In the past few years, we have covered plenty of advanced welding robots here. The CompactWelder is a compact welding robot cell that can automate small welding tasks. Workers can easily move these units around. The CompactWelder has a plug & play installation. It is ready for offline programming.
Meet Honda’s 3E-C18 Robot: a machine that uses AI to learn by observing and understanding people’s needs. It is autonomous and has a mobile power pack system. It has a cart-like platform to carry things. The 3E-C18 also expresses itself through its LED eyes.
Giant fighting robots are becoming a thing. We have already seen machines like the MegaBot Mk.III, which stands 16 feet tall and can lift a car up to 12 feet in the air. The Futurewise xx21 robot is also worth a look. It is a fierce giant robot with battle weapons and displays in the cockpit to show the operator what’s going on.
Here is another autonomous robot ready for programming. The Mini-IPS Autonomous Programmable Robot from SDRRobots comes with a BeagleBone Black running Ubuntu 16.04. It can be controlled wirelessly thanks to its router. The device can also be configured as a bridge.
Meet Honda’s 3E-A18: a cute robot with AI and soft skin that understands human emotions and is ready for a hug. It has a range of facial expressions easily understandable to people around it. Robots like this can provide people in stress with comfort.
Meet Boeing’s Unmanned Cargo Drone: an electric vertical takeoff and landing drone that measures 15 by 18 feet and uses 8 propeller blades to lift up to 500lbs. It also has custom Boeing batteries to complete missions. The drone is being used to test Boeing’s autonomous tech for future flying vehicles.

Remember Sony’s aibo? We had a chance to cover it here just a couple of months ago. It is a robot dog that can recognize faces and develop personality based on how it is treated. The robot has a 64-bit quad-core processor and 22 degrees of freedom. It comes with 2 OLED eyes, 4 microphones, and 2 cameras.
Meet the SENSEPLAY Surf: an open solution that allows makers to integrate their hardware and provide with their customers with easier control. Device makers can self-define keys and buttons for the device, which happens to have dual 5.5 inch OLED screens.
In the future, autonomous cars will read your brainwaves to provide you with a safer experience on the road. Nissan is already working on such technology. Its B2V tech involves reading and interpreting signals from the driver’s brain to assist with driving.
Here is another compact drone with a 4K UHD camera that lets you smooth aerial footage. The Autel Evo drone has front and rear sensors with multiple intelligent flight modes. It avoids obstacles and can orbit or follow you. The drone is compatible with iOS and Android devices.
