It all began with the manufacturer boldly entering the race to produce a fully humanoid robot with a high degree of freedom of movement.

The robot was first showcased at the WRC 2023 exhibition, impressing attendees by preparing coffee and interacting with them.

The company claims that this activity was chosen merely to demonstrate that their robot can perform real tasks.

The robot's dimensions match those of a human with a height of 178 centimeters and a weight of only 56 kilograms, quite light for a humanoid robot.

Its drives provide 44 degrees of freedom controlled by an advanced motion control algorithm using numerous sensors.

Greater mobility increases the need for intellectual computations, an area where the manufacturer has excelled by testing the best algorithms on the world's best robot vacuums.

Considerable attention was given to the robotic pet as the company positions its product.

Hence the set of functions that are completely unusual for robodogs from other manufacturers.

Dreamdog can bark, give a paw, amusingly stomp and spin in place, and even play music.

However, the robot responds not only to petting, but also accurately recognizes and executes voice commands, reacting to human movements.

The new products have a drawback, their cost.

The humanoid robot has not yet entered the market and is only being demonstrated to the public, while the robodog is already available for purchase at a price of $7,000.

Despite some cool features not found in competitor's dogs, the difference with Xiaomi's cyberdog, priced at just $1,800, is significant.

Before you is the latest humanoid bipedal robot the XR4, also known as the Seven Fairies, developed by the company Data Robotics.

With a height of 168 cm and weighing 65 kg, the XR4 is crafted from lightweight, high-strength carbon fiber composite material, featuring over 60 intelligent flexible joints.

The XR4 seamlessly integrates with the Data Cloud brain in real time, empowered by the multimodal large-model robot GPT, enabling multimodal fusion for perception, cognition, decision-making, and behavior generation.

Through deep reinforcement learning within its digital twin, the XR4 autonomously undergoes intelligent training, achieving a stable standing posture, nimble dual arm and hand manipulations, and even the ability to dance.

In the future, it aspires to be a human companion, realizing the dream of a robot nanny.

This monstrous mechanical snake, named Titanoboa, weighs more than a ton, and its creators plan to eventually cover it with a dense layer of skin, allowing it to move underwater.

Here's what the creators of this 35-foot snake robot wrote.

The Titanoboa project is the realization of alternative forms of engines and energy solutions in the field of mechanics.

The goal is to demonstrate the use of mesmerizing snake-like movements in this experiment.

The enormous snake appears to be a mechanical beast that moves at its discretion, and may soon be able to swim underwater.

However, for the snake to move properly in space, someone from the participants must monitor it, as it cannot be controlled with just one remote control.

A whole control complex is required to coordinate the movements of hundreds of moving parts, a task that only a skilled operator can handle.

Looking at this robot, it creates the feeling that it's scenes from a science fiction movie.

The name Titanoboa for the mechanical snake robot was not given randomly, but in honor of the largest snake, the remains of which were discovered by archaeologists.

The length of this snake robot is about 11 meters, but it may be extended to 16 meters.

This is Carobot 4, a robot that is impossible not to fall in love with.

Mobile manipulators are robots everyone wants because they have the greatest potential to do what matters to us, and they do it better, faster, and easier.

Before machines achieve perfection as consumers desire, it will take some time, but with each new update, we are getting one step closer.

Today this next step is taken by the Carobot 4 robot from the Fraunhofer IPA company.

This robot is a successful symbiosis of design and engineering thinking, functionality, and emotions.

Its sleek design with two arms on the sides and a head hints at a human form.

However, the developers didn't want it to resemble a human too much, as it would lead to unjustified expectations of its capabilities.

Its internal values remain human, it always maintains a respectful distance, shows that it understands and intends to do something, and can express simple gestures and emotions.

Carobot doesn't have a specific function, it can find many applications, being your personal home assistant or used as a service robot in restaurants, hotels, conference halls, or even medical facilities.

Those who acquire the robot can choose not only the software, but also to some extent, the hardware.

The global advertising market is also impressive in terms of technology and the amount of money invested.

In 2023, its total volume reached approximately 842 billion dollars.

So, the Polish company ScreenLED, specializing in LED screens, came up with an unusual way to earn extra income.

They introduced the LED box, a block designed for displaying advertising videos.

Clients are offered either a car with the box LED already installed, or just the block separately.

Advertising videos are displayed on it from a PC or laptop.

The screen brightness is adjusted automatically, and there's no need to worry about the weather, as the screens can withstand rain and wind at speeds up to 20 meters per second.

Robots capable of cleaning staircases are gaining increasing interest, and they are being prepared for release in commercial robotic environments.

According to rough estimates, from 2015 to 2018, robots for cleaning were sold worldwide for 25.2 million dollars.

However, there's a problem.

Most of them don't get along well with stairs.

Tired of tolerating this, Singapore developed S-Tetro, a robot that confidently moves up and down stairs.

The robot consists of three blocks, concealing six motors, and has a clear view of its working environment thanks to a combination of cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and LiDAR.

The robot performed quite well in tests, but it is unclear whether it will go into production.

Additionally, the developed system was tested for the accuracy of detecting descending stairs, ascending stairs, and maximizing the coverage area through experimental trials in two real-life scenarios.

Hyundai demonstrated its innovative wheel rotation system in action.

Typically, the wheels of modern cars turn at 30 to 40 degrees, but Hyundai Mobis, a subsidiary of the Hyundai Motor Group, has been working on a system for several years that increases wheel mobility to 90 to 100 degrees.

At the CES 2024 exhibition, the company showed the results of its efforts.

The prototype electric vehicle Mobion glided, swayed, and almost danced on the stage.

The development of a system similar to the crab mode by Hyundai Mobis became known in 2021 when the company unveiled a concept car capable of making a 180-degree turn in place.

Soon after, it was revealed that the e-corner technology would be integrated into the serial production of all new Hyundai electric cars starting from 2025.

The Mobis e-corner technology is a module assembled from braking and steering control systems, suspension, and an electric motor.

Modules are installed on each wheel, and all of them are activated by a unified control system.

Now the wheels can be turned in unison or in different directions, depending on the desired direction of movement.

For example, to smoothly maneuver into a tight space between two cars or perform a complete turn at speed.

In Britain, a robot has been developed for inspecting and repairing offshore wind turbines.

A team of enthusiasts has already tested their creation.

It has six limbs that assist it in climbing the blades while carrying a set of tools.

The device has an appearance reminiscent of a beetle, with a significant part of its components created using a 3D printer.

The advantage of such a robot is that hazardous tasks can now be performed without a crew needing to ascend to great heights using ropes.

The robot's body is waterproof, considering the harsh weather conditions and gusty winds often encountered at sea.

This assistant can significantly reduce risks for technicians and expedite the diagnostic and repair processes for wind turbines.
