Meet the STEMbot: a stem climbing robot that can climb stems to monitor under canopies for pests. It has high friction compliant wheels to climb stems as thin as 7mm. It has 3D printed components for its structure. This robot uses 2 pairs of 700:1 sub-micro planetary gear motors. The wheels are cast from Ecoflex […] The post STEMbot: a Stem Climbing Robot for Pest Monitoring Plant Canopies…
Robots are going to do most of our farming in the future. Take Flexiv’s Adaptive Greenhouse Assistant for instance: it relies on advanced force control to load seedling trays autonomously. It doesn’t have to rely on vision. The robot responds to contact to adjust its motion. The below video shows it in action: Thanks to […] The post Flexiv’s Adaptive Greenhouse Assistant appeared first on Robotic…
Drones are going to do many things for us. They can be used to deliver things to remote areas and do search & rescue missions. In certain cases, they will have to land on challenging surfaces. Project DART enables drones to land in extreme conditions. It has retractable spines in its feet that enables it […] The post Project DART: Drone Lands On Icebergs Using Retractable Claws appeared first on…
Robots are being trained to a lot of tasks that are repetitive or dangerous for humans. We have already covered a bunch of quadruped robots that can take on these tasks. This video shows a Tron robot performing utility tunnel inspections autonomously. This robot supports authomous navigation and inspection. It can not only perform autonomous […] The post TRON 2 Robot Utility Tunnel Inspection…
The days of having to set up boundary wires or dealing with spotty signal under trees are over. The latest models come with full band RTK with AI vision to map your yard and cut without any interruption. The roborock RockMow X115H is a robotic mower with auto mapping and multi-sensor obstacle avoidance. It can […] The post roborock RockMow X115H Robot Lawn Mower with RTK + Quad Band Navigation…
This is the PUDU ET1: an AI powered scrubber & dryer robot that can cover areas from 100 to 800 square meters. It is a scrubber, sweeper, dust mop, and vacuum. It has 20 kpa suction power and has a scrubbing roller speed of up to 800 rpm. It supports 85C hot scrubbing to get […] The post PUDU ET1 AI Scrubber, Dryer Robot appeared first on Robotic Gizmos .
Robots are going to outperform us in many tasks in the future. They are already getting very good at running and jumping. Take Unitree’s Superman Robot for instance: it can achieve a standing jump of up to 2 meters with a top speed of 28.31 mph. For context, humans have a standing jump record of […] The post Unitree’s Superman Robot Beats Humans at Standing Jump, Running appeared first on Robotic…
Plenty of companies are working to make their robots and their models smarter and more efficient. We have already seen Figure’s humanoid robot sorting packages. X Square has shown how 6-axis robot arms with WALL-B AI foundation model sorted 1,816 mixed parcels at 98%+ accuracy (in comparison to Figure’s robot that averaged 1248 parcels per […] The post X Square’s 6-axis Robot Arms Handles 1816…
Meet the FX Aegis Pro: an AI programmable robot dog with max speed of 3.7m/s. It can climb stairs up to 16 cm and obstacle clearance of up to 35cm. This robot can carry up to 8kg of load. The FX Aegis Pro lasts up to 2 hours on a 216Wh battery. It has over […] The post FX Aegis Pro Programmable Robot Dog appeared first on Robotic Gizmos .
Smartphones are already getting amazing cameras that let you record high resolution videos and capture amazing photos. The HONOR Robot Phone takes it to the next level with a robotic camera module that can follow and keep you in the frame. It has a 4DOF gimbal system for smooth video. This robot can even sense […] The post HONOR Robot Phone: Smartphone with 4DOF Robotic Camera Module appeared…
