Meet Mantis: a haptic robot arm by Bristol’s team of engineers that offers force feedback at an affordable price. It has 3D printed case mounts, magnetic/absolute encoders, brushless motors, and a 3D printed base. Using this robotic arm, you will be able to touch & feel virtual objects.
So you would like to take your smartphone video chats to the next level? Rimo is just the device for the job. It is a 360-degree video chat device that can recognize hand gestures. It connects to your phone and lets the person on the other side control it with hand gestures.
Here is another telepresence robot that helps you stay connected with people at remote locations. The PadBot P2 robot stands 1.1m tall and has a 10″ screen. It automatically wakes up at a distance of 2 meters. The robot has a tilting & rising head with 30-degree movement.
Here is a robot that can build large structures using tiny little pieces. It can work together with other assembler robots for more complex structures. These robots look like a small arm and move around like inchworms. BILL-E (Bipedal Isotropic Lattice Locomoting Explorer) can assemble 3D structures.
We have already covered a bunch of robots that can solve Rubik’s Cube puzzles fast. Most of them use advanced algorithms to get it done. Researchers at OpenAI have trained a robotic hand to manipulate a cube with great dexterity. It uses a reinforcement-learning algorithm to work the cube. All the training was done in simulation.
Remember Skydio 2: it is a smart drone with NVIDIA Jetson artificial intelligence that can track 10 objects at a time. It has an autonomous speed of 36mph. It has a smart motorized charging station too. The Skydio 2 Dock is a self-contained weatherproof charging station that fits in a suitcase and can be set up in minutes.
Meet the GT Wonder Boy: a smart humanoid robot with AI that can keep your kids entertained. It has a touch sensor on its helmet for easy interaction. The robot can understand voice commands. It can speak and translate 12 languages. With deep learning, the robot can learn new thins to better serve you.
GT Wonder Boy can tell stories or be programmed with graphical programming. It can dance, make calls, take a photo, and do a whole lot more.
There are many decent robotic mowers on the market. Most of them require some sort of boundary system to operate. The Mora Robotic Mower uses AI to get the job done with no additional installation. Mora has a drop & mow design. Just drop it on any grassy surface, and the rest is easy.
QNA is behind unmanned systems for the defense market. It has now partnered with Pratt and Miller Defense for the Robotic Combat Vehicle Program at the 2019 Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting. They will modify the Expeditionary Modular Autonomous Vehicle to meet the requirements for this program.
