Robots are going to do many things for us, including helping construction projects stay on track. Doxel has LIDAR equipped robots that increases productivity in commercial construction projects. Autonomous robots are used to monitor every inch of the project and feed the data to deep learning algorithms for further analysis.
The Dobot Magician is a wonderful educational robot capable of 3D printing, laser engraving, and performing other tasks. It already comes with a whole host of features for you to get started. The Robot Vision Kit lets you integrate a vision system for sorting applications.
Advanced robots are not exactly light in weight, so when they malfunction or fall down, they could cause damage to humans and assets around them. Jinoh Lee, Wooseok Choi and their team have presented an experiment that explores a soft impact protection on the hands of the humanoid WALK-MAN robot.
Robots are going to take over many jobs in the future. They are not going to replace reporters yet, but that might happen in the very near future. Take Xinhua’s Interactive Robot Reporter for instance: it is a 1.2m tall robot that can collect data and perform interviews.
Here is a cool project that shows you how to build your own interactive air gates for drone racing with Arduino. These will have lights that change color when their ultrasonic sensor detects your drone getting closer.
The Dobot Magician is a very interesting educational robot capable of 3D printing, laser engraving, picking & placing items, and performing other tasks. With the Dobot Conveyor Belt, you can do more with it. It has adjustable speed. It also comes with a distance and color sensor.
In the past few months, we have covered plenty of Universal Robots here. These are very capable robotic arms for a variety of applications. Robot Run is an interactive robot game that shows how a UR5 robot can move in a maze-like structure with accuracy.
Here is a robot hand capable of easily handling objects of various shapes. The F-Hand has five fingers and can grab soft fruits such as strawberries and peaches without causing any damage. It can also grasp tools such as an electric drill firmly.
Meet the DJI Mavic Air: another foldable 4K drone that lets you capture amazing aerial footage thanks to its 3-axis gimbal. It borrows various features from the Mavic series. The Mavic Air senses its environment in 3 directions and can fly for 21 minutes. It is capable of capturing 32MP sphere panoramas.
