Mechanical Engineering: Robotic Arms

Build six mechanical arms, grabber claws, and legs

  • 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.
  • 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.

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.

Learn how pneumatic and hydraulic systems are used in industrial robots to enable the robots to manipulate heavy objects, such as automobile components.

A 36-page, full-color manual guides you through model building with step-by-step illustrated instructions.

What Educators are Saying About Geyer

Justin has been nothing but helpful and professional in my requests for these Boeing Defense requirements. He has been able to answer my questions and concerns quickly, and helped in securing the order that I may have made with another supplier had be not been the value-add that he is to your company. I hope his merit raise this FY was "exceeds expectations".

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
