This publication, from the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP), is about the Shadow Air Muscle. This is a new kind of device for producing movement and is commercially available from the Shadow Robot Company. This book covers some activities that can be carried out using the 'muscle', to design devices such as:
- a gripping aid for people with weak hands
- a barrier that can be raised and lowered to allow access
- articulated puppets
- a robot arm
There are full notes on assembling the shadow air muscle sample pack and diagrams showing how demonstrations can be set up.
