スイッチサイエンスは5月25日、中國深センの産業用ロボットメーカーElephant Robotics（エレファント?ロボティクス）が開発した低価格なロボットアーム「myCobot」の発売を國內で初めて開始したと発表した。

The Chinese robot manufacturer "Elephant Robotics" is now offering the "myCobot" model at a bargain price of just €476. For this suspiciously low price, you get a visually appealing mini-robot.

There's a growing fear that artificial intelligence combined with?robotics?will displace the value of humans in many contexts. But could these trends also apply to our traditional four-legged canine and feline companions? After its splash at CES 2020, I had an opportunity to get up close this week with two prototypes of the MarsCat robot developed by Elephant Robotics.

Elephant Robotics' MyAGV autonomous ground vehicle is a robotics platform that can move with the help of advanced sensors and a Pi 4.

The company's myCobot series now features payloads from 250 g to 2 kg

Now coming in September: The MarsCat, coined an intelligent home robot by its makers, uses multiple sensors; voice commands; cameras, and AI to mimic the behavior and interactions of a real feline.
