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.
Meet Ai-Da: a humanoid robot artist with AI that can draw people who pose for it like a pro. It uses smart algorithms to create realistic portraits of what it sees. The robot is name after Ada Loveface. It is built by Engineered Arts.
Ai-Da is based on RoboThespian and comes with a realistic silicone skin, integrated eye cameras, and hair.

Robots are going to do many household chores for us in the future. ugo is a service from Mira Robotics relies on robots to perform a range of laundry duties. Under this service, robots will be loaned to customers and trained operators will remotely manipulate them to do various chores.
So you have always wanted to build your own Rubik’s Cube solver? The Kaizhi KJ30010A EV5 robot learning kit has you covered. It has over 820 pieces, including a 2.4″ touch display, and WiFi. You can program the robot using Scratch. It is also possible to build other robots with this.
