Bartender Robot

Tuan Huynh, Vincent Nieraad, and Ardian Nuredini from LMU Munich proposed the Bartender Robot project, featuring a built-in voice recognition system for easy drink orders. They designed the Bartender Robot with myCobot 280 M5, myCobot adaptive gripper, and essential ingredients. This innovative system streamlines the drink-making process, reducing wait times and increasing customer satisfaction in settings like bars and restaurants. The Bartender Robot showcases the potential to revolutionize the beverage service industry.

Visual Artist Robot

Mktechlab_net's visual artist project ingeniously used the myCobot 280 to craft a unique visual experience of glowing cocktail glasses atop personally crafted coasters. By integrating the weight sensor, myCobot 280 is able to project dynamic images based on specific drinks and the environment, creating visually engaging and aesthetically pleasing representations.

 

Garbage Collection Robot

K.Miyawaki, a robotics engineer and researcher from the Department of Information Science at Osaka Institute of Technology, innovatively developed the "Garbage Collection Robot" project. This innovative robot uses advanced SLAM navigation in an Automated Guided Vehicle for autonomous garbage location. The 6 DOF robotic arm, myCobot 280, efficiently collects and transports the garbage using the myCobot Suction Pump 2.0. This project redefines waste management solutions.

 

Automated Labeling Robot

The presence of robots is becoming increasingly prominent in commercials, exhibitions, tech expos, and more. One user showcased a remarkable application by programming our myCobot Pro 600 as an “Automoted Labeling Robot“, presenting the project at an international industry fair where myCobot Pro 600 demonstrated automated labeling capabilities.

Interactive Robot

Hanna Daxer, Laura Gräber, and Ludwig Felder from LMU Munich presented the Helping Hand project—an interactive kitchen assistant. This innovative robot simplifies manual tasks, allowing users to interact effortlessly through gestures and myCobot 280. Equipped with a camera, myCobot 280 detects objects and hands, facilitating tasks like stirring, pouring, and slicing.

 

Flower Arranger Robot

A Twitter user named OUGA shared an intriguing project—an enchanting digital flower arrangement robot. This innovative creation seamlessly blends 3D model content with real flower materials, providing a captivating display of real-time simulated flower arranging through collaboration with myCobot 280 M5.

 

Food Serving Robot

A user spearheaded an innovative "Food Serving Robot" project, harnessing the capabilities of myCobot Pro 320 Pi and myCobot Pro adaptive grippers for efficient and precise food handling.

 

Organizing Robot

Another user leverages YOLOv5 to command myCobot 280 and myCobot adaptive grippers for meticulous visual arrangement of toys.

Candle Lighting Robot

A Twitter user, Param Science Experience Centre, orchestrated a romantic "Candle Lighting Robot" project, programming the mechArm 270 to ignite the candle.
