Robotics Mechatronics
Modelling animal movement through robotics – October 2013

This kit includes CAD files to enable schools to produce their own components together with an explanatory PowerPoint presentation which includes diagrams and links to videos. The CAD files are templates which provide schools with a range of laser cut pieces that are easily assembled using readily available fixings and fastenings. It is intended as a prototyping tool that can be used to explore creative solutions in mechatronics and robotics project work.
