This is the CIRCUITMESS Batmobile: an AI robot car that teaches kids coding. This autonomous car is easy to assemble and can be programmed via drag & drop. It has dance, ball tracking and marker tracking modes. This kit comes with step by step instructions. The Batmobile has WiFi, 4 metal gearmotors, a dual core processor, a rechargeable battery, and a camera that lets you see what your car sees.
Meet the Bittle X: a palm-sized, open source programmable robot dog with voice and app control. It supports block-based, C++, and Python programming. It has over 35 predefined actions, so it can sit, play dead, and backflip. It also has 10 additional programmable voice commands.
Meet the CHASING F1 Pro: a smart fishing drone with a 360-degree camera that combines with your iOS and Android device for livestreaming. It is rated to depths of up to 20 meters. This underwater drone has a GPS function to mark fishing spots and return.
This is the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra: a 6000Pa suction robot vacuum and mop that gets rid of dirt on your floor without you having to break a sweat. It features dual brushing and sonic mopping. It has smart obstacle avoidance, LiDAR navigation and multi-level mapping.
In the past few years, we have covered plenty of soft robots and controllers here. MIRMI researchers have come up with a framework for silicone-based skin-like sensors for objects of arbitrary shapes. For instance, strain sensors were used to control a robot finger with hand movement.
This is the Black Hornet PRS: a reconnaissance drone designed to improve situational awareness for soldiers. It has low visual and sound signatures, making it ideal for covert operations. This drone weighs only 1.3kg. It has max speed of 6m/sec. It lasts up to 25 minutes.
Here is another general-purpose humanoid robot that can be programmed to take on a variety of tasks. Fourier Intelligence’s GR-1 humanoid robot was recently showcased on YouTube. It can avoid obstacles and overcome inclined spaces.The below video shows it in action:

This is the WYBOT Osprey 700: a cordless robotic pool cleaner that saves you time with pool maintenance. It has intelligent path planning and uses advanced sensors to navigate your pool with precision while optimizing its cleaning path.
Robots are going to do many things for us in space in the future, including exploring other planets. Swiss engineers are working to make robots fit for future lunar missions. ETH Zurich engineers have come up with a team of robots that work together to map unknown terrain and identify minerals. While two of these robots are specialized, the third one is a generalist. The below video shows them in action:
