KUKA robots have been used for plenty of amazing projects. As this video shows, a robot bartender is used to mix drinks for visitors. “Toni” is a KUKA robot that serves guests automatically.
In the past few months, we have been following the progress of the Star8 green technology funded EMAV. It is a drone that can take a human off the ground and fly them over short distances. Flying Kyxz has shared a video that this aerial vehicle tested in Tall Lake.
So you would like to build your robot tank? The Heneng Robot Tank Platform is worth a look. It doesn’t require any assembly and works with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other popular microcontrollers. It has 2 x 12V DC motors with max speed of 93RPM on load.
Meet the Nonapode: a robotic motion simulator with a very large workspace that uses 3 redundant degrees of freedom to “avoid the singularities of the mechanism.” This video from Laval University Robotics Laboratory researchers shows Baymax taking a ride in this motion simulator.
Meet the RS-LiDAR-M1: a MEM-based LiDAR sensor for self-driving passenger vehicles with an embedded AI algorithm that not only collects & interprets 3D point cloud data but also processes road data in real-time.
Here is another snake inspired robot that can move over rough terrain and dive underwater. The ACM-R5H robot emulates the motion of a snake on ground or underwater. It can be customized with different sensors to take on various tasks.
Meet the W120 iGlassbot: a robotic window cleaner for indoor and outdoor jobs. It features smart cleaning routes and anti-falling sensor. You can interact with the robot from your iOS/Android device. The Mamibot W120 robot has 3000Pa suction power and a 650mAh battery.
A bunch of companies are working on perfecting flying cars and manned drones. This video from Flying Kyxz shows a new flying sports car powered by Star 8 Green technology. It can lift a human off the ground and move them in the air smoothly and safely. It has vertical takeoff and landing capability.
