We have seen plenty of robot dogs that can recover from a fall. This video from KAIST Urban Robotics Lab shows how this can be done with more agility in unstructured environments. As this video shows, this robot dog can recover on grass, stairs, and other surfaces.
This is the Dreame L10s Pro Ultra Heat Robot Vacuum: a smart robot with AI obstacle detection that cleans your home efficiently. It cleans its mops with hot water and can remove stubborn stains. This robot has a 4 liter dirty water tank and a 4.5 liter clean water tank. It has 7000Pa suction power.
This is the ACFARM Blue RR 500 Robotic Lawn Mower: another app connected mower that cuts your grass without you having to break a sweat. This particular model is ideal for 0.25acres lawns. It can handle 47% slopes. To get started, you simply have to install the charging base and perimeter wire, and connect the mower to your phone.
Robots are still slower than humans in many tasks. Plenty of researchers are working to change that. A team from the University of Cambridge is using machine learning algorithms to teach a robot to read braille twice as fast as humans. It can reach braille at speeds of 315 words per minute. The below video shows this robot in action.
ChatGPT can make your life a whole lot easier but most people prefer it was accessible on more devices. The AI HoloBox gives GPT a more interactive interface. It has a 6-inch holographic screen with 4GB RAM and 32GB of storage space. It has WiFi connectivity. This gadget is about the size of a water bottle.
Plenty of robots are teleoperated in challenging environments but there are various limitations to this approach. This video shows how mixed reality can be used to enhance the efficiency of humanoid robot teleoperation. By combining user motion with autonomous features, robots can get the job done with human-like motion.
This is the Blueye X1: a mini research robot that can perform inspection under water. It has a 3300lm work light for low conditions. The X1 can be deployed in 90 seconds. Its battery lasts up to 5 hours. This robot works with the Newton gripper that can be controlled from your smartphone.
Robots doing backflips and other challenging moves with agility is nothing new. MagicLab has shared a new video that shows a humanoid robot performing a somersault. They used a D190 joint module with a rated output torque of 150Nm, a maximum output torque of over 525Nm and a maximum speed of over 110RPM.
This is the X1 Robot Bed Vacuum: a smart robot that keeps your bed clean of dust mites and bacteria. Unlike other robots of this kind, it has smart path planning and sensors to get around obstacles and avoid falls.
This is the OTTO 600: a mid-size autonomous mobile robot that can move loads up to 1322lbs. This nimble robot has max speed of 2 m/s. It measures 70cm wide, so it can operate in small spaces. This robot has a total footprint of 1050 x 700 x 320 mm. It has Ethernet, USB, GPIO, and other ports.
This robot uses 2 x forward facing 3D cameras, 2 LiDARs, and a 6-axis IMU. It has a fanless embedded computer. You can find out more about it here.
