Here is another ROV that you can use for underwater research and exploration. The Sibiu Nano robot comes with 6 thrusters, a HD camera for livestreaming, and modular design with option to add lights, chemical sensors, and additional cameras.
Robots are going to do many things for us in the future, including teaching children new things. The Danovo social robot is a cute egg-shaped bot that stands 0.88 meter tall and has a projector to play interactive games with your kids. It can sense and move around people while avoiding any collision.
Here is another cockroach-inspired robot that can be equipped with sensors for search & rescue missions and inspections of dangerous areas. The HAMR robot can run at high speeds, jump, climb, and turn sharply. It can run at about 10.5 body lengths in seconds and is capable of carrying 2 times its own bodyweight.
Meet the CoWelder: a collaborative welding robot that assists professionals in welding workshops. It can be configured with a UR5 or UR10 robot with up to 1300mm working radius. The CoWelder allows you to produce more without any mistakes. After you have programmed it, the settings can be saved for the future.
In the past few months, we have covered plenty of hospital robots that can provide people with information and make workers more productive. The RIBA II can do more than that. It can lift patients and move them from their bed to a wheelchair and vice versa.
Here is another quadruped walking robot with everything you need to get started in coding robots. The Lynxmotion SQ3U robot comes with SSC-32 servo controller and the BotBoarduino microcontroller. It has 3DOF per leg and uses 4 HS-645MG servos and four HS-422 servos.
Remember the ANYmal robot? It is a quadrupedal robot dog with autonomous navigation that can plan its path and select its footholds while walking. It can be equipped with thermal cameras, microphones, and other sensors to take on various missions.
Meet the 86Humanoid Rider: another 3D printed biped robot that can perform plenty of basic moves. The robot’s motions are controlled via the Servo86 library of 86Duino. As this video shows, the robot can get up after falling and walk. Looks pretty cute too.

Robots are going to take many jobs from us. That applies to workers in restaurants and other food places. A robotized cafe in Japan is using a robot as the barista to serve coffee to customers. People will just have to scan a QR code to get their coffee.
Developing swarms of autonomous aerial vehicles that can navigate in close proximity to each other without obstacle avoidance can be challenging. There are plenty of examples of this done in nature (e.g. honeybees). Vijay Kumar and his team have presented a similar approach for drones. Their idea was to come up with a design capable of sustaining collisions.
