Meet the RB-SHERPA: a smart mobile robot for indoor and outside tasks that can autonomously follow its operator. It has a max payload capacity of 100kg and max speed of 3 m/s. It runs up to 10 hours on battery.
Meet the Air Hogs Robo Trax: an all-terrain RC tank that can transform into a standing, self-balancing robot with the push of a button. It has 2 missile bays and 6 missiles. The robot has a range of 100 feet. It can handle rocks, gravel, grass, and sand.
So you are looking for a RC drone that looks like a flying saucer? The UDI U845 Voyager 6 UFO Hexacopter is worth a look. It is an RC drone with 720p HD camera. It comes with a headless mode and can perform 360-degree roll stunts. The drone comes with a 6-axis flight control system.
Meet ROBi: a versatile robot with RFID technology that automates cycle counts. ROBi consists of Fetch Robotic’s mobile robot platform to autonomously capture label from all angles and directions. As the company explains:
ROBi provides a 3D map of the facility and part location as part of the cycle count. Together, the richness of accurate inventory data along with inventory location greatly enhances inventory management and retrieval
This video shows the robot in action.
Here is another drone capable of perching on vertical surfaces like a bird. Sherbrooke’s Multimodal Autonomous Drone (S-MAD) can land or take off from walls. It uses a “thrust-assisted pitch-up” to slow down before touchdown.
The drone also has microspines to cling to walls. Such ability is great for inspection and other tasks regular drones may not be suitable for. The above video shows it in action.

Meet the TRobotix SeaDragon: an underwater robot with a 1080p camera that lets you capture the underwater world. It has a highly maneuverable vectored thruster configuration and can go down to 200m. The robot is powered by quick-swappable batteries.
Meet the robotiX: an auto part loading and unloading system with a simple user interface for creating robotic motion control programs. It integrates with NSI’s efX software to reduce cycle times and increase productivity. This video shows what you can do with it:

Here is a 3D printed robotic arm built for sign language. This affordable robot translates spoken language to sign language. ASLAN is built with 25 3D printed parts with 16 servos controlled by an Arduino board. A smart glove is used to interact with the robot.
Remember the Makerarm? It is a versatile robotic arm with interchangeable heads that can be used for 3D printing, milling, laser engraving, and electronic assembly. You can use it to solder, carve, and perform a wide variety of other tasks. This video shows the robot completing soldering:
Here is another humanoid robot you can control from your iOS or Android device. The RGKNSE Intelligent Robot features WiFi connectivity and Bluetooth. It also links via a SIM card. It comes with a camera and display to allow you to chat with others.
