Testing ATM machines is going to be a whole lot easier and efficient when you can get robots to do it. The YuMi robot can test ATM software 24/7. This dual-armed software testing robot was designed to test Diebold Nixdorf’s ATMs.
Robots can do many things for us already, including cooking burgers and baking bread. As this video from FZIchannel shows, robots can also be used to decorate cookies. For this project, service robot HoLLiE was used. It can decorate cookies with 4 different types of toppings.
Mowing the lawn is not everyone’s favorite activity. The good news is you can now get robots to do it. The SDR Lawn Mower Robot Kit is a robotic mower driven by 13-inch tires and powered by heavy-duty wheelchair motors. It has 6″ casters for easy maneuverability.
The robot has max payload capacity of 100lb. The kit comes with a Kobalt 40-volt cordless electric lawnmower included.
Meet Arque: an artificial biomimicry-inspired tail that can extend your body functions. Its weight and length are adjustable to adapt to different users. The tails internal structure has pneumatic artificial muscles. The design was inspired by seahorse tail.
There is no better way to learn about robots and coding than building and programming your own robots. The Smarian Off-road Robot Car Chassis lets you build robots that can negotiate rough terrain. It is a search & rescue robot platform for Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
Here is a stretchy wearable patch that can be used to control robot hands. Developed by the engineers at University of Houston, the patch translates your motion and other commands to a robot and can receive temperature feedback. They integrated RRAM memory, transistors, temperature sensors, and light sensors into the device.
Plenty of companies are working on perfecting flying cars. NEC recently presented a prototype of its flying car to the members of the press. It is a super large 4-propeller drone that can fly humans. During the test, the vehicle rose to 3 meters before landing.
Mowing the lawn is nobody’s favorite activity. The good news is you can now get robots to do it for you. The Husqvarna AUTOMOWER 310 is a robotic mower with app control that cuts the grass, so you don’t have to. It relies on boundary wires to smartly maneuver around your yard and stay out of trouble.
Bionic legs are making life a whole lot easier for amputees. The Open Source Robotic Leg is an ambitious project that aims to lower the the barrier for conducting research in this field. It serves as a starting platform in the field of bionics.
We have covered plenty of inspect inspired robots here in the past. UC Berkeley researchers have now developed an insect-sized robot that can move across the floor at the speed of a cockroach. It is also tough enough to survive being stepped on.
