Three animal robots out of one construction kit

The following bionic robots can be built with this kit:

– Bionic Fish

– Bionic Chameleon

– Bionic Elephant

Modular construction system

All animal robots are driven by servo motors and controlled by an Arduino-compatible microcontroller. The movements are controlled via a Bluetooth connection to the smartphone or via a mobile device or PC. No programming knowledge is required.

With the help of the corresponding teaching materials, the learners are guided through the assembly steps. The contents are intended to help the learners with assembly and programming and provide the teachers with biological, methodological background material.

Robot flower inspired by water lilies and mimosa plants

The Bionic Flower is a construction kit inspired by the plant world. It opens and closes its petals in response to external influences such as approach or light. These mechanisms of action are simulated with sensors and actuators and can be learned in a playful way by students in class.

Festo Didactic took the mechanisms of action of water lilies and mimosa plants as a model for the development of the Bionic Flower.

Coding

The basic functions of the robot flower can be used without programming. Furthermore, the microcontroller can be programmed with the graphic coding interface “Open Roberta”.

Note: Available soon (expected to be available at the end of 2020)
