Here is a soft robot that uses explosive actuation to jump. Researchers from Cornell created a soft internal-combustion engine that uses methane vapor and oxygen. The top of the chamber balloons upward to generate forces up to 9.5 newtons. The actuators weigh only 325g. The below video shows this robot in action:
Robots are going to do many things for us in the future, including cooking our food. We have already covered plenty of robots that can cook a complete meal. YORI is an expandable design, so it can cook any type of dish. It can cook fried chicken, pasta, a lot more. It has a versatile tool changing system.
This robot has a dual-arm manipulator to take on various tasks such as kneading dough and tenderizing meat.

Here is one of the smartest mini drones money can buy. The DJI Mini 4 Pro comes with omnidirectional obstacle avoidance. It has 4K100 video and 48MP photo capture capability. It weighs only 8.8oz. It has a flight time of up to 34 minutes. This drone has a rotating gimbal for vertical shooting.
Here is another autonomous delivery robot that can help businesses become more operationally efficient. The C2 can be deployed in under an hour. It has touchscreen controls, so you can easily create and update pre-programmed destinations.
Robots are going to change the way we live and work. Plenty of companies are working to perfect home robots. A latest update by Tesla now shows what Optimus is capable of. It is now capable of self-calibrating its arms and legs. Using vision and joint position encoders, this robot can locate its limbs in space.
Meet the Pudu CC1: a cleaning robot that can connect to internet of things devices, including elevators and communication systems. It can clean up to 12000 sq.mt every single day. It is designed to reduce fresh water usage by 85%. This robot relies on PUDU SLAM positioning system for more efficient operation.
It is no secret that AI already is capable of beating humans in many areas. Researchers have now built autonomous AI drones that can beat human racers. These AI powered vision based drones use Swift, which is a 3D map of the course. These drones can fly through each gate quickly. The below video shows these drones in action:
