Meet the OnRobot VG1 robot gripper: an electric vacuum gripper designed for constrained environments and smaller robot arms. It has payload of 15 kg too. You get easily changeable suction cup options and can add or replace arms for specific tasks.
Here is a fully robotic super tank that can turn on a dime and take on challenging missions while running silent. The Ripsaw M5 is very fast and mobile. It can negotiate rough terrain no problem. It houses a 173mmx30mm cannon and a whole host of other smart features.
Here is another cool little robot that can teach your kids basic coding skills. The Matatalab Lite Robot has 3 modes (control, coding, and sensor modes). It has a robotic car with a wireless controller.
Robots are going to take over a lot of jobs in the future. They are already capable of cooking and serving food. Picnic’s Pizza Robot is a modular system that can make 300 x 12″ pizzas every hour. With mobile integration and consistency, you can reduce wait times and serve your customers better.
Meet the Makeblock mTiny robot: a coding robot for kids aged 4+ that improves their logical thinking and problem solving skills. It comes with tap to code cards for easy programming. No need to use a PC or mobile device to use this.
mTiny comes with a tap pen controller, an interactive map, and various coding games. You get 36 coding cards and golf/racing games and music cards.
Meet FANUC’s CRX-10iA robot: a collaborative robot with up 10kg load capacity. The CRX-10iA and CRX-10iA/L provide a reach of 1249mm and 1418mm respectively and come with a R-30iB Plus Mini Controller. You can connect third-party grippers to do more with these robots.
Raspberry Pi is a wonderful platform for learning coding and electronics. The AlphaBot2 is a robot powered by Pi 3 Model B+ that can follow lines, avoid obstacles, and do a whole lot more. It has a modular design and comes with WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity.
Meet the P-GUARD: a rugged security robot designed for multi-terrain applications. It comes with 360-degree real-time recording, thermal anomaly detection, and 24/7 autonomous operation. It can patrol and surveil plants, campuses, ports, wind farms, and everything in between.
Robotic insects are nothing new. We have covered a bunch of them here in the past. Researchers at EPFL have come up with an ultra-light robotic insect that can survive being flattered by a flyswatter. It has soft artificial muscles that enable it to move at 3cm per second.
Here is another robot kit for Raspberry Pi that lets you build your own robot tank. The XiaoR Geek Raspberry Pi Robot Tank comes with a 720p camera, tank tracks, WiFi adapter, and app control. You can interact with the robot from your iOS/Android/PC.
