This is the Unitree Go2-w: a cool wheeled-legged robot dog that can overcome large obstacles and stairs. This agile robot can adapt to various terrains to its clever design. It has max speed of up to 2.5m/s with 3kg payload capacity. It is powered by a 8-core processor and uses 7-inch pneumatic tires.
This is the MatataStudio Nous AI: a STEM robot that can be programmed with Python and Scratch. It comes with a smart hub, camera and servo motor. This robot has various sensors, including an accelerometer and gyroscope sensor. The hub has programmable touch buttons. The Nous AI can be built in 20 minutes. It offers ChatGPT integration, so the robot can communicate with kids and draw.
This is the iRonCub3: a jet powered humanoid robot based on the iCub 3. This robot has been modified with its tendons removed and sensors integrated in the jetpacks. As the below video shows, this robot is currently being tested. Artificial and Mechanical Intelligence and the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia researchers are behind this.
This is the KT2 Kungfu Turtle: a tiny fighter robot that can teach kids coding too. It can also serve as your desktop companion, acting as your Pomodoro timer or stretch reminder. It is easy to assemble and flexible limbs for stunts. You can program this using a block-based interface.
Plenty of companies are using robots for inspections. This dual-arm robot is designed for train inspection. It has an omnidirectional mobile robot that moves in 360-degrees. It has 2 x 6DOF robotic arms and uses AI to get the job done with accuracy. The mobile base has a 80kg payload with max speed of 1.5m/s.
This is the Hydrus: an autonomous underwater drone that makes underwater data capture easy. It is ready to go out of the box without extensive training. It is based on an open platform and has an intuitive software for planning underwater missions. This robot lets you use your own software. It is compact enough to be launched by a single person.
Here is a robot that can make repeatable shots with accuracy. Hyundai’s self-adjusting shooting robot has adjustable launch angle and power intensity. It can hit the same spot multiple times. It can also detect defective arrows.
The company is also displaying customized 3Dprinted bow grips and a camera based heart rate sensor at the The Path of An Archer event.

Robotic massagers are nothing new. We have covered a bunch of them here in the past. Aescape is a dual arm robotic massager that uses high fidelity sensors to map your body and provide you with a personalized experience. It has adjustable features for each body zone. It uses 4 infrared sensors to create a 3D map of your body’s contours.
Here is a cool robot with a tensegrity design that uses pneumatic artificial muscles to move. Designed by Suzumori Endo Lab researchers, the robot uses its soft structure and those artificial muscles to move on the ground. It can also jump off of a bench. The below video shows it in action:
The robot changes its shape pneumatically to get rolling on the ground. Ryota Kobayashi, Hiroyuki Nabae, and Koichi Suzumori are behind this project.
