Meet the Bagotte BG950 Max: an AI controlled robot vacuum that you can control with Alexa, Google Home, and your smartphone. It has 3500pa suction power, so it can get rid of pet hair and debris. It can clean up to 200 square meters. This robot runs on a 3200mAh battery for 200 minutes.
This is the ExoMotus M4: a lower limb exoskeleton robot that helps patients recovering from a stroke or dealing with spinal cord injurie. It helps patients walk and train in passive, assistive, motive, and resistance modes. It enables users to achieve rhythmic walking and minimize abnormal gait patterns.
This is the LimX Dynamics X1: a quadruped robot that can take irregular steps and overcome uneven terrain. It relies on real-time perception to output HD terrain map for locomotion control. It uses a thermal imager for remote data collection. As the below video shows, this robot managed to navigate a 38-degree staircase.

In the future, robots are going to do most of our space exploration for us. Plenty of researchers are working on perfecting them. This video from Kostas Alexis shows a jumping legged robot for Martial lava tube exploration. It is optimized for jumping in the low gravity of mars. As the researchers explain, this robot “utilizes torque-controlled actuators coupled with springs for high-power jumping.”
The robot used in this test is 0.47m tall, weighing 7.9kg. It jumped 1.14m in Earth’s gravity. Simulations show this robot can jump 3.63m in Mars’ gravity.

Robotic mowers are getting smarter all the time. The Segway Navimow H1500N-VF is one of the most advanced models on the market. It comes with RTK positioning, obstacle avoidance, and app control. Thanks to its VisionFence Sensor, this AI robot can detect various objects to move around them.
We teased the DeepRobotics X30 quadruped robot a while back. More info has now been released. This industrial quadruped robot is ideal for inspection, security, surveying, and mapping. This robot has max speed of 4 m/s with endurance of up to 4 hours. It is IP67 rated.
The X30 has max load capacity of 20kg. It can overcome slopes up to 45 degrees. It can overcome 20cm steps.

Robot vacuums are getting smarter and more affordable all the time. The Tikom L9000 is a robot vacuum and mop with 4000pa suction power that can clean your home up to 150 minutes per charge. It has supports 14 no-go zones. This robot comes with Alexa and app control.
The L9000 has a 300ML dust bin and 250ML water tank. It is suitable for hard floors, tiles, wooden floors, and low-pile carpets.
This is the HOOKII Neomow S: a parallel mowing robotic lawnmower with GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi, and 4G connectivity that cuts grass more efficiently. It runs on a 4400 mAh battery and can cover 3230 sq.Ft on a single charge. You can use your phone to put the robot on a schedule and set mowing mode.
Meet the LimX Dynamics W1: a wheeled quadruped robot that combines the advantages of legged and wheeled robots to overcome uneven terrains. It can climb stairs, handle ascending and descending slopes, and overcome bumpy roads. The W1 features dynamic motion. The below video shows how this robot can overcome challenging terrains:

Shape changing robots are nothing new. We have covered a bunch of them here in the past. Most of them don’t have their shape changing function embedded in their body. Researchers have now developed 3 robotic systems with “shape actuation, sensing, and locking, all embedded in a robot’s body.”
