European Robotic Arm
+
Europe, through ESA, is one of the five partners (NASA, Russian Federal Space Agency, ESA, JAXA, CSA) contributing to the development of the International Space Station. The European Robot Arm (ERA) is one such contribution.
ERA acts as a tool for: Installation, deployment and replacement of
elements of the Russian Segment of the International Space Station,
Inspection of the Russian Segment, Support/transfer of EVA cosmonauts, Transfer of Orbital Replacement Units and other
assembly tasks.

Large symmetrical robotic arm with 7 degrees of freedom
The arm consists of 2 End Effectors, 2 Wrists, 2 Limbs and 1 Elbow joint together with electronics and cameras. Both ends act as either a “hand” for the robot or the base from which it can operate.

We will build a robot arm from simple materials
The arm must pick up a plastic cup from a distance of 45cm Lift the cup to a height of at least 15cm Bring the cup back to rest and release it
Pick up cup upside down

Divide into teams of two (2)
Review the requirements
Discuss a solution and create a sketch of your design
Build a model of your design with given materials
Test your model
8
Outline and Procedures
+Robot Arm
Discuss and agree upon a redesign If needed after testing, or to enhance the
previous design
Answer reflection questions as a team

Redesign after testing
+Robot Arm
1. The arm must pick up a plastic cup from a distance of 45cm
Lift the cup to a height of at least 15cm
Bring the cup back to rest and release it
2. Lift and release the cup when it is upside down

Design requirements
+Robot Arm
What was one thing you liked about your design? What is its main weakness?
What is one thing you would change about your design based on your experience
Are there algebraic and physical principles that can be applied to this activity?
How would you modify the instructions to create a better experience for the participants?
