Working in a greenhouse can be time-consuming and tiresome. Robots can help humans with repetitive tasks. Floating Robotics has come up with a picking robot for greenhouses. It takes care of defoliating, harvesting and boxing vegetables. It has a camera to monitor the crops and is smart enough to recognize different plants and objects.
Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to restore the function of a joint. As it turns out, robots can be used to assist with these procedures. As this video shows, the HURWA Joint Surgical Robot KUKA LBR Med (based on KUKA LBR Med) “allows for precise control over the amount and angle of osteotomy, ensuring accuracy of bone resection and limiting the osteotomy plane.”
In the future, many stores may use drones to deliver certain orders. Walmart, Amazon, and other large companies are working on that. This video from Wing shows how quick meals, groceries, and over-the-counter medicines in under 30 minutes via drone.
When we talk about DJI drones, they are mostly for aerial cinematography. The DJI FlyCart 30 is made for aerial delivery. It can carry large payloads for miles. It has cargo and winch modes. It can carry up to 30kg of weight. This drone has IP55 protection. It has max speed of 20 m/s and cruising speed of 15 m/s.
This is the Kepler S1: an AI humanoid robot with a total of 40DOF that can navigate complex terrains, avoid obstacles intelligently and manipulate items with its hands. It can lift and carry heavy loads. This robot stands 5’10”. It has a smart dexterous hand with 12 degrees of freedom.
Here is another smart robot vacuum and mop with LiDAR that cleans your home, so you don’t have to. The Loorow 3-in-1 Robot Vacuum & Mop doesn’t put a giant hole in your pocket either. It has 4500Pa suction power and Alexa/App connectivity.
Meet the VAPOR 55 MX: an unmanned helicopter with a modular payload bay and multi-sensor capacity that is ready for all kinds of complex missions. It has payload capacity for defense, commercial, and industrial applications. It can carry up to 10lbs of payload.
This is the Robooter X40: a comfortable wheelchair designed for people with lower limit mobility. It has omnidirectional wheels and adjustable max speed. This wheelchair app connectivity. It can handle slopes up to 15 degrees. It has a 20Ah battery with a range of 25km.
Here is another reaction wheel robot that uses a simple mechanism to maintain its balance when nudged. This Self Balancing Curved Triangle Robot comes to life when you turn it on. It moves back and forth until it reaches the right balance point. The reaction wheel mechanism ensures it stays there even if you push it from left or right.
You can connect this to your computer via MicroUSB for programming.
