This is the XGO-Rider: a Raspberry Pi powered self balancing wheel-legged robot with ChatGPT integration. It is smart enough to detect gestures and human poses. It can also follow you. This robot is ready for Python and Blockly. It has a 5MP camera, dual microphones and a speaker to see, hear, and interact with you.
In the past few years, we have covered a whole host of snake robots that can move through pipes and tight areas for inspection. This COBRA robot takes a different approach. It moves items through locomotion. It simply moves its body to get an object moved to a new location. The developers used a non-impulsive implicit contact path planning approach to pull this off.
Meet the Rainbow Robotics’ RB-Y1 Humanoid Robot: a bi-manual mobile manipulator system that can pick & place items, handle tools, and a lot more. It has two arms, each with 7 degrees of freedom. It also has a single leg with 6 degrees of freedom on a mobile platform. The company plans to offer various APIs to AI developers.
This is the Meca500-OBS: an anodized 6-axis robot with repeatability of 0.005 mm that can be integrated in tight spaces. This robot is hardware and software agnostic. Its controller is embedded into the base. The Meca500-OBS can be coded in Python and C.
This is the Rogue 1: an unmanned lethal drone ready to take on targets on the battlefield. It can also be used for surveillance. The Rogue 1 has speeds over 70mph with endurance of 30 minutes. It also has a range of over 10km. It has various lethal and training payloads.
This is the Doosan P3020 Cobot: robotic arm that can handle up to 60lbs of load. It has a reach of 2030mm. This robot move items from the floor to 2m high on a fixed base without using a lift. It has a built-in gravity compensation mechanism, singularity-free wrist mechanism and 5DOF movement for efficient performance.
This is the LawnMaster OcuMow Robot Mower: a robotic lawn mower that can handle yards up to 1000 sq.ft without a perimeter wire. It uses sensors and a wide angle camera to identify grass. It has ultrasonic sensors to detect and get around obstacles as small as 6 inches.
The Mercury X1 is a humanoid robot with NVIDIA Jetson Nano or Xavier that can take on a wide variety of tasks. It has a wheeled mobile base with LiDAR, ultrasonic radar and visual guidance systems. It lasts up to 8 hours on battery. For this particular teleoperation experiment, an X1 was used with NVIDIA Xavier. It was used to pour drinks, manipulate a needle, and put candy in a container.
ABB has announced a bunch of new robots ready for automation of a variety of tasks. The IRB 7710 and IRB 7720 robots offer 16 new variants. They are powered by OmniCore for easy motion control with path accuracy of 0.6mm. These robots work at speeds up to 1600mm/s. They have max payload capacity of 620kg.
Here is a new robotic arm with AI for seamless automation. The Omron iCR, derived from NEURA Robotics‘ MAiRA line, has an integrated 3D vision sensor and advanced safety features to work around humans. It also has a user friendly interface. The robot will take on a bin picking task at the event.
As David Reger, CEO at NEURA Robotics, explains:
With the intelligent Cognitive Robot (iCR), we are removing usage barriers and multiplying possible applications for robotics in automation because they can act autonomously, recognize people safely and anticipate their actions. Thanks to our technology, these key requirements for the humanoid future of robotics are already a reality in industry today. By launching the iCR, we aim to significantly influence the future of manufacturing across all geographies and establish new benchmarks in the industry.
This trade show will happen in Chicago from May 6 to 9. You can find out more here.
