Here is a robot designed to make life easier for tennis players. The Tennibot clears the court after a sessions, so you can get back to work faster. It has a max speed of 1.4mph with 80 ball capacity. The battery lasts about 5 hours.
Meet the SP – e ³ robot: a rugged platform that can be equipped with a water cannon, stretcher, handling arms, gas sensor, and thermal camera to take on challenging tasks. The robot adapts to any surface it moves over. The robot can clear obstacles up to 50cm. It has a max speed of 10km/h.
The SP – e3 robot has IP68 sealing. You can find out more about it here.
So you are looking for a cute selfie drone that stands out? The DraWaoy Drone is worth a look. It is a butterfly shaped flying camera with realistic wing shake. It also has a HD camera and real-time WiFi transmission.
The DraWaoy has headless mode, 3D roll, one key return, and other convenient features.
You can’t expect to become good at martial arts if you don’t work on your striking. The BotBoxer is a robotic punching bag smart enough to recognize and escape your strikes. It also visualizes your stats and lets you change its behavior to challenge your body properly.
Commercial drones are not cheap, so accidents involving them can be costly. The SafeAir Drone Parachute System is designed to protect drone payload and people when your UAV malfunctions. It is smart enough to detect loss of control to deploy the parachute at the right time.
Robot musicians are nothing new. We have seen a bunch of them capable of working the drums, pianos, and other instruments. Teo Tronico is a robot pianist that uses 53 fingers to work a piano. It also moves its head and has lights to put on a dazzling show. The below video from New China TV shows it in action:

In the past few years, we have covered plenty of interesting projects that involve using wearables to teach robots how to imitate movements of their operator. Researchers at South China University of Technology (SCUT) have come up with a whole body imitation framework that enables humanoid robots to imitate head, arm, lower-limb, and hand motions of their operator.
Meet the QBHand Robot Hand: a flexible 19DOF robot hand that can produce natural movement. It has grasp and holding force of 50N and 100N respectively. It can go from wide open to clenched fist in 1.1s.
Here is another rugged robot capable of assisting humans in dangerous situations. The SCARAB TX uses sensors and thermal cameras to assist the rescue teams. It can be equipped with water cannon, smoke extraction fan, handling arms, trailer hitch, and other components.
There is no better way to learn electronics and robotics than building and programming your own robots. This piano playing robot was built using an Arduino UNO, HC-06 Bluetooth module, motor driver, DC motor, and a few other simple components. The below video shows this robot in action:
