Meet Sanctuary AI Phoenix Gen 7 Robot: a general purpose humanoid robot with human-like range of motion. It has improved sensors and can automate tasks 50x faster. This robot is powered by Carbon AI controller. According to the company, this generation has better range of motion in the wrists, hands, and elbows.
This is the TerraMow: an upcoming robotic mower that requires no boundary wires or RTK to cut your grass. It has an adjustable cutting height of 1 to 3 inches and cutting width of 8 inches. This robot comes with AI vision and real-time obstacle avoidance. It is smart enough to categorize 3D objects in real-time.
The LimX Dynamics W1 is a wheeled quadruped robot that can overcome various terrains. It can climb up and down the stairs and operate on grass and gravel roads. It has a wheeled movement speed of 10m/s. The latest video from LimX Dynamics shows how it has evolved into a biped robot. It can now maneuver on its two legs, rotate, and walk step by step.
It is no secret that plenty of companies are working to perfect autonomous unmanned vehicles. DARPA’s RACER program recently tested the RACER Heavy Platform (RHP). It measures 12 tons and uses the Textron M5 base platform. The below video shows its autonomous-route-following-mode:
Meet the Avata 2 FPV Drone: a versatile drone with 4K/60fps HDR Video capability that gives you an immersive viewing experience. It comes with intuitive motion controls. This drone can perform flips, rolls, and 180-degree flips without a whole lot of training. It is ready for super-wide 4K video thanks to its 155-degree field of view.
In the past few years, we have covered plenty of innovative robots and drones from Aerones. Their latest solution is a robotic tower cleaning solution for wind turbines. It reduces downtime and keeps these towers spotless. These robots can withstand harsh environments. They use biodegradable detergents.
The robot has a new design to improve reach. Its brush and water pressure have been improved to ensure better cleaning.

This is the BRINC Responder: a drone platform designed to improve situational awareness for first responders. This drone comes with a full HD 40x zoom camera and 640px thermal sensor, so firefighters can use it to identify hot spots. The Responder Station is a robotic charging station that keeps these drones ready to go. Drones can be deployed under 5 seconds.
In the past few years, we have covered plenty of clever drone perching mechanism. Researchers have now developed a bioinspired drone foot that allows for passive dynamic perching. Their solution uses soft tendons to link the the motion of an ankle linkage and the claws. It uses “an electroadhesive locking mechanism attached to the tendon locks the claws within 20 ms after reaching closed configuration.”
Meet the AgileX Robotics Ranger Mini 3.0: a versatile mobile robot with omnidirectional movement that can operate in challenging conditions. It can adapt to uneven terrain. It operates in low and high temperature conditions. This robot has a 8-hour battery with 35km range. It features IP54 rating. It weighs 120kg.
Python is one of the most important programming languages around these days. It has applications in AI, robotics, data science, and other fields. Teaching it to kids doesn’t have to be boring. This Ping Pong Launcher Coding Kit comes with everything your kids need to learn Python while having fun. Students have access to online tutorials that show them how to write Python code.
