The Robotic Arm Trainer teaches basic robotic sensing and locomotion principles in addition to building and testing motor skills through construction and use of the arm. You can control the arm with its five switch wired controller with corresponding lights to perform a selection of motions: grab, release, lift, lower, rotate wrist, and pivot sideways.

Once assembled, you can observe the dynamics of gear mechanisms through the transparent arm and see how the robot really works! Five motors and five joints lead to flexibility in robot use and a myriad of learning and observation opportunities. This kit is great for educators, home schoolers and beginning robotic enthusiasts – a great way to get started in the world of robotics!

You can command this unit with its five switch wired controller with lights to grab, release, lift, lower, rotate wrist, and pivot sideways 350 degrees.

After assembly, observe the dynamics of gear mechanisms through the transparent arm.

Five motors and five joints allow for flexibility and fun!

For educators and home schoolers, you'll find the robotics technology curriculum and personal computer interface useful tools (optional).
