Adopting cats is lots of fun but cleaning their litter box isn’t. Circle Zero is a litter box robot that cleans cat waste, so you don’t have to. It has a scoop that rotates 360-degree to catch and deposit clumped up litter and waste into the back of the unit.
Robotic prosthetic hands are getting smarter all the time. Take the BrainCo Dexus Robotic Hand for instance: it learns unlimited gestures using AI algorithms and is smart enough to sense what you want to do through sensors in your limb.
Meet the Yeefun Sorting AGV V: a robot for logistics that uses a camera, mapping, and self-learning to receive ground surface information. It operates without needing a reflector or magnetic strip. These robots can adapt to new environments easily. The below video shows it in action:
Meet the SILVER2 Aquatic Robot: a bot by researchers from the BioRobotics Institute, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna and Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn that can walk on the seafloor while taking videos. It can negotiate muddy and rocky surfaces. Its movement is inspired by lobsters.
Astro Boy is pretty iconic in Japan. You can now own this Sitting Atom Astro Boy Robot. It can sing, dance, and talk in Japanese. The robot comes with AI and can remember up to 12 people’s faces. You can use its chest to watch YouTube.
In the future, we will use more sophisticated rovers for planetary exploration. Georgia Tech is working with NASA to create a scaled-down planetary robot that can work itself out of a jam. It is inspired by NASA’s RP15 rover. The rover has appendages that can lift and wiggly wheels.
There is no better way to learn coding and robotics than building your own robots. Stuff Made Here has come up with a robotic basketball hoop that makes it harder to miss shots. This backboard adjusts to make sure your shot goes in.
Meet the NavVis VLX: an indoor mobile mapping system with Velodyne LiDAR sensors to capture accurate data points. It has a lightweight, ergonomic design for data capture in complex environments such as construction sites. Its software uses advanced SLAM technology to deliver survey-grade point cloud quality.
Seeding drones are nothing new. The idea has been explored in the past. XAG has joined hands with DELWP and HDLN for a post-fire drone seeding mission in Australia. 3 P Series drones were equipped with JetSeed granule spreading system to distribute seeds directly on Lake Cobrico. Within 2 days, 40 hectares of burned land were covered with a blend of 12 different seeds.
Meet the Cinematic Boxfish ROV: an underwater robot for serious photography and video in any body of water. It features 10-bit LOG recording and monitoring. It also has 120-frames per second and RAW recording options.
