The Unitree H1 is a full-sized humanoid robot capable of moving at speeds of 3.3m/s. It comes with a 3D LiDAR and depth camera and can take on a variety of tasks. This video shows the H1-2 robot being teleoperated. It is based on an open source software program.
This is the Robera: an AI powered robotic golf cart that serves as your caddie. It follows you around the golf course while keeping a safe distance. It is an AI visual guidance system. It has an anti-tipping system for a stable operation on challenging terrain. Robera constantly monitors course conditions to make adjustments, so it can adapt to uphill and downhill slopes.
This is the Shark Spike: a robotic security strip that can stop vehicle at speeds up to 110km/h. It can be deployed in 2.5 seconds. Its length can be adjusted from 2 to 4.2 meters. This robot can be remote controlled from up to 300 meters away.
Robotic mowers used to require boundary wires to work. The newer models use AI and sensors to stay in your yard without time-consuming installation. Take the SUNSEEKER X7 for instance: it is an app connected AI vision robotic mower with RTK and intelligent path planning. It has an all wheel drive system with up to 53% climbing function.
Here is another robot platform for research. The Berkeley Humanoid is a robot research platform for learning-based control. It is designed for ” learning algorithms with low simulation complexity, anthropomorphic motion, and high reliability against falls.” It can be used to perform all kind of experiments outdoors, over various terrains.
Researchers are always looking for ways to up with more clever robot designs. This Audio-Animatronic Robot Head has a 3D printed body. It has a lightweight structure with a “separatetendon-based actuation system” underneath to allow for fast motion. It has an motion generating module from audio that creates motions of the head and mouth based on any audio.
Kyu Min Park, Jeongah Cheon, and Sehyuk Yim are behind this robot. You can find out more about it here.
This is the iSkim Ultra: a solar powered robotic pool cleaner that gets rid of debris and dirt without you having to break a sweat. It has 10,000mAh capacity and a 24W solar panel. It comes with app connectivity, so you can easily navigate it, change its speed and put this robot on a schedule. The iSkim Ultra has a 7-motor system.
This is the Bunker Mini: a compact tracked robot that can take on off-road conditions. It has 25kg payload capacity, running for 80 minutes on battery. It has max speed of 1 m/s. The Bunker Mini can navigate in tight spaces. It has aluminum T-slot rails that you can use to mount external sensors.
Robot dogs are already capable of doing many things for us. Most companies use them for inspection. They can also be used for search and rescue missions. This video from DeepRobotics shows how these dogs can be used for grocery shopping or simply moving a bit of load around. This particular model can carry 20kg of load no problem.
This is the Hiwonder MechDog: an AI robot dog with an ESP32 controller that teaches kids coding. It is ready for Scratch, Python, and Arduino programming. This robot uses 8 high-speed coreless servos. Its features can be expanded with additional sensors. It is also LEGO compatible.
