Here is another kit that teaches children programming. Robopal Programming Blocks kit comes with modules that represent code. Once a code is completed, Robopal performs the action. The robot can be programmed to trace a line and perform other moves.
Meet the Airdog ADII: another auto-follow drone that captures all the action as you perform tricks and moves in the outdoors. It has built-in LIDAR and smart algorithms to avoid collisions. Its AirLeash allows you to interact and control the drone conveniently.
There are plenty of cool robotics kits available for researchers and students these days. The Soft Robotics Development Kit is designed for those of you interested in developing your own soft robots. With the SRDK, you can experiment with various grippers. You also get a controller, desktop software to control the grip settings, and other connectors and tubing.
So you wish you had extra fingers to do more with your hands? The Third Thumb project explores such an idea. It is a 3D printed thumb controlled by your feet. You can use it to hold your phone, pick things up, and do a whole lot more. The prosthetic device is made up of a 3D printed flexible thumb, two servos, and a bowden cable system.
Meet the OLLOBOT: a simple robotic platform that lets you use your smartphone for DIY smart home projects. You get to use the Android platform to teach the robot new skills. The OLLOBOT has a controller, motors with encoders, Bluetooth, and a rechargeable battery.
There are multiple ways to teach robots new skills. New ways are always being explored by experts though. Chinese Researchers are teach robots how to carry out tasks by demonstrating them in virtual reality. The operator sees objects through the robot’s camera and relies on a HTC Vive system to show the machine what to do.
Here is a drone inspired by the movie Spider-Man Homecoming. It is powered by Viper Flight 5 and has auto hover and land capability. You also get automatic and manual flight modes. Front and rear LED lights are available for low-light situations.
Plenty of companies are working on developing Iron Man like suits. Take the NK-01 Exoskeleton Suit for instance. It is being developed by Chinese company FutureWise. It won’t have any weapons but will entertain its owner. This is expected to become commercially produced in the future.
Here is another cool RC toy for Star Wars fans. The Tie Fighter RC Plane comes with ducted propellers, long-range controller, and a sturdy structure. It has a 2.4GHz communication system and lets you maneuver it in the air easily.
Robots are going to do many things for us in the future, including serving foods at restaurants. Take this female robot waitress in Pakistan. It is being used at a popular fast food restaurant in Multan to replace human waiters.
