VORTEX: Robot for Kids

This is a creative toy with real STEM (Science, Technology, Math & Engineering) potential that could inspire your kids to learn how to design, code, and invent. 

DFRobot, a company that has been building robots for the education market since 2008, this week introduced its first attempt at making a robot accessible to all children, with the debut of Vortex – an interactive, programmable robot aimed at kids 6 and up.

Robotic Iron that can remove wrinkles from your clothes

Scientists at Columbia University have developed a robot that can flawlessly iron clothes. Such was the achievement that the researchers came up with the name 'dynamic ironing' for when the robot was moving.  The robot uses sensors and a 'wrinkle analysis algorithm' to ensure shirts, trousers and other items come out looking as if they were ironed by a human.
