The luxurious and over-the-top mode of transportation we most often write about is most certainly the yacht, and perhaps occasionally the plane or helicopter, but never have we seen such extravagance in the form of an RV. We’d think that road travel would be too pedestrian for anyone who could actually afford a crazy RV like this, but sometimes the road is the only way and you might as well travel in style. The Elemment Palazzo Luxury RV by Vienna’s Marchi Mobile ($TBA, but we’re assuming it’s a rather large price tag) is a luxury home on the foundation of 28-inch wheels and a dual-sport exhaust system.

Its strange design is supposedly aerodynamic and that giant round clock-like feature is the vehicle’s windshield and driver area. Inside, the RV is decked out with ultra-expensive finishes and design touches, as well as a full sun room, a couch that magically transforms into a bar, climate controls, a 40-inch TV, a fireplace, and a central control panel. Did we mention it has a flybridge lounge that pops out of the roof and remote video access? Who wants to go on a roadtrip now?

Samsung's rolling home robot has been the industry's longest-running "will it ever actually ship" joke, and I'll admit I'd mostly given up on it. Now, there's finally a glimmer of hope.

Samsung first unveiled Ballie as a concept at CES 2020. Then, it showed it as a significantly upgraded version four years later. However, the company never confirmed a release date or committed to releasing it at all.

The US foreign-made robot crackdown is coming for future Roombas too
Future Roombas face new US sales hurdles, but existing models are unaffected

The FCC has already made it much harder for foreign drone makers such as DJI to bring new products into the US. Now, the same crackdown is reaching a machine far more likely to be moving around your living room.

The US government recently added foreign-made advanced robotic devices to the FCC’s Covered List. The announcement appeared focused on humanoids, robot dogs, and industrial machines, but an FCC spokesperson has confirmed to The Verge that robot vacuum cleaners are covered too.

The GOKO M6 Robotic Lawn Mower Brings Industrial Robotics to Modern Lawn Care
7 reasons this AI-driven powerhouse makes hands-free yard work smarter than ever
Grass, Lawn, Plant

Robotic lawn mowers can save homeowners hours of manual yard work, but not every model is designed for challenging properties. While many perform well on flat lawns, larger yards with uneven terrain, steep slopes, and multiple mowing zones require a mower built for more demanding conditions.

Developed by GOKO, the consumer robotics brand of Robot++, the GOKO M6 is an industrial-grade 4WD AI-powered robotic lawn mower that brings more than a decade of industrial robotics expertise to residential lawn care. It combines AI-powered four-wheel drive, advanced navigation technologies, and AI QuadVision obstacle detection to tackle complex landscapes with less manual intervention.
