This is the XGO-Rider: a Raspberry Pi powered self balancing wheel-legged robot with ChatGPT integration. It is smart enough to detect gestures and human poses. It can also follow you. This robot is ready for Python and Blockly. It has a 5MP camera, dual microphones and a speaker to see, hear, and interact with you.
In the past few years, we have covered a whole host of snake robots that can move through pipes and tight areas for inspection. This COBRA robot takes a different approach. It moves items through locomotion. It simply moves its body to get an object moved to a new location. The developers used a non-impulsive implicit contact path planning approach to pull this off.
Meet the Rainbow Robotics’ RB-Y1 Humanoid Robot: a bi-manual mobile manipulator system that can pick & place items, handle tools, and a lot more. It has two arms, each with 7 degrees of freedom. It also has a single leg with 6 degrees of freedom on a mobile platform. The company plans to offer various APIs to AI developers.
This is the Meca500-OBS: an anodized 6-axis robot with repeatability of 0.005 mm that can be integrated in tight spaces. This robot is hardware and software agnostic. Its controller is embedded into the base. The Meca500-OBS can be coded in Python and C.
This is the Rogue 1: an unmanned lethal drone ready to take on targets on the battlefield. It can also be used for surveillance. The Rogue 1 has speeds over 70mph with endurance of 30 minutes. It also has a range of over 10km. It has various lethal and training payloads.
This is the Doosan P3020 Cobot: robotic arm that can handle up to 60lbs of load. It has a reach of 2030mm. This robot move items from the floor to 2m high on a fixed base without using a lift. It has a built-in gravity compensation mechanism, singularity-free wrist mechanism and 5DOF movement for efficient performance.
This is the LawnMaster OcuMow Robot Mower: a robotic lawn mower that can handle yards up to 1000 sq.ft without a perimeter wire. It uses sensors and a wide angle camera to identify grass. It has ultrasonic sensors to detect and get around obstacles as small as 6 inches.
The Mercury X1 is a humanoid robot with NVIDIA Jetson Nano or Xavier that can take on a wide variety of tasks. It has a wheeled mobile base with LiDAR, ultrasonic radar and visual guidance systems. It lasts up to 8 hours on battery. For this particular teleoperation experiment, an X1 was used with NVIDIA Xavier. It was used to pour drinks, manipulate a needle, and put candy in a container.
