Here is a humanoid robot designed specifically for researchers. The HR-OS5 Humanoid Robot has a 5052 aircraft aluminum construction and modular design. You get 12 MX-106T, 6 MX-64T, and 2 MX-28T DYNAMIXEL servos from ROBOTIS to get started. The on-board CPU has an Intel NUC D54250WYK (with an Intel Core i5-4250U, 4 GB RAM, and 32 GB storage).
We have covered plenty of humanoid robots here in the past. Not all of them are capable of achieving highly dynamic, efficient locomotion. DURUS is different. It is a humanoid robot with stable bipedal locomotion. It is strong and fast.
Most drones are capable of flying in the air only. The Loon Copter is different. It is a versatile multi-rotor platform that flies in the air, floats on the surface of the water with its sensors below it, and can even perform moves underwater. Since it is buoyant, the Loon Copter does not require any energy to float.
Keeping robots balanced is always a challenge. We have already covered plenty of cool robots that can keep their balance when pushed. This robot is capable of keeping itself balanced using its hands. As you can see, the robot uses its hands to return to its original position when pushed or kicked.
Meet the Thunder Tiger K-Rock: a rugged RC toy that lets you pull of fancy moves outside. It has a realistic roll cage and a durable chassis. K-Rock has electroplated wheels, a 17mm aluminum hub, LED lights, and a realistic sound system. The below video shows what you can do with it:
Robots are already being used by manufacturers for operational efficiency. As the below video shows, DENSO VS-Series robots can be used to perform inspection of parts with curved reflective surfaces. These robots are fast and have a 7 kg max payload capacity. The robot has a footprint of only 200 x 200 mm.
Robotic Rubik’s Cube solvers are nothing new. We have covered a bunch of them in the past. This robot is capable of solving a Rubik’s cube puzzle in just over 1 second. It has webcams, stepper motors, and a mechanism for the robot to turn the cube. The system relies on an algorithm to find the fewest number of moves to solve the puzzle.
Meet the Bub Drone: a tiny FPV quadcopter with a 720p camera that you can control from your smartphone or tablet. It has an adjustable speed and flexible propellers. This mini quadcopter is capable of performing 360-degree flips and rotations. It has a 6-axis gyro to provide you with a stable flight.
Meet Care-O-bot 4 : a modular robot assistant designed support humans in their daily life. It can be used to deliver food, assist with cleaning, and more. Businesses can rely on it to support and provide better service to customers. Care-O-bot 4 has 6 plug & play modules and up to 31 degrees of freedom. The robot has a touchscreen, microphones, and speaker.
So you want to build your own robotic flamethrower? FollowNikko has published a quick guide that shows you how to get started. This Arduino-powered flamethrower robot is the work of a 19-year-old Engineering student. You are going to need an Arduino Nano, Bluetooth module, Servo TowerPro SG5010 , batteries, brass pipe, steel sheet, trolley wheel, and a few other parts to complete this project.
