Meet the D’Kitty robot: 12 DOF quadruped robot with 4 legs mounted on a square base. The feet are 3D printed parts with rubber ends. The robot is designed for studying locomotion. The robot is symmetric along all 3 axes and can walk upside down too.
Here is another smart robot car with mecanum wheels that can move in all directions. The EMOZNY Mecanum Wheel Robot works with Raspberry Pi and Arduino. You don’t need any welding to get started. The chassis comes with various mounting holes for sensors and modules.
Meet the Miko 2 robot: an advanced personal robot designed to teach your kids new things. It comes with stories, games, and activities for an interactive learning experience. The robot has a wide-angle IPS display dual speakers, various sensors, and a wide-angle HD camera. It uses computer vision to identify and remember faces and objects.
There is no better way to learn about robots and coding than building and programming your own. The Octo-Bouncer by Electron Dust is certainly creative. It is DIY robot that uses 120 FPS OpenCV image processing and smooth stepper motors to keep bouncing a ball.
Meet the Kinova Gen3 lite: a robot arm with open end effector interface module that you can set up in under 30 minutes. It can be used with an optional 2D/3D vision module for complex tasks. The robot weighs 7.2g and has a reach of 902mm.
So you are serious about AI development? The SparkFun JetBot AI Kit v2.0 can help. It is based on Jetson Nano Developer Kit V3 by NVIDIA. It comes with everything you need to program it to follow lines and avoid obstacles. In addition to Jetson GPIO Python library, you get JetBot ROS, AWS RoboMaker with AWS IoT Greengrass to build connected robots.
Robots automating 3D printing tasks is nothing new. We have covered a bunch of them in the past. The CRI Group posted a video that shows a robotic system for automated decaking of 3D printed parts (removing residual powder that sticks to parts).
Meet the 6WD Mobile Explorer Robot: an all-terrain robot with steel construction and 6 gear motors that can navigate rough terrain. It has 6 semi-pneumatic wheels and 2-channel control system. This is a wonderful platform for RC projects and combat robots.
Meet the MLT-JR robot: a DeWalt powered tracked robot with a lightweight, highly maneuverable design that can reach speeds up to 2.26mph and move 15lbs on most terrain. It has IG32P 24V DC 190RPM gear motors, a Sabertooth Dual 12A RC motor driver, and a FLYSKY FS-i6 6-channel transmitter and receiver.
We hear about dangerous viruses and diseases like COVID-19 all the time. One way to prevent catching it is by cleaning every surface in your home. The ROCKUBOT can help. It is a bacteria killing robot with 24 sensors that can eliminate 99.99% of bacteria, germs, and mites.
