In the past few months, we have covered a bunch of robot kits and parts from ROBOTIS here. The XM430-W210-R is a networked actuator module for building multi-joint robots. It has 6 operating modes and current-based torque control.
Robots are going to do many things for us in the future. Plenty of businesses are already using them to automate tasks. This robot is a bartender and bottle opener. It is being used at an East China beer festival. The robot can pick up a bottle of beer, open it, and pour it into a glass, and serve customers in just 30 seconds.
Meet the SoftWear Automatic Sewing Machine: a robot that automates the sewing process by controlling the feed and orientation of the fabric using multi-degree freedom feed dogs. The ASM has a max speed of 400 mm/s with accuracy of 19.5 um.
Meet the FlytPOD: a development platform for drone research with an octa core processor that lets your drone connect to the cloud and talk to other drones. It will also be able to share data to ground devices. FlytPOD runs advanced algorithms for obstacle avoidance, object tracking, autonomous landing, and more.
Vacuum cleaning robots have gotten a lot more advanced over the past few years. In the near future, they will be able to monitor your home and interact with smart home devices in addition to keeping your rooms clean. Take the UNIBOT for instance. This robot moves in your home and lets you know when there are issues.
Here is a robotic pet designed to keep your kids entertained. The Tenko Interactive Kitty Cat responds to sound, voice, and hand gestures. It walks, sits, begs, and jumps. You can program it to sing.
The UR5 is one of the most flexible robot arms around. It lets you automate repetitive and dangerous tasks. The arm has a payload of up to 5kg. The OptoForce 6-axis sensor enables this robotic arm to determine the gravitational center of the impact on the main surface when assembling things.
Here is a smart glove that can be used to control a robotic arm wirelessly. This 3D Printed Arduino Robotic Gripper can be used to pick up fruits, handle a tool, and do a whole lot more. This video shows a quick demo of this robot and the glove:

So you are looking for a robot to keep your children entertained? The Boombot Humanoid Robot can help. It is a cute robot for kids age 5+. It has 60 interactive responsive and 6 different game modes.
Meet the iRobot Roomba 960: a vacuum cleaning robot with a cloud connected app that lets you control it from your smartphone. It also features mapping and adaptive navigation with visual localization to clean the floors efficiently. The machine has 5x the air power over previous generation vacuum cleaners.
