The robotic arm of the future is here! The Bionic Robotic Arm is driven by a tendon-based control system, offering incredible range of motion with a 360-degree, 23-inch horizontal working area and a 180-degree, 15-inch vertical working area. Built from almost 300 plastic parts, this arm features two interchangeable end effectors — a gripper claw and a fun eel head — and can be easily controlled with two joysticks and buttons that manipulate nylon cables for precise movement. No motors or electricity are required for operation, making this arm an exciting hands-on project for aspiring engineers. Assemble this cutting-edge robotic arm and learn about its intricate mechanical design, while exploring how tendon-driven robotic arms work in the real world.
Once assembled, use the right joystick to control the upper body and the left one for the lower body. A quick touch of the right button rotates the claw up to 180 degrees, and the left button opens and closes the claw. The versatility of the arm lets you grab, move, and release objects with incredible precision, making you feel like you're controlling a state-of-the-art robotic arm. And when you're ready for a new challenge, swap the claw for the eel head to try and pick up small shrimp models using the arm’s slithery new form!
A full-color manual guides you through the assembly process and provides educational insights about how robotic arms are used in real-world applications.
