Meet the Kress Mission Mega RTKn 9: a satellite guided robotic mower that doesn’t require a boundary wire to work. This particular model can handle up to 9 acres of lawn. It features satellite-precise multi-zone management. With TeamWork, multiple robots operate within the same area.
Meet the BlueRobotics BlueBoat: a robotic surface vessel with open source software that can be used for scientific missions. It has a rugged construction with weedless hull and propeller design. The BlueBoat can carry any payload up to 33lbs.
Meet the OTSAW ASR: an indoor and outdoor security robot that can safeguard environments efficiently. It has a laser scanning LiDAR to perceive its environment. This robot comes with vehicle and person detection, so it can operate safely and avoid obstacles.
This is the Unitree H1: a general purpose AI humanoid robot that you can get your hands on for under $90k. It uses a 3D LiDAR and Depth camera to perceive its surroundings. It has a mxx joint torque of 360NM. This robot weighs under 104lbs.
This is the DroneGun Mk4: a handheld drone jammer that helps you deal with the threat of rogue drones. When triggered, it will force drones to land vertically in a controlled fashion or return to the operator. It also has RF disruption to interfere with livestreaming capability of aerial robots.
Here is a robot that mimics a real sea turtle’s propulsion. It has front flippers that move it forward while its hind flippers let it change direction. This robot has an oval-shaped body with 4 independently RC flippers. It also has a multisensor device and an on-board control unit. Its body frame and flipper connectors are 3D printed.
Yasemin Ozkan-Aydin, Nnamdi Chikere, and John Simon McElroy are behind this robot. You can find out more here.
Here is a shape shifting display designed by engineers at CU Boulder and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems that brings a sense of touch to digital work. It has 100 soft robots that activate 50 times per second to allow users to draw 3D designs. The below video shows it in action:
