Braccio++ is here to give you a helping hand arm
A step-up from our previous Tinkerkit Braccio robot, the Braccio ++ is an all-new, revolutionary robotic arm designed specifically for advanced high-school and university students. It includes a new Arduino carrier specifically for this kit, as well as a new learning platform to guide students step-by-step
Facilitating the fun and engaging learning of motions, forces, torque, gear ratio, stability, and weight of payload, the arm offers an insight into real-world manufacturing techniques.
A replica of an industrial, assembly line robot, the Braccio ++ can lift, place, rotate, and track with an impressive five degrees of freedom - the options really are endless.
Everything is possible
Whether students want to build their own table tennis opponent or create a solar panel mount that tracks the movement of the sun, Braccio ++ can make anything possible.
To make things easy, the kit comes with a completely new and fully optimized carrier that’s RS485 serial communication compatible, a color LCD screen, and a joystick.
At the heart of this latest development from Arduino Education are the new, ultra-intelligent smart servo motors that allow programming and communication to be undertaken with total ease.
Aimed at STEAM students of high school and college age, Braccio ++ covers important elements such motions and forces, construction, kinematics, manipulator control, and the geometry and mathematical representation of rigid body motion.
Online learning & extensive hardware
Boasting a conveniently portable mount, this revolutionary robotic arm is an impressive piece of kit , but the open-source hardware isn’t the only thing we’re excited about.
Braccio ++ comes with access to an entire e-learning platform. Here, students can benefit from step-by-step instructions, lessons and other learning materials that will enhance their experience.
Fully student-optimized, the platform is an ideal online gateway to important areas of the curriculum, including kinematics and computer-integrated manufacturing. Thanks to all this, students will be able to overcome real-world inspired challenges and gather a wealth of knowledge, which in turn prepares them for a successful future.
Tapping into key learning outcomes for both high school and college students, this kit can be used by up to three students, making it a great choice for group work and shared activities. It can also be used to enhance other projects thanks to its endless capabilities and extensive hardware.
