A Nampa, Idaho-based startup called Slant Concepts is looking to connect robotics directly with STEM education with the LittleArm, a robotic arm kit created to help both students and hobbyists learn about programming and robotics. Slant Concepts’ founder, Gabe Bentz, decided to turn to 3D printing technology to help prototype his own robot kit, which led to the creation of the LittleArm. In fact, Slant Concepts has an entire wall of 3D printers working 24/7 to create the parts for robotic arm kit. The LittleArm robotic arm is actuated with four servos and is controlled by an Arduino Uno. To use and train the robot arm, users must simply download the desktop application, which enables them to program the motions that they’d like the robot to perform, hit go, and then watch the LittleArm recite the preset sequence.
