This is the meca500: a 6-axis robotic arm with 96.5% light absorption. It is designed for tasks where light reflections need to be avoided. It uses INNOCISE’s precise-handling grippers for automation tasks. The below video shows this robot in action. According to the company, this robot is currently in beta:
This is the BabyAlpha: a robotic dog with natural language capability to engage in conversations with your kids. It can sing, dance, and make video calls. It features a fully autonomous indoor driving system. You can even use this robot dog as a security guard. BabyAlpha supports graphical and high-level language coding.
This is the Ramiel: a parallel-wire driven monopedal robot that can achieve high & continuous jumping. It has one DoF of linear motion and two DoFs of rotation. It is controlled by 6 wires. This robot can achieve max jumping height of 1.6m and can do 7 continuous jumps.
KUKA robots can take on all kinds of tasks. They can be used to create a work of art. Take the KUKA KR240 R2900: it is a marble milling robot that was used to create a sculpture by A. Senoner. A 3D scanned version of a scaled down model of the final work was used to determine the path for the robot to follow. The below video shows it in action:

Robots are wonderful tools to use to teach kids coding. The Makeblock Cyberpi coding kit comes with everything your kids would need to get started with robots. It has an auto driving car with an oscillating fan and a smart trash bin. It supports Python and Scratch programming.
Here is a drone dock designed specifically for the Tesla Cybertruck. The HEISHA DCap CT has a stainless steel design with IP55 rating. This dock is compatible with DJI Mavic 3, Skydio, Autel, and Parrot drones. It is controlled with “local PDA or HEISHA’s DNEST4 software.” You can use apps such as FlytNow.
HEISHA’s DNEST4 and FlytBase’s FlytNow software allow for autonomous takeoff and landing. The open SDK allows for additional extensions.

This is the X-Fly: a nature inspired flying robot that soars, dives, and flutters like a bird or insect. It comes with app control, so you can use your smartphone to easily maneuver it. You can also get an optional joystick (X-Play). The X-Fly also has a LED add-on that creates a cool halo around it.
This is Arthur by ROPCA ApS and KUKA: an arthritis robot based on the LBR Med that helps with the early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis using robot assisted ultrasound. It allows autonomous examination, addressing the shortage of specialists in this field.
Here is another smart robot that cleans your pool without you having to break a sweat. The ScavBots Pool Cleaner features intelligent path planning, 6 hours of battery and multiple cleaning modes. It can cover up to 9700ft2 of space.
ScavBots has 1200Pa suction power with a flow rate of 4800GPH. Its app lets you remote control the robot. This robot has bottom, full coverage and waterline cleaning modes.
