Hydraulic Robotics Arm

The Hydraulic Mini Crane is a working model that demonstrates the principles of hydraulic pressure and Pascal’s Law. It is designed to lift and move small objects using water pressure instead of electrical power or motors. The crane consists of syringes connected by plastic tubes filled with water. When pressure is applied by pushing or pulling one syringe, the water transmits the force through the tube to another syringe, causing the crane arm to move. This hydraulic mechanism enables the crane to lift, lower, and reposition lightweight objects smoothly and efficiently. Objectives To understand Pascal’s Law and the concept of hydraulic pressure. To learn how hydraulic systems are used to multiply force in real-life machines. To develop practical skills in designing and building simple mechanical systems.
