Here is a fascinating robotic solution from KUKA that can charge electric vehicles. CarLa comes out of collaboration with the Volkswagen Group. These fully automated service robots begin charging cars when they are parked. They can be used in public spaces or at home.
In the past few months, we have covered how Aerones drones can be used for firefighting and other challenging missions. Their wind turbine cleaning drones are also impressive. They come with redundancy and can be powered from ground level to work for hours.
Remember ANYMal? It is a sophisticated robot smart enough to autonomously navigate challenging environments. We have already covered how it can learn how to roller skate, move in snow, and fist bump. This latest video from Robotic Systems Lab shows it learning how to dance to the beat of music.
Meet the TBS Oblivion quadcopter: a FPV racing drone with a crash resistant design that can reach a max speed of 75mp/h and run for up to 11 minutes on battery. It has a injected composite polymer unibody construction with custom Cobra CT-2205-2400kV motors and tri-blade propellers.
What’s better than a personal transporter? Maybe one that can serve as a smart robot. Segway’s Loomo is just that. It is a smart machine that acts as your mobile sidekick. It can go with speeds up to 11mph over 22 miles on a full charge. The robot is smart enough to follow you automatically and shoot stabilized video.
Meet the ILIFE A8: another smart robot vacuum designed to clean your floors more effectively. This self-navigating robot relies on 360-degree live-vision camera and smart algorithms to clean your place thoroughly in less time. It comes with interchangeable brushes to clean hard and carpet floors.
Meet the Ohbot: an educational robot with a seven motor head that connects to your computer and gets your kids familiar with basics of programming. It comes with a graphical programming interface based on MIT’s scratch. The robot and its software help users understand sequences, variables, and other basic concepts.
Here is another robot that can automate repetitive, boring tasks. The Coin Loading & Unloading Robotic Cell automates the removal of two styles of coins from their protective case for manual inspection and certification. The robot then repackages the coins back into their case after the process is done.
Meet the Cimon: a floating crew member on the International Space Station that can serve as a companion for astronauts on long-term missions. It is a talking machine designed by Airbus that helps astronauts with routine work.
Robots are going to take many jobs from humans in the future. Even fast food jobs are not safe. Take Flippy from Miso Robotics for instance. It uses cameras and sensors to flip burgers like a pro and cook them perfectly every time. It is now cooking at the CaliBurger fast food chain.
