Meet the Dobot Nova 5: a collaborative robotic arm with a compact design that can be used for restaurant automation. It can handle 500 cups of coffee or 300 bowls of noodles a day. This robot has a noise rating of IP54. It has a max payload capacity of 5kg.
The Nova 5 has a max reach of 850mm. It has a working radios of 24.6 inches. You can find out more here.
In the future, many robots will use GPT and other similar AI models to better understand commands and how to get them done. Take Digit for instance: when asked to do something, the robot sends a prompt to an LLM to figure out how to complete its task given its environment.
This is Milrem Robotics’ Type-X Robotic Combat Vehicle: a powerful robot with a modular design that can be outfitted with several 25 mm to 50 mm autocannons. It has a max speed of 80km/h with max payload capacity of 4100kg. It is developed to navigate the battlefield autonomously.
Meet the Remocon Rover: a home robot that you can control over the internet to keep an eye on your property. You can drive it using your smartphone or computer. It also has a charging station. You don’t need a special app to control this robot. The below video shows this robot in action:
In the future, robots will be used to do plenty of tasks on the moon and other planets. Plenty of companies and researchers are working to perfect these the technology. This video shows GITAI’s Inchworm-type Lunar Robotic Arm on a lunar rover that has a tool changer function. It can sample regolith using its backhoe tool. It can also sample stone using its gripper tool.
This is the SeaDrone Mini: a portable, app controlled personal underwater robot with a modular design that can be used to grab and manipulate objects. It has a max speed of 3 knots and depth rating of 300m. This robot weighs 33lbs. The SeaDrone Mini has a map based mission planning iOS app.
It is no secret that legged robots can adapt to complex terrains better than wheeled robots. Wheeled robots can move faster on flat surfaces though. The Unitree B-W combines the benefits of the two. It can not only walk but also slide, turn, and climb stairs. The below video shows what makes this robot special:
Meet T.R.E.A.T. by iRobot: an experimental prototype that explores the idea of using Roomba robots into kibble dispensers for dogs. It has advanced sensors and microprocessors for laser guided accurate performance.
Here is another remote controlled robot mower that saves you time and effort keeping your lawn in good shape. This SDR Slope Electric 25 inch Lawn Mower has a 4WD system that enables it to overcome rough terrain. It can handle inclines up to 38 degrees.
Here is a 3D hoping robot that can achieve dynamically stable motions with a “hybrid nonlinear model predictive control, paired with a low-level feedback controller in a multi-rate hierarchy. This video from Noel Csomay-Shanklin, Aaron D Ames, and Victor D Dorobantu shows this robot in action.
