SPECIAL MENTION: Wheel Me’s Autonomous Wheel can turn just about anything into an autonomous robot. Equipped with sensors, AI, and processing power that allow them to move wherever they’re commanded, the wheels easily attach to hospital beds, pallets stacked with boxes, shelves, chairs, floating walls, shipping containers… almost anything. The Autonomous Wheel features obstacle detection and avoidance that allow the objects to safely navigate crowded environments of any kind. —Jared Lindzon
