Meet the Unitree Go2 AI Robot Dog: an advanced robot with a 4G LiDAR (360 x90-degree viewing angle) with all-terrain awareness. It can analyze data from GPT to make decisions. This robot can jump, stretch, cheer, pounce, and shake hands. It has remote controlled and automatic tracking. It has 12 knee joint motors and a foot force sensor.
This is the Vertidrive V700: a blasting robot with 3 large nozzles for steel surface treatment. It can be used on storage tanks and ships. This robot can work on any steel surface with magnetic properties. The V700 has a strong motor, frame, and swing arm. It has an adjustable rear magnet.
Here is another agricultural drone that can save farmers time and money spraying their crops. The Pelican Spray Autonomous Electric Crop Duster has a short takeoff and precise spraying performance. It is ready for night operations. This drone has 4 electric motors with 100kW combined power.
Here is a soft robotic gripper that doesn’t require electronics to work. Roboticists at the University of California San Diego collaborated with BASF corporation researchers to make this robotic gripper. Here is how it works:
We designed functions so that a series of valves would allow the gripper to both grip on contact and release at the right time. It’s the first time such a gripper can both grip and release. All you have to do is turn the gripper horizontally. This triggers a change in the airflow in the valves, making the two fingers of the gripper release
explained Yichen Zhai.
Here is a tiny camera designed to be mounted to your drone. The RunCam Thumb Pro 4K has a 150-degree field of view. It also weighs 16g, which makes it ideal for quadcopters. It has gyroflow stabilization for silky smooth video.
Drones can do a lot of things for us already. They can be used for all kinds of inspection tasks. Opening doors can be challenging for them. This video from Autonomous Systems Laboratory, ETH Zurich, shows what it takes to open doors with aerial vehicles. It is an omnidirectional micro aerial vehicle that can perform a door opening task with a policy that is trained in a physics simulator. The drone can also close doors.

Meet the DJI Air 3: a smart drone with tele & wide-angle cameras that is ready for your outdoor adventures. It has 4K/100, 4K/60 HDR or 2.7K vertical video capability. It lasts up to 46 minutes on battery. This drone has multiple pre-programmed flight modes. It comes with omnidirectional APAS 5.0 avoidance. It also has a smart return to home function, so it can plot an optimized flight route back to its base.
This is the Ganker EX Pro: an agile combat robot with a wearable controller that mimics your movement. In comparison to its predecessor, it is faster, stronger, and lasts longer on battery. It has 9 servo motors to mimic human motion. It can move 360-degrees at 5m/s.
Here is another robot that can teach your kids coding. The ModMi has a modular design and supports drag & teach and scratch programming. More advanced students can write code to program this robot. The ModMi robot has sound, color, infrared, ultrasonic, and other sensors.
It is no secret that Boston Dynamics’ Spot is capable of taking on many tasks. Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has five Boston Dynamics’ Spot already deployed through its operations. As they explain in the below video, they can now rely on Spot to perform circuit breaker tripping and racking autonomously.
