In this interactive workshop, students will explore the world of bio-robotics by examining the movements of elephants, insects, and cheetahs. Using pre-designed 3D-printed puzzle kits combined with LEGO components, participants will construct robotic systems that mimic the unique biomechanical motions of these animals—such as an elephant’s trunk-grabbing, an insect’s wing-flapping, or a cheetah’s swift limb motion.
Students will assemble these kits into functional bio-robots, integrating motors, sensors, and Arduino-based programming to bring their creations to life. This hands-on experience introduces essential engineering concepts while fostering creativity and problem-solving through guided experimentation.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have designed and programmed bio-robots that demonstrate nature-inspired motion, gaining foundational skills in robotics, biomimicry, and teamwork. This engaging experience highlights the innovative potential of combining biology and technology.
