Follow Robotic Auto Tracking Phone Mount with Facial Recognition
Meet Follow by Edgee: a phone mount that uses facial recognition to keep users in the frame during their livestreams as they move. It comes with a ring light to improve the quality of your videos. Follow can track movement from 10cm to 4 meters away.
SOTO 2 Mobile Robot for Material Handling
Meet Soto 2 by Magazino: a versatile robot for material handling. It can work up to 20 hours a day. It comes with sensors, 3D cameras, and a smart AI operating system. The SOTO 2 robot can grasp load carriers weighing up to 20kg.
Vision 60 v4 Bomb Disruptor Robot
Ghost Robotics’ Vision 60 robot is an all-terrain 4-legged robot with a whole host of smart function. The Vision 60 v4 Q-UGV is now capable of taking on EOD disposal tasks. This video shows how the robot can be enhanced with ZeroPoint’s TiTAN Disruptor+Chute for recoil control.
Latest partnership w/ @ZeroPointUSA. #Robots for EOD/Bomb techs. Ghost’s V60 #QUGV w/ ZeroPoint’s TiTAN Disruptor+Chute for recoil control. Smooth! Filmed at @DEStatePolice training center. Thx to Sgt. Ennis & team for hosting us. #PublicSafety #Police #SWAT #Military #CBRNe pic.twitter.com/1a2JmZW29D

Docking 2 Drones in Mid-Air Using Relative Position Measurements
Docking drones in mid-air is easier said that done. With the rise of modular robots, midair docking is becoming quite necessary. HiPeR Lab researchers have developed a way to dock multirotors in mid-air using relative position measurements from computer vision.
This Gamer Got a Metal Gear Solid Bionic Arm
Remember the Hero Arm? It is a robotic prosthetic arm with 8kg lifting capacity that can make life easier for amputees. Daniel Melville, a one-handed gamer has gotten a Metal Gear Solid version of it. Open Bionics teamed with KONAMI for this project.
Collaborative Robot Cable Management System
Dealing with cables comes with its own challenges. We have all had to deal with tangled cables when dealing with electronics. Robots can also have these issues. Dress packs used on robots can become problematic when cables are too tight or loose. ADDRESS is a robotic system that addresses e-stops and tangling.
DelFly Nimble Tailless Flapping Wing Robot
Meet the DelFly Nimble: a tailless flapping wing robot that uses a single small camera and tiny processor to fly autonomously. This drone weighs around 30g. It has a VL53L0X range sensor, ESP8266 WiFi module, and a vision system consisting of a monocular camera and STM32F4 microprocessor.
Robotic Snake Device Developed to Grip, Pick Up Fragile Objects
In the past few years, we have covered plenty of bio-inspired robots that can take on a variety of tasks. UNSW researchers have developed a robotic device that works like a snake or an elephant’s trunk to grip and pick up objects. It can be used to handle fragile objects such as food items.
This Robot Simulates Hand Holding
Here is a robot designed to simulate hand holding with a girlfriend or wife. Designed by Japanese engineers, Osampo Kanojo has a special rail around its elbow that mimics push and pull motion, simulating the weight of a person. It has a soft skin that maintains the temperature of a human body.
