Here is another drone designed to make life easier for farmers and agricultural businesses. The Sentera Omni Drone is a quadcopter that can capture crop health data. It captures thermal, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and high-resolution RGB in a single flight.
Meet the Snow robot: a cute companion bot that stands 100cm tall, weighing 30kg. It has a 9.7″ screen and app control. It features voice recognition and intelligent navigation. The robot learns about your preferences to better serve you.
Here is an anti-drone defense system that allows the military and businesses detect and disable rogue drones. AUDS is operated by one user and can detect, track, and disable drones in 15 seconds at a range of up to 10km. As Blighter Surveillance Systems explains:
The AUDS system combines electronic-scanning radar target detection, electro-optical (EO) tracking/classification and directional RF inhibition
Th AUDS system is effective against swarm attacks. It will be available in portable, rugged field-mast, and fixed configurations.

There is no better way to learn robotics and electronics than building your own smart robots and wearables. This Soft Robotic Mask project by AdiM33 shows you how to build a wearable device that reacts to your facial expressions. You will need to do 3D scanning to complete the mask.
Programming an Arduino Uno board to read muscle sensors and water pumps is also required. You can use MyoWare Muscle Sensors for this project.
Here is another triangular robot with wheels that let it move in all directions. This Programmable Triangular Omni Wheel Vectoring Robot was built by SuperDroid Robots. It weighs 6.5 lbs and can support 10lbs of weight. It has IG32 24V 265RPM gear motors, Arduino Mega controller, 2200 mAh LiPo battery, and everything you need to get started. Example code is also available.
Here is a cloud navigation system for mobile self navigation robots that allows them to achieve more efficient cooperative path planning. External sensors are used for precise positioning. Path planning is handled as a service with algorithmic computations outsourced to the Virtual Fort Knox.
Meet the Critter: a 3D printed Arduino robot kit that gets you familiar with coding and robotics. It can also be used to teach your children the basics of 3D design and printing. You can program the robot using C or graphical languages. The Critter uses its two front legs to drag itself. It comes with snap together pieces, so the assembly process is not hard.
In the future, robots will serve us at restaurants and many other places of business. Plenty of companies are already trying them. Amy is a multifunctional service robot that can serve customers their order at restaurants, bars, and cafes. It stands 155cm tall, weighing 40kg.
Here is another kit for those of you interested in building your own robots. The DFRobot Bionic Robot Hand is made up of acrylic and has 5 micro metal servos. Every finger can be controlled independently. You can interact with the hand from your PC thanks to a 24 channel Veyron servo driver.
Meet the Segway miniPLUS: a self-balancing personal transporter that gets you around without you having to break a sweat. It has a max speed of 20 km/h and range of 35 km. In auto mode, the miniPLUS can follow you automatically. The robot can serve as a camera platform to capture all the action.
