Thames & Kosmos Mechanical Engineering: Robotic Arms STEM Experiment Kit | Build 6 Pneumatic Machines | Robotic Claw, Exoskeleton Arms & More | Explore Air Pressure & Robotics | Ages 7+

Description

Build six mechanical models of the types of arms, grabber claws, and legs
found on robotic machines. Explore mechanical engineering principles firsthand
as you assemble and play with these working models. The models use a pneumatic
system which uses air pressure to activate the models. Pump up the air
reservoir with the hand pump, then flick the switch to operate the model: A
pneumatic piston enables the grabber claws to open and close rapidly and to
grip objects with enough force to lift them. The piston can also move the arms
and legs on models back and forth, demonstrating how robotic limbs move.
Construct a pivoting robotic laboratory arm with gripper claw. Assemble an
extra long grabber claw to pick up things that are just out of reach. Build a
vertical three-fingered claw that can lift a cup up off the table keeping it
level. Experiment with models of robotic exoskeleton arms and legs. Make a
compact grabber claw that you can slip into your shirt sleeve to pretend you
have a robotic hand. Learn how pneumatic and hydraulic systems are used in
industrial robots to enable the robots to manipulate heavy objects, such as
automobile components. A 32-page, full-color manual guides you through model
building with step-by-step illustrated instructions.

Features:

• Learn how robotic machines perform work by building six different robotic arms.
• Special pneumatic system uses air pressure to power the models to move the robotic arm and a piston to open and close the gripper.
• Includes 36-page, illustrated experiment manual and assembly guide for detailed step-by-step instructions.
• Kids learn additional information about the models they're building and their uses in real life.
• Perfect gift to family and friends ages 8 above who loves robotics.
