Here is a FPV system that provides you with an immersive drone racing experience. The DJI Digital FPV System has a transmission range of 4km with latency of 28ms. You can fly 8 drones simultaneously. This FPV system delivers 1080p 60fps resolution and consists of an Air Unit module, camera, goggles, and remote controller.
Remember EDAN? It is a robot for wheelchair users that can help them become more independent. DLRRMC has shared a new video that shows a framework for whole-body control for this robot. Thanks to this method, tasks like opening or closing doors can be done easily.
As you can see in the below video, it is possible to move the wheelchair while the end-effector stays in a fixed position. In Following mode, the wheelchair moves based on forces interacting with the arm.

Floor cleaning robots are improving all the time. LionsBot’s floor cleaning robots have a small footprint and use sensors to detect and avoid obstacles. LeoBots can scrub, vacuum, and mop the floor. The LeoScrub uses 70% less water while the LeoMop mops the floor silently.
Meet the PackDrone: a foldable, safe delivery drone with a cage to protect people and the parcel. It has a payload of 0.5kg and uses GPS navigation for last cm delivery. It has sender & recipient apps that allow users to remotely issue commands to the drone and keep track of deliveries respectively.
Here is a drone control system that combines with an exosuit with haptic feedback to allow operators to control flying robots with torso movements. The Flyjacket was enhanced with haptic guidance to improve the performance of users in training. The below video shows it in action:
Here is a cool pair of animatronic ears with Bluetooth that you can control from your smartphone. EarGear can twitch and turn. They feature an internal microphone to react to the sounds around you. The covers are also removable.
Here is another female robot with human-like motion that can help your business stand out. Speecys’ life-size female robot can sing and dance to promote your store and products. Its motion can be customized with a PC. These robots can be controlled on the internet.
Meet the Beetl bot: a dog poop picking robot that uses machine learning, AI, and cloud connectivity to locate and pick up dog waste, so you don’t have to. The robot is smart enough to get around obstacles.
The Raspberry Pi is a wonderful platform for learning electronics and coding. The Adeept RaspArm is an educational robotic arm that combines with your Pi 4/3/2B/B+ unit to pick & place items. You can remote control the RaspArm using an app on your PC.
Researchers are always looking for ways to improve locomotion algorithms for robots. Getting robots to maintain their balance on slippery surfaces can be particularly challenging. Robotic Systems Lab has shared a video that shows how robots can be taught to negotiate slippery surfaces.
