T-M105 Creeping Robot DIY Learning Kit

Overview

The T-M105 Creeping Robot DIY Learning Kit is a hands-on STEM project that lets learners assemble and test a small robot which moves forward using a lifelike creeping motion. The kit brings mechanical engineering and basic robotics concepts to life by combining gears, linkages, and a DC motor to convert rotary motion into crawling movement. This kit is ideal for classroom labs, robotics clubs, science fairs, and at-home learning.

Key Features

• Build your own creeping robot with a unique crawling gait
• Motorized operation using a DC motor for smooth, continuous motion
• Practical lessons in mechanical linkages, gear ratios, and motion conversion
• DIY assembly that develops manual dexterity, logical thinking, and problem solving
• Made from wood or ABS plastic components for a durable learning model
• Designed for intermediate skill level students and hobbyists

Movement and Mechanics

The robot’s movement is produced through a coordinated system of gears, levers, and linkages driven by the DC motor. As the motor turns, gear reductions and mechanical linkages create a crawling motion that mimics small animals or insects. Observing and adjusting these components helps learners understand how mechanical energy is transformed into coordinated movement.
