Build six amazing mechanical models of robotic arms, grabber claws, and legs. Dive deep into mechanical engineering principles as you assemble and have fun with these working models. The models are powered by a pneumatic system, which uses air pressure to bring them to life. Simply pump up the air reservoir with the hand - pump and flick the switch. A pneumatic piston allows the grabber claws to open and close quickly, gripping and lifting objects with ease. It also enables the arms and legs of the models to move back and forth, showing how robotic limbs operate. Construct a pivoting robotic laboratory arm with a gripper claw, an extra - long grabber claw for out - of - reach items, a vertical three - fingered claw that can lift a cup levelly off the table. Experiment with robotic exoskeleton arm and leg models. Even make a compact grabber claw to slip into your shirt sleeve and pretend to have a robotic hand. Learn how pneumatic and hydraulic systems are used in industrial robots to handle heavy objects like automobile components. A 36 - page, full - color manual with step - by - step illustrated instructions will guide you through the model - building process.

To use these robotic arms, first, follow the 36 - page full - color manual to assemble the models step by step. After assembly, use the hand pump to pump up the air reservoir. Then, flick the switch to activate the models. When using the grabber claws, place the object within their reach and watch them grip it. For the arms and legs, observe how they move back and forth. As for the three - fingered claw, position it carefully to lift the cup levelly. When experimenting with the exoskeleton models, take your time to understand how they work. Remember to handle the hand pump and the models gently to avoid damage. After use, store the models in a dry and safe place. If the air reservoir loses pressure over time, simply pump it up again. Don't submerge the models in water as it may damage the pneumatic system.
