Remember Milrem Robotics’ THeMIS? It is a UGV that can be combined with a weapon station to take on the enemy on the battlefield. It can be adapted to search, rescue, and reconnaissance missions. This ground robot can follow its operator and carry up to 750kg load.
This video shows THeMIS taking a flight in a helicopter on its way to its destination in Mali during operation Barkhane:

Meet Reachy from Pollen Robotics: an open source interactive robot with Python API that can be programmed to take on a wide variety of tasks. It has an expressive head, bio-inspired arm, and open hardware/software/data platform. It also comes with mic/speaker for audio interaction.
Meet the PowerEgg X: a gorgeous smart drone that doubles as a personal AI camera with 3-axis stabilization. It uses smart algorithms and robotics tech for facial recognition, deep learning and 170-degree tracking field of view.
Teaching robots to keep themselves balanced can be quite complex on their own. Getting them to balance a pendulum is a whole other story though. This video from Tobias Glück shows a robot balancing a triple pendulum on a cart.
Here is a cool robot building kit that can be used to make 4 industrial robot models. The fischertechnik ROBO TX Automation Robots kit has 470 parts and an instructional activity booklet. You can use this to make a high rack storage system, a 3-axis robot or 2 grappler robots.
Meet the V-Coptr Falcon: a V-shaped Bi-copter that can achieve 50-minute flight time and shoot smooth 4K video thanks to its 3-axis stabilized gimbal. Thanks to its tilt rotor technology and advanced algorithms, this drone can achieve efficient flights.
Here is a gantry motion system that provides high speed and accurate performance in automation. The A-351 Gantry Motion System is made for industrial automation applications such as assembly, pick-and-place, alignment, and inspection.
Meet MARTY: an autonomous DeLorean that is being taught to drift and steer with the agility and precision of a human driver. The goal is to improve how autonomous cars can respond to hazardous situations on the road.
So you would like to build your own robot car with Arduino? The Feichao 4WD RC Robot Chassis has you covered. It comes with 4 wheels and 12v motors. It measures 20cm x 31.2cm x 8.5cm.
Digit is a pretty neat bipedal robot with 4DOF arms that can grab and move items. It is strong enough to pick up items up to 40lbs. As we have covered in the past, Digit v2 robots have dynamic obstacle avoidance too. This video shows how multiple Digit bots can work as a team.
