Meet the TeraRanger Tower Rangefinder for robots: a simultaneous localization, mapping, and collision avoidance system that works for ground and airborne robots. It serves as a ROS compatible alternative to traditional LIDAR sensors.
Here is another advanced prosthetic hand that can make life easier for lots of people. The PSYONIC bionic hand is an affordable robotic hand with fingers that can flex and extend and a thumb that rotates. The hand is controlled through muscle signals from the forearm.
Here is a cute robotic toy for astronauts on the International Space Station to play with. The Int-Ball is a spherical camera that can record video while moving in space. The recorded images and videos can be reviewed by researches on the ground in real-time.
Meet the Digital Farmhand robot: a row crop robot designed to help farmers automate tasks and perform crop analytics. The robot has a modular design and can work with a sprayer, seeder, tine weeder and tow ball hitch. The platform comes with an actuated 3 point hitch mechanism.
Here is another robot capable of performing pipe inspection and transmitting video. The Pan/Tilt MiniBot comes with LED lights, GoPro mount, and a rugged aluminum construction. The operator can move the camera to get a better view of what’s happening inside the pipe.
Here is another bio-inspired robot designed to study walking on rough terrain. The LAURON is a 6-legged walking robot actuated by 24 joints. Its head can move in 2 directions, so the robot has a total 26 degrees of freedom.
Meet the DRL RacerX: the world’s fastest racing drone capable of max speed of 179.6mph speed. It achieved an average speed of 163.5mph to achieve the Guinness world record. The drone is handmade with 3D printed parts, BeeRotor 80A (10S) ESCs, 10S (42V) Powertrain, TMotor F80 2407 2500kv, and 2 1300mah batteries.
In the past few months, we have covered plenty of powerful agricultural robots that can make life easier for farmers. The ROVR is a remote operate vineyard robot operated with virtual reality. Such a system enables growers to reduce costs and complexities.
Here is another robot that your children can play with to learn programming and other STEM concepts. The IronBot Chap is ideal for kids from 8 and up. It is modular and can be built in 3 forms. These robots can battle, kick tiny balls, and do a lot more.
Meet Surena Mini: Iran’s latest robot developed by engineers at the university of Tehran. The robot has 20 servomotors, a computer, and sensors to perform a variety of tasks. It can dance, perform a karate chop, and a lot more. These videos show it in action:
