Here is another autonomous mower that can cut a lot of grass without you having to break a sweat. It comes with LiDAR based obstacle detection and avoidance. It has a cutting width of 100 inches. This robot can mow up to 25 acres per charge at 7 acres/hr on battery. It recharges in two hours. This mower has 4 electric drive motors with 2 independent steering motors.
Here is a clever drone with a pliable robotic arm that can pick up and manipulate objects from the air. The Make IT Happen Drone has max speed of 15m/s with max payload capacity of 10kg. It has 6 motors and offers multi-angle grabbing and detection. It has interchangeable end-effectors.

Here is a soft robot system for poultry automation. Soft Robotics’ mGripAI relies on AI and 3D vision to process food more efficiently. It has IP69K rated soft grippers which work with the intelligence module to pick items
The idea of designing exoskeletons to take load off workers is nothing new. We have covered a bunch of them here in the past. The StreamEXO by Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia is designed to assist railway workers with maintenance and renewal operations. It reduces risk of muscle fatigue and physical overload.
This back support exoskeleton supports the workers during lifting and load carrying activities. It has a battery that lasts up to 6 hours.

Meet the Titan: a versatile delivery robot with 300kg capacity that can be used to transfer a wide range of materials and equipment. It can overcome obstacles up to 12cm and slopes up to 10 degrees. This robot can take on wet, slippery, and steep slopes. As the below video shows, this robot has quick, hot swappable batteries.
Meet the XAG R150: an unmanned ground vehicle designed for farming tasks. It has a max speed of 1.2m/s and can climb slopes up to 15 degrees. It comes with app connectivity, so you can operate the machine with one app. The XAG R150 is compatible with iOS and Android devices.
Agricultural drones can save farmers time and money with spraying, fertilizing and seeding. Take the XAG P100 Pro for instance: it is a fully autonomous drone with 50kg capacity. It is an electric unmanned aerial robot with a XAG RevoSpray 3 system and 50-liter smart liquid tank that can spray at a flow rate of 22 liters per minute. With the RevoCast 3 system, it can spread 50kg of fertilizer in 20 seconds.
This is the Amiga Robot: a tractor robot that can take on mowing, spraying, hauling, and other farming tasks. You can connect mowing decks, harvest carts, and compost spreaders to this robot. The Amiga can haul up to 1000lbs of payload.
Here are soft tiny robots that can be controlled by a weak magnet. Scientists in Polina Anikeeva’s lab at MIT’s McGovern Institute made these robots from rubbery magnetic spirals. They can be programmed to walk, crawl, and swim. This can be accomplished with a magnetic field.
Meet the ModalAI VOXL 2 Starling: a development drone for indoor and outdoor applications. It is compact enough to fit in the palm of your hand but has a powerful processor for AI computing. The VOXL 2 weighs only 275g. It has a Qualcomm QRB5165 processor with 8 cores. It can fly for over 30 minutes.
