Meet the Kawasaki Robotics MG15HL: a wide motion range robot with load capacity of 1500kg and max reach of 4005mm ready to take on heavy objects. It has a max linear speed of 5m/s with repeatability of +/- 0.1mm.
We all would love to get our hands on a decent flying car. If you love coming up with your own aerial robots, you can always try building a manned drone. chAIR happens to be a manned drone that can take a human off the ground and fly for a few minutes. It has max capacity is about 163kg.
Meet the X-TANKCOPTER: an app smart hybrid drone that can climb, drive, drift, and fly to reach areas not possible with regular drones. It has auto takeoff/landing capability, gesture control, HD recording, and a FPV mode.
The X-TANKCOPTER comes with iOS and Android control. It has LED lights to let you see in dark spaces. The drone has propellers that automatically shut down when they collide with an obstacle to minimize damage. Expected to ship in June.
Teaching robots to stay balanced on ice is easier said than done. ETH Zurich’s Computational Robotics Lab researchers have designed a 3D printed robot with wheels and legs that can maintain its balance while skating smoothly on ice. The robot learns on its own how to skate better.
Here is a 6-axis robot that mounts on wheelchairs to make life easier for people with disabilities. CareLink2 can handle a mobile phone, tablet, cup, and everything in between. The robot can be controlled via a mobile phone. People with upper limb disability can control it with a mouse or speech recognition.
Firefighting drones are nothing new. They can access hard-to-reach areas and put out fire without putting humans in danger. The ZHUN drone happens to be Walkera’s latest firefighting multirotor. It has a foldable design and uses a LiDAR module, extinguishing tank, advanced vision system, and a powder spraying pipe to get the job done.
Meet the Robosen T9 Robot: an auto-transforming robot with Scratch programming and augmented reality games that provides your kids with an interactive learning experience. It can be controlled via app & voice. The robot can transform from humanoid to a car, perform push-ups, or simply drive on flat surfaces.
Meet the Rubion robot: an autonomous strawberry picking robot that finds its way through the crop and picks berries like a human picker. It features advanced crop monitoring and gently handles strawberries to avoid damaging them.
Meet the CareMeal robot: a handy solution for people who can’t eat on their own. It is a dual-arm feeding robot with a grab arm to handle food. It has a spoon to feed people rice and other delicious meals. The amount of food, speed, and other settings can be controlled via the CareApp on a mobile device.
Meet the SwagBot: an autonomous weeding robot that can detect and spray weeds to save people time and effort. It is designed for the grazing livestock industry. The robot can be used for weed control, animal monitoring, and pasture surveys.
