In the future, robots will do all kinds of tasks for us in space. GITAI is a startup working on humanoid telepresence robots for commercial space stations in the future. Its general task substituting robot was recently tested inside a mock-up station with Japan Aerospace eXploration Agency. It can handle tools, connect wires, and do a whole more.
Meet Spirit: a cylindrical drone from Ascent AeroSystems designed to perform in harsh environments. This dual-rotor coaxial drone can reach max speed of 60mph. Its core is not much bigger than a coffee can and weighs just 3 pounds. With two batteries, Spirit can fly for more than 50 minutes.
Here is an indoor inspection drone that can fit through manholes and go places where regular drones can’t. The Elios 2 drone comes with a 12MP camera and livestreaming capability. It has a spherical cage protecting its propellers from impacts. Elios 2 can capture close-up images in GPS-denied environments.
Here is a vegetable weeding robot designed to increase efficiency on large-scale vegetable farms. It works autonomously and can cover up to 12 acres in 9 hours. It uses GPS and camera to get the job done with accuracy.
Robugtix is behind some amazing robots. Their RoboNOPE happens to be a giant black widow spider robot. It is powered by BigFoot Robotics Engine to exhibit life-like motion. It has an embedded camera for video streaming.
Mowing the lawn is not anybody’s favorite activity but we all have to do it. The Kärcher RLM 4 is a robot lawn mower that can handle areas up to 500 m2 with gradients up to ± 45 %. The entire unit weighs 8.8kg, so you can move it around easily.
Meet the Dobot Magician Robotic Arm Conveyor Belt Kit: a complete kit with everything you need to try drawing, writing, 3D printing, and even simulating a complete production line with robots. The conveyor belt features adjustable speed. You get color and distance sensors too.
This robot is capable of detecting, gripping, and picking/placing colored cubes. The conveyor belt has a max speed of 120 mm/s and max payload of 500 g.
Here are ball-shaped robots that can land safely from a 600ft drop to perform tasks in disaster zones. Engineers at UC Berkeley and Squishy Robotics developed them with a network of rods linked by cables. They can change shape too.
Here is another robot that can disinfect hospital rooms efficiently. LightStrike is a robot germ zapper from Xenex designed for ICUs, operating rooms, and medical surgery units. It uses UV light to kill most germs by bouncing it against the walls, floors, ceilings, and other hard-to-clean areas.
Meet Z6 from Robugtix: a portable, foldable robot that can fit in a backpack and unfold to navigate uneven environments. The Z6 is quite agile and can climb stairs, roll over, get back up when in upside down position, and navigate in confined spaces. It has a camera with livestreaming functionality and joystick with a monitor.
