This is the KR1: a cool robot that can get things done in warehouses, offices, and other business environments. It can pick and place items, assemble products, and other repetitive tasks. It has a clever torso that lets it pick up objects from the lowest shelves. This video shows it enhanced with a LLM to perform tasks with simple voice commands:
Boston Dynamics announce the next generation Atlas humanoid robot a few months ago. It is fully electric, more powerful, and has a broader range of motion than the previous generation. It will be able to perform tasks and handle objects without the constraints of a human’s range of motion. The below video shows it performing push ups.

This is Alex from Broadwalk Robotics: an agile humanoid robot that can take on a wide variety of task. It can clean, pick and place items, and a lot more. It has 19 degrees of freedom with 10kg continuous payload capacity. As you can see in the below video, this robot is pretty fast with 9 rad/s high speed joints.

This is the Waveshare UGV Rover: a 6-wheel Raspberry Pi 5 robot that can take your coding to the next level. It uses the Pi for AI vision and planning while an ESP32 sub controller is used for data processing and motion control. This rover has a 5MP 160-degree wide angle camera with pan-tilt function.
Here is an approach that enables robots to perform unseen highly dynamic motions. This paper explores the idea of using a variational encoder to extract latent space encoding and train a conditional policy using the latent code. The approach allows a bipedal robot to execute highly dynamic moves. The below video from DisneyResearchHub shows how it works:
The robot can regain its balance when pushed.

This is the Colossus from Shark Robotics: an unmanned ground vehicle that can take on various rescue missions, including fires. It can navigate rubble, debris, and other challenging terrains. It has LiDAR, cameras, and thermal imaging. This robot has a water cannon with a performance of 2000L/min. It has a 320-degree video turret.
This is the Interstellar Scout K1 PRO from Robosen: an app connected humanoid robot with 17 motors that exhibits agile movement. It supports 82 voice commands. This robot supports manual and block-based programming. You can use your phone to control K1’s moves.
Robot dogs have many applications. They can be used to inspect plants, dangerous areas, and even vineyards. As this video shows, robots of this type can be used to explore vineyards. RoboHike accomplishes this by modeling, identifying, and mapping footholds for quadrupedal robots with perception and learning approaches.
Remember the Unitree G1? It is a versatile, agile humanoid robot that can take on a variety of tasks. The Unitree G1 Mass Production Version has stronger performance and meets mass production requirements. As this video shows, it can jump, go up and down the stairs, and keep its balance when pushed.
This is the StepBot: a magnetic desktop robot that keeps you company. It has a tiny square shell with 6 short movable legs. It comes with magnets on both sides of its body and ears, so you can connect multiple StepBots together to have even more fun. This toy has a footprint of 3x3x4.5cm. It has a 45mAh battery that lasts up to 50 minutes.
