Living in a smart apartment is not fun when you don’t have space for your things. Ori’s robotic home solution gives you more room to breathe in your home. We are talking about pieces of furniture that move to turn your bedroom into an office or a living room.
Robots are going to do many things for us in the future, including pole dancing. Tobit Software has developed programmable pole dancing robots, called Tess and Lexy, that can be controlled via a PC or Android smartphone. They may not be as nimble as regular pole dancers, but they can move their head and other parts to put on a show.
Here is another humanoid robot kit designed to get kids familiar with robots and programming. The RQ-HUNO robot has a visual software and supports various programming languages. It comes with SAM-3 robot actuators and a controller capable of storing up to 21 motions and 10 autonomous behaviors.
Meet the Zenmuse Z3 from DJI: an aerial zoom camera with up to 7x zoom, allowing operators to zoom on subjects from a safe distance. The camera is compatible with the Inspire 1, Matrice 100 and Matrice 600 drones. With Lightbridge 2, you get a range of up to 3.1 miles for HD transmission.
Meet the LOCOOP Y: an accurate robotic 3D printer that uses delta technology to provide you with higher level of precision. It has a 50 micron printing resolution and no layer shift. The touchscreen display lets you select items to print from a SD card, run the cleaning cycle, and calibrate the printer.
In the past few months, we have covered plenty of awesome robot hands here. The Mecha TE Gen2 Robot Hand is quite special though. It has 10 points of motion and 5 degrees of freedom. You can get soft silicone fingertips to grasp anything you want.
Meet Heron: an unmanned surface vessel with a portable design, shallow profile, and built-in GPS that lets you perform a wide variety of research projects. This USV is ready for developers. It has dual payloads for submerged and above water sensors.
So you want to build your own robot spider? The XYZRobot-Bolide Crawler kit has you covered. It lets you use your XYZrobot Bolide‘s 18 A1-16 Smart Servos to get started. You can control your robot from your iOS or Android device. You get 3 servos on each leg, so the crawler can walk on uneven surfaces.
Meet Sakura No. 2 from Mitsubishi Heavy Industry Ltd. and the Chiba Institute of Technology. A disaster-response robot that can operate in areas with flammable gases after a disaster. It relies on cameras, tread belts, and antenna for remote control. The robot runs on battery for up to 2.5 hours.
Here is a robotic hand that can reproduce the finger movements of a human. It has motors from Firgelli and can be controlled with an Arduino Nano. As Protogene Factory shows in this video, this hand has independent finger movements and can hold tools. It also offers wrist control. It can be upgraded with new sensors.
