Here is another educational robot that can get your children familiar with the basics of coding. The Root Robot allows kids to make artwork, create games, and learn a thing or two in the process. It comes with two markers and a foldout whiteboard.
Meet the KINOVA Gen3: an ultra lightweight robot designed for researchers. It comes with embedded 2D/3D vision and up to 7 DOF. It has smart actuators and torque sensors. The joints features unlimited rotation.
Here is a leg mechanism for robots that enables agile bipedal locomotion. Disney Research’s Hybrid Leg mechanism achieves 6 DOF with a combined structure of serial and parallel mechanism. It is made with carbon fiber tubes and bearings fro improved rigidity and accuracy.
Meet the Maqueen: a tiny programmable robot with a graphical interface for STEM education. It has an all metal mini gear motor, LED lights, buzzer, ultrasonic sensor, and everything you need to experiment with it.
Meet the AxiDraw SE/A3: an awesome robot that can perform human-like writing and drawing robot. It can work on paper sizes up to 11×17 inches. The AxiDraw SE/A3 can write with fountain pens, permanent markers, and other writing instruments.
Here is a robot designed to help dental students get some real practice. It blinks, breathes, sweats, and even vomits like a human might during a dental procedure. It helps new dentists become more confident and hone their skills.
Meet the Digital Systems Teaching and Research (DSTR) Robot: a kit ready for teaching and research that combines with everything you need to put it together. This is an articulated-leg suspension platform that can be controlled from a smartphone or WiFi enabled devices.
Here is a framework for manufacturing with robot swarms. FIBERBOTS enables designing and digitally fabrication large scale structures using robotic nodes to tune the material make-up of the structure on the fly based on the environment.
There is no better way to learn robotics than building and programming your own robots. The CKIT WobblyBot is a fun project from Adafruit that shows you how to build a CRICKIT based hopping robot. The robot has an anodized aluminum metal chassis. You are going to need 4 FS90R micro servos, mini geared pager motor with return spring, a Circuit Playground Express, and an Adafruit CRICKIT.
Meet the HRP-5P robot: a humanoid robot from AIST that can take on construction tasks with real world materials. AIST is capable of replacing humans workers in dangerous environments. It stands 182cm tall, weighing 101kg. The robot features object recognition, environment sensing, and whole-body motion planning.
