Project Summary

Robotics has a lacking presence in today's educational system.

Robotics is an incredibly fast growing field, yet numerous potential innovators for the discipline are never exposed to it. There are many industrial style manipulators available for commercial applications, but their cost is so high that they aren’t practical for many educational purposes. Schools in rural areas are extremely financially limited and cannot afford a manipulator, nor an instructor that can handle teaching the course due to complexity.

Hence, we propose MEIOSIS robotics! The Manipulator for Educational Institutions with Open Source Integrated Systems.

The goal of the project is to produce an extremely create an extremely inexpensive, rudimentary but capable manipulator that can be purchased as a kit non-profit for educators.
