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.
Meet the Robotnik RB-VULCANO: an autonomous, collaborative robot that can operate safely around humans with lasers. This customizable mobile platform has wheels with infinite rotation. It consists of a RB-VULCANO base, a lift column and a UR5 arm (payload of 5 kg) or arm UR10 (payload 10 kg).
The robotic arm can perform at different heights. It can reach objects at ground level and up to 3000mm high. The RB-VULCANO 10 has max speed of 1 m/s and arm load capacity of 10kg.
Meet the LUKE Arm: a motorized prosthetic arm that mimics the way the human hand touches and feels objects. The name is inspired by the robotic hand Luke Skywalker got in Star Wars. The arm has a clear silicone skin and metal motors. It is powered by an external battery.
