Getting children familiar with robots and electronics is a smart idea. Thanks to educational robots like GoBox, parents are going to have an easier time getting their young engineers-to-be excited. They get light, sound, ultrasonic sensors, and a bunch of other modules to experiment with robots. Monthly robotics missions are delivered to you on a monthly basis with new tools and instructions.
In the past few months, we have seen a bunch of awesome drones. Not all of them are capable of delivering 4K videos. Snap is a different drone. It has a Sony Exmor 4k sensor, gimbal stabilization, and a portable design. Snap knows where you are and can track you automatically. It relies on MagConnect technology to break apart on impact and survive accidents.
Robots are going to do many things for us in the future. Will they also replace gymnasts? Maybe not. But the Floor Gymnast Robot is already capable of performing challenging moves. The developer has used accelerometers, gyroscopes, and plenty of other sensors to pull this off.
What do you think? Are you impressed?
