Thames & Kosmos Bionic Robotic Arm Kit
Bionic Robotic Arm Overview:
The Thames and Kosmos Bionic Robotic Arm Kit brings the future of robotics to your hands. This cutting-edge kit allows you to build a segmented robotic arm, inspired by the intricate motion of cyborg creatures. Assembling the arm from nearly three hundred plastic pieces, you'll learn about the mechanical design that drives its unique, tendon-like movements. Once completed, the arm is controlled intuitively using two joysticks, which manipulate nylon cables to move the arm with precision and ease, all without the need for motors or electricity.
The robotic arm offers an incredible range of motion, with a 360-degree horizontal and 180-degree vertical working area. The claw, capable of 180-degree rotation, can be effortlessly maneuvered to grab, move, and release objects. The kit also includes an interchangeable eel head for added fun and challenge, allowing you to test your skills in picking up small objects. A full-color manual guides you through the assembly process and provides scientific insights into how similar robotic arms are used in real-world applications.
