In a laboratory building at Fudan University’s Handan Campus, a lecture on Introduction to Robotics has just concluded. Instead of leaving immediately, students gather around an experimental workstation, excitedly discussing the grasping algorithm they just ran on a sleek collaborative robot arm. Thanks to a delivery from Elephant Robotics, the 6-DOF robotic arm myCobot 320 has become a regular fixture in the Fudan University Laboratory.

Robots don’t have to be big, bulky, and imposing. Elephant Robotics’ myBuddy is a far more friendly looking machine, with appealing movements reminiscent of a posable doll or a 1980s Rubik’s Snake puzzle. The pipe-like limbs on this two-armed robot can be endlessly rotated, and there are 13 degrees of movement overall. Equipped with a touchscreen display and a camera, myBuddy 280 is the company’s first Raspberry Pi–based dual-arm robot. It’s also the best-value model of its type, making it ideal for educational settings.

Robots are already getting pretty good at cooking things. This videos the Mercury X1 robot using dexterous arms to prepare food for lantern festival. The robot simply pours liquids and rice balls onto the pan to start the process. The X1 has a 19 degrees of freedom. It is powered by the Jetson Orin Nano SUPER 8GB as main controller. This robot uses a LiDAR, ultrasonic sensors and 2D vision for perception. It is compatible with various simulation software, including ROS, Moveit, Gazebo and Mujoco. You can program this robot with Python and C++.

Meet the Mercury B1: a dual arm humanoid robot with 7-axis arms with a total of 17 degrees of freedom that can operate one or both of its arms to get tasks done. It has a head with a 9-inch touchscreen display. It comes with a exoskeleton controller that makes it easier to manipulate things. This robot is ready for Python and C++.

In recent months, companion robots have stopped being trade-show prototypes and have become objects that truly enter our homes. They speak, observe, react, and build a continuous presence within domestic space. They are defined as “companion” robots because they do not perform specific tasks—like making your bed or sweeping the floor—but instead participate in everyday life with a form of programmed attention that resembles, in an unsettlingly familiar way, human attention. Alongside these examples, robot animals are emerging, such as the companion platforms developed by Elephant Robotics: metaCat, metaDog, metaPanda. These artificial creatures respond to touch, voice, and gestures. They reproduce affectionate behaviors with surprising precision, as if empathy could be translated into code and actuators.

CES, the world’s premier technology event held annually in Las Vegas, kicked off last week, bringing together the latest innovations in consumer electronics, robotics, and intelligent technologies for 2026. Recognized as one of the most influential platforms for technology debuts and industry exchange, CES once again highlighted the accelerating convergence of AI, robotics, and everyday life. This year, Elephant Robotics made a strong return to the show, presenting its latest breakthroughs in Embodied AI, educational robotics solutions, and next-generation robotic innovations that captured widespread attention. Since its founding in 2016, Elephant Robotics has remained committed to developing lightweight, open-source robotic products for both educational and professional applications, with the mission of integrating robotics into daily life and providing more people with opportunities to experience the practical value and transformative potential of intelligent robotic products.

You’ll recognize Elephant Robotics from robots like MetaCat and MetaDog which I’ve done full reviews on in the past on Eric’s Tech World. E.R. has now made MetaCat fluffier though. I reviewed their stuff before and still think they’re doing cool work in at-home robotics. I’ll also be excited to try out their robotic arms in the future!

Il CES 2026 di Las Vegas si conferma l’epicentro della convergenza tra intelligenza artificiale e vita quotidiana. Tra i protagonisti della rassegna spicca Elephant Robotics, l’azienda high-tech fondata nel 2016, che ha presentato una nuova generazione di soluzioni robotiche leggere e open-source. Il focus del gruppo, che ha attirato oltre 10.000 visitatori presso il proprio stand, punta deciso sulla Embodied AI (intelligenza artificiale incarnata), con l’obiettivo di trasformare macchine rigide in sistemi capaci di interagire in tempo reale con l’ambiente domestico e professionale.
