Hunter's comment
I'm fascinated by the range of robots that are currently available for educational and STEM learning. And this Centipede Robot is no exception.
It was developed from the work done on the i-Centipod at Osaka University's Graduate School of Engineering. link
And has been made into an easy to assemble kit by the popular model making company TAMIYA.
It has autonomous control and due to the design of the legs mimicking a real centipede it can travel over a variety of surfaces.
See this video for more information
The model use a central gearbox with internal motor, and the body segments are connected by universal joints.
Steering is influenced by changing the position of the steering bar on the head.
And yes you can buy it.
PROS:
- STEM Related
- Unique Design
- All Terrain Robot
CONS:
- Limited Use
- Heavy Drain on Battery
