In my ongoing quest for a robotic companion to reside on my desk, I have found few worthy contenders. While the ClicBot (reviewed in June 2022) and the Petoi Bittle (reviewed in November 2022) came close, neither of them quite fit the bill. Taking my search to the next level, I have been sharing my workspace with the Elephant Robotics myCobot 280. The myCobot 280 is a significant step up in both complexity and functionality from the bots I’ve tried before, which is clearly reflected in its price. The myCobot 280 kit that I reviewed costs $638, and additional accessories range from $100 to $1000. With that significant increase in price, though, comes a big jump in what’s possible with this amazing, albeit complex, robotic arm.

At the BEYOND Expo, vendors like Elephant Robotics are showing novel solutions to some of society’s most pressing issues – even ones we may overlook. Visitors wandering the expo hall inside the Venetian Macao may be startled to hear meowing. They may be even more nonplussed when they see a fluffy grey cat perched on a table, staring back with its bright blue eyes and wagging its bushy tail.

In recent years, interest in using robots in education has seen massive growth. Projects that involve robotics, artificial intelligence, speech recognition, and related technologies can help develop students’ analytical, creative, and practical skills. However, a major challenge has been the robots themselves: They are typically big, heavy, and costly. For robots to become widely used in education, they need to be smaller, easier to setup and use, and, more important, they need to be affordable to educators and students. That’s the goal Elephant Robotics aims to achieve with its line of lightweight, smart, and capable robots. The company has launched several desktop collaborative robots over the past few years, including the myCobot, mechArm, and myPalletizer. To help users achieve more applications in education, Elephant Robotics has also launched AI Robot Kit, a robotic kit that integrates multiple functions like vision, positioning grabbing, and automatic sorting modules. This year, the company is unveiling completely improved and upgraded products to make robotics even more accessible in education.

We extended the capabilities of ChatGPT to robotics, and controlled multiple platforms such as robot arms, drones, and home assistant robots intuitively with language. Have you ever wanted to tell a robot what to do using your own words, like you would to a human? Wouldn’t it be amazing to just tell your home assistant robot: “Please warm up my lunch“, and have it find the microwave by itself? Even though language is the most intuitive way for us to express our intentions, we still rely heavily on hand-written code to control robots. Our team has been exploring how we can change this reality and make natural human-robot interactions possible using OpenAI‘s new AI language model, ChatGPT.
