Here is a spherical robot that can take on challenging terrains and move in water to perform complex tasks. The robot is ready for security, broadcasting, and other tasks. It can be used with sensors, cameras, and navigation modules to do more.
Inspectorbots is behind some of the most interesting robots around. The Mega Hurtz robot is a rugged unmanned electric vehicle with a steel plated shell and high towing capacity. This video shows how the MHZ-027X robot can tow a 2500 lb Acura RSX.
Here is another social robot that gets your kids familiar with STEM concepts. The LocoRobo has 8 different sensors (light, tilt, motion, touch, temperature, proximity, gesture and sound). With AI, the robot can create new play patterns to interact with your kids.
Researchers are always looking at nature for inspiration to improve their robots. Stanford researchers have recently developed vine-like soft robots that can cover grow across distances without moving their body. These robots are lightweight and safer to use than hard robots. More importantly, they can follow complicated paths.
Meet TALOS: a versatile humanoid robot capable of taking on a variety of complex tasks. It stands 1.75m and has arms with 6kg payload capacity each. The robot has torque control in all its joints and can work a drill, avoid obstacles, and do a whole lot more.
Meet the Fortem DroneHunter: an innovative UAS developed to deal with rogue drones autonomously. This unmanned aircraft detects intrusion thanks to AI radar technology and catches unauthorized drones with a net. Once a UAV is captured, it can be safely discarded to a safe zone.
Meet the Jimu Robot AstroBot Kit: an educational kit that gets your children familiar with technology and coding. The Jimu Robot AstroBot Kit has 5 servo motors and 1 infrared sensor. Your kids will be able to build a bunch of robots with step-by-step animated building instructions.
Meet the RB-KAIROS: a collaborative mobile robot with fully autonomous features. It has an omnidirectional base and can carry up to 105kg of weight. The robot can be mounted with 6 DOF collaborative robot arms. The RB-KAIROS can be used for manipulation, pick & place, warehouse automation and lots of other tasks.
There is no better way to learn electronics and technology than building and programming your own things. This Voice Controlled 3D Printed Tricopter project shows you what it takes to build your own drone and control it with Amazon Alexa.
The drone has 3 propellers. You will need 3 brushless motors, 3 motor shafts, power distribution board, and a few other parts to pull it off. You will need a Raspberry Pi and Amazon Echo too.
In the past few years, we have seen plenty of interesting robotic 3D printers. With Robotic Modeling Assistant (RoMA), users will be able to interact with these robots through an augmented reality CAD editor.
