Meet the REEM-C Humanoid Robot: a research tool for studying human-robot interactions. The robot measures 1.65m tall, weighing 80kg. It is flexible, modular, and open, so you can access sensors and actuators. REEM-C understands English and can speak 9 languages out of the box.
Here is a hybrid hydrostatic transmission and haptic telepresence robot that can handle delicate objects. According to Disney Research, the humanoid robot has two 4 DOF arms connected via the hydrostatic transmission to an identical master. It also has stereo cameras that stream live video to the operator’s head-mounted display. The operator feels interaction forces between the robot and its environment.
Here is an ingestible origami robot that can unfold from a swallowed capsule to deliver medicine, patch wounds, or remove foreign objects. It is steered by external magnetic fields and can crawl across the stomach wall to remove a button battery.
Here is a robot controller that allows your robotic arms to mimic your movements. It is intuitive to use and offers torso tilt, continuous wrist roll, and gripper control. You can perform a variety of complex tasks with it.
What’s better than a railgun? Maybe a custom-made railgun robot with a scope for mobility and accuracy. This particular railgun tank (35,000 Joules) by Ziggy Zee was built using a RoboteX robot.
Meet the Flyability Elios: a collision-tolerant drone with a HD and thermal camera for inspection jobs. It provides a live video feed to allow the operator to see what the drone sees. The drone can be used to capture images from confined spaces without any risk to workers.
Robots are going to play bigger roles in our factories in the future. As KUKA’s video shows, in the future, robots will connect to the cloud to use machine learning and big data for optimized production. These smart robots can be used to solve modern production challenges.
In the past few months, we have covered the Sawyer robot a lot here. It is a smart collaborative robot with many applications. This video shows how it is suited for metal fabrication applications.
Landing a UAV on a moving car at a high speed is easier said than done. DLR researchers have pulled it off though. The UAV has an optical multi-marker tracking system to detect the ground vehicle. The system works for safely landing ultralight aircraft without landing gear.
