Geranos: Tilted Rotors Aerial Robot for Moving Poles

0

In the past few years, we have covered drones that carry a wide variety of items. Transporting poles can be quite challenging though. Researchers have come up with an aerial robot (Geranos) for this very purpose. It grabs poles at their center of mass to reduce the effect of inertia. It requires only 2 actuators for gripping.

Parkour Robot Dog Powered by AI

0

Robot dogs are getting more agile all the time. We have already seen them perform backflips and climb stairs. As this video by DeepRobotics shows, they can combine with AI to do parkour. This particular robot dog has gone through self-learning and training with vast amounts of data. The DEEPRobotics AI+ plan enables robots to take on extreme sports as this video shows:

MIGO Ascender Stair Climbing Robot Vacuum with 9700pa Suction

0

Here is one of the coolest robot vacuums we have seen. While regular vacuum robots are getting more powerful, they still can’t climb stairs. The MIGO Ascender aims to change that. It also has 9700pa suction power and offers 100% edge and corner cleaning. This robot can also take on stubborn stains with 17N mopping pressure. You can set it to be charged during off-peak hours.
