Meet the xArm robotic arm: a versatile unit made for makers, researchers, and businesses in mind. The xArm 5/6/7 arms can be set up in just a few minutes. They have up to 5kg payload and 691mm reach.
Robots can do many things for us already, including flipping burgers and making coffee. This video from The Japan Times shows a green tea making robot by Denso corp. These versatile robotic arms collaborate together to complete the job.
Meet the Mekamon Berserker V2: a cool robot that you can use to play solo with augmented reality or against up to 4 friends. You can develop your own moves for it thanks to the emotion Studio. The robot can react to your touch in real time.
Here is another robot from KUKA designed to make life easier for professionals. The KUKA LBR Med is a collaborative medical robot with manual and automatic positioning. You can teach the robot through demonstration.
Many of us don’t have a whole lot of space for too many pieces of furniture. Bumblebee Spaces’ robotic ceiling furniture pieces give a new meaning to space saving design. These guys have a range of furniture modules can can descend from and retract into the ceiling.
Robots are going to do many things for us in the future. They are already capable of making coffee and cooking food. This video from the Japan Times shows a couple of robot arms preparing dumplings. As you can see, the robots combine to complete the process step by step without getting in each other’s way.

In the past few months, we have covered a bunch of innovative robots from MELTIN. This 3rd arm is a robot arm controlled by biosignal in real-time. 3 sensors on the face are used to pick up the signal. As you can see in the below video, the sequence is not pre-progrmamed.
The SpotMini robot from Boston Dynamics is one nimble machine that can handle objects, climb stairs and operate indoors and outside. It has 17 joints, 14kg payload, and 3D vision system. As this video shows, it can also twerk and moonwalk.
Here is a 3D printed hybrid bipedal robot that can transform into a flying machine. This 26.5cm robot is capable of two-legged gait. Malaikat weighs about 700g and features a Bluetooth module for remote control. The below videos show this robot in action:
The good news is the 3D files are online. More info is available here.
