Robots and computers are already replacing workers in factories and offices. Now engineers are developing intelligent machines to do farm work and help ease a worsening labor shortage on American farms.
This is the Inspection Robot with a 24 Inch Arm. The arm is used to raise the camera up for live video inspection in difficult to access places. The robot also has a ground probe which can flip over pieces of wood for termite inspection. The Inspection Robot with Arm is one of several custom robots designed and built by Chris Rogers of Inspectorbots.
Care-O-bot® is the product vision of a mobile service robot to assist humans in their daily life developed at Fraunhofer IPA. As an interactive butler, it is able to move reliably among humans, to detect and grasp typical household objects, and to safely exchange them with humans. At the same time it can be used to support communication with family members or a service centre, e.g. in case of an emergency. They also have the possibility to remote control the robot. This extends its abilities, e.g. when dealing with tasks that the robot isn’t able to solve autonomously.
Target of the WiMi-Care Project was the design of application scenarios for service robots to support the staff of residential care facilities.
Grizzly is easily customizable and offers users incredible strength, an unbeatable control system, and front axle articulation that keeps the vehicle grounded and stable on even the most challenging terrain. In combining power and precision, Grizzly defines a new category of robotics, the Robotic Utility Vehicle (RUV).
