Bionics Kit
Bionics means learning from nature. The Bionics Kit teaches the principles of bionics, combines analog with digital learning and promotes creativity and teamwork. The Bionics Kit is a kit that allows students to build and control three bionic-inspired animal robots (Bionic Fish, Bionic Chameleon, and Bionic Elephant). All animal robots are actuated by servo motors and controlled by an Arduino-compatible microcontroller. The movements are controlled either via a cell phone with a WLAN connection or via a mobile terminal or PC. It is the task of the students to combine the given components with self-selected materials and objects in a sensible and creative way.
