoid obstacles autonomously.
Plenty of people are finding themselves more isolated than ever. Cuddly robots like the SnuggleBot can help keep them company. It comes with a soft fur and pouch for heat pad. It wiggles its flippers to ask for engagement. Its horn changes color to show how the robot feels. The robot flaps its tail when hugged.
Here is a quadruped robot with decentralized spinal reflexes that can mimic animal locomotion. As Yoichi Masuda explains, the research team developed artificial muscles, receptors, and neurons without any microprocessors or software-based controllers for this project.
