Meet the Draganfly Commander 3 XL: a a hybrid drone that can accommodate a wide range of payloads. It has a liquid-cooled powertrain and can carry 4kg of load for up to 3 hours. This drone can operate in various environments and doesn’t require remote charging.
In the past few years, we have covered plenty of fascinating soft actuators. Hydrogel-based soft actuators can operate in sensitive environments but they have limits as far as water transport goes due to their poroelastic behavior. This video shows bioinspired soft actuators with based on thermoresponsive hydrogels with an integrated graphene network.

Here is a tiny robot that can change its shape to squeeze through narrow gaps. CLARI, also known as Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect, is inspired by bugs. It can transform its shape from square to long and slender when in tight spaces. It has a modular design and 4 legs. The below video shows it in action:
This is the Tail STAR: a double joint tail sprawling robot that can overcome a variety of obstacles. It can cross over gaps and climb over stairs. This robot was developed by Matan Coronel and David Zarrouk. Its tail enables the robot to move its center of mass forwards or backwards and extend its length to achieve more surface contact points.
Meet the LightStrike+ UV Robot: a smart robot that helps keep healthcare facilities free of germs. This FDA authorized device uses high intensity light for fast microbial reduction. It is smart enough to detect motion and stop. It has customizable room types and positions.
The LightStrike+ robot reduces pathogens on non-porous, high-touch surfaces.

This is the Ecoppia H4: an autonomous robotic cleaning solution for fixed tilt and single axis trackers. It moves horizontally but cleans vertically. The H4 is cloud based and can be remotely managed from anywhere. It features bidirectional cleaning. The below video shows what makes this solar cleaner special:
This is the next generation Hadrian X: a construction and bricklaying robot with a 32m telescoping boom that can handle blocks up to 60cm x 40cm x 30cm. It can work outdoors in uncontrolled environments. It can build structures from a 3D CAD model.
This robot can build the walls of a house in as little as a day. It has a special software that turns wall sketches into block positions.
