This is the roborock S7 Max Ultra: a 5500pa robot vacuum and mop that is smart enough to get around obstacles and suggest no-go zones automatically. It also has an auto lift function, so you don’t have to worry about it causing a mess. This robot has a LiDAR based navigation system. The RockDock Ultra empties the robot automatically and stores up to 7 weeks of debris.
Here is another robot kit that combines with Raspberry Pi to take your electronics and coding skills to the next level. The Yahboom Raspberry Pi 4B Robot Tank is ready for Python and C++ programming. It has an aluminum alloy chassis with a 3DOF arm and 2DOF camera gimbal.
In the past few years, we have covered a whole host of videos showing what Unitree robots are capable of delivering. The Unitree B1 Power Inspection Robot is also worth a look. It has advanced recognition features and uses 3D LiDAR to plan an inspection path to avoid collisions. It has a super telephoto camera to read meter data remotely.
This is the UNIHIKER SBC: a single-board computer with a 2.8-inch touchscreen display that you can use for all kinds of IoT and robotics projects. It comes with a light sensor, gyroscope, accelerometer, and microphone. It can connect to a variety of analog/digital/I2C/UART/SPI sensors.
In order to play games like poker, you are going to need a card dealer. The good news is there are a bunch of mini robots you can rely on to have your cards dealt. They are available in battery and wired versions. You simply have to insert your deck of cards, choose the number of players and cards to be dealt, and the rest is easy.
Many of these poker robots allow you to attach an extender to use multiple decks. More information is available here.
