In the past few months, we have covered people doing all kinds of interesting things with their drones. These guys have attached a chainsaw to a drone to control it from a remote location. It can be used to cut branches and maybe even attack zombies from a safe distance.
Here is an educational robot that dances to music. Wigl hears notes from any instrument and responds with lights, movements, and special moves. It has a microphone, microcontroller, and motors. It has an auto and programming modes.
In the past few years, we have covered plenty of awesome robotic arms. The Lynxmotion AL5D PLTW Robotic Arm is another kit with everything you need for your robotics projects. This 4 degrees of freedom robotic arm offers accurate, repeatable movement. It comes with a SSC-32U servo controller board, FlowArm software, and everything you need to get started.
Meet the IG52 Mecanum Wheel Robot: a programmable robot that can move in any direction. This Arduino robot comes with a CNC cut 4WD base, 8 inch Mecanum wheels, IG52 24V 136RPM gear motors, Sabertooth 2x25A Motor Controller, 12V battery, and everything you need to get started. The robot weighs about 60 lbs.
The above video shows how this robot performs.
Meet the R700 Vector Robotic Arm: a programmable aluminum robotic arm with 6 degrees of freedom and an ATmega64 microprocessor. You can control the robot via a computer or keyboard. The RACS software lets you record and play back the movements of the robot. This robotic arm has an expandable design. Wireless control is available optionally.
Meet the Typhoon H 4K Hexacopter: an aerial vehicle that lets you capture beautiful footage in the air. It comes with a CGO3+ 4K-resolution camera and the ST16 Personal Ground Station, which has a 7″ Android touchscreen display. The drone comes with retractable landing gear and collision avoidance.
Robots are getting good at many things. In the future, they may be able to handle weapons like a pro. Take this sword-fighting robot. It recognizes the positions of a human player the sword to react. The moment it detects the human is moving, the robot predicts possible trajectories of the sword of the human player by a least-squares method.
Meet the Codeybot: a cute robot developed to teach your children a thing or two about programming. This fully customizable robot can be programmed to dance, play music, and even shoot lasers (with an add-on).
Meet the FlyPro XEagle drone: a smart drone that you can control with a smartwatch or your voice. It offers autonomous flight modes, obstacle avoidance, and image stabilization. It comes with a 4K video camera for livestreaming.
In the past few months, we have covered a bunch of interesting robotics projects by NamikiLaboratory. This video shows robots throwing and grasping objects with accuracy. As you can see, the robot throws an object in the air and calculates the proper position to recapture it. The below video shows the whole sequence:
