Meet the SkyX Drone: an unmanned aerial vehicle that can inspect oil and gas pipelines. This long-range infrastructure monitoring platform features vertical take-off and landing, so it can fly from anywhere. It is electrically powered and relies on Sky OS for monitoring the fleet.
Meet the Bristlebot: a cute little robot that lets you teach engineering concepts to your children. It comes with a toothbrush head, battery, motor, and pipe cleaner arms, so you can assemble these in a flash. Bristlebots can travel in circles, straight lines, and random patterns.
Meet Kobi: a 3-in-1 machine that removes leaves, mows your lawn, and blows away snow. Simply show the perimeter of your property to the machine and let it do the rest. Kobi will autonomously cuts your grass but is smart enough to know when it will snow.
So you enjoy drone racing? The DJI Goggles Racing Edition can provide you with a more immersive flying experience. They work with Spark, Mavic, Phantom, and Inspire drones. These goggles have a resolution of 1080p and can accept digital video signal from up to 7km away with latency of as low as 50ms.
Many businesses are now relying on robots to save money, make their workers more productive, and better serve their customers. Bleum warehouse autonomous robots are designed to speed up order fulfillment and reduce labor costs. They move quickly to bring the inventory to the workers.
Here are metal robots your kids can build and program to learn basic technology concepts. Qoopers bots have 6 forms and wheels, LED panels, RGB lights, buzzer, and ultrasonic sensor that are all programmable.
Here is another robot that can make life easier for farmers. The Oz bot is an autonomous robot that takes care of weeding and hoeing tasks, reducing farmers’ workload in the process. It has 4 electric engines and 4 wheels. It comes with tractor-style tires.
Here is another compact camera drone with HD 720p recording capability. The Polaroid PL3000 drone flies for up to 10 minutes and has a flight speed of up to 20 mph. It can fly for up to 1000 feet on a battery. You get a 2.4 GHz remote control for it.
Star Wars drones are becoming a thing. We have covered many of them here in the past. The Tie Advanced x1 Quadcopter is also worth a look. It can fly at speeds up to 35mph and has 3 speed settings. You can battle against up to 12 quadcopters at the same time.
There is no better way to learn robotics than building your own robots. Boney the skeleton robot dog is a project worth a look. It is controlled with Arduino MEGA and programmed with Visuino. The plastic skeleton can be modified to allow mounting of servos and leg joints to bend. The robot has 8 servos in addition to a stepper motor to wag its tail.
