Meet GEKKO.
GEKKO is a desktop-sized articulated robot arm designed for education, to help students and educators learn and teach robotics in a safe, controlled environment of a classroom.
[Specifications]
Arduino-compatible:
Control GEKKO with Arduino Mega 2560.
Schools and universities need expensive educational tools and equipment to teach students practice-oriented engineering disciplines such as robotics. Common solutions such as industrial robots or cobots require dedicated spaces and inherently possess large risks and liabilities.
___
GEKKO is a robot that fits on your table and doesn’t have the same safety compliance and liability around students as industrial robots or cobots, while providing better educational context — GEKKO offers a unique learning opportunity to teach how robots are programmed and operated from the very ground level.
Stop teaching your students how to press a pendant’s button. Teach them how to engineer it.
When you have expensive industrial robots or cobots, if something breaks, the repairs are costly and delay classes, which results in paralyzed curriculum progress.
___
GEKKO offers an accessible and reliable educational tool that is easy to build and inexpensive to repair. Everything GEKKO is made of is replaceable and sourced from 3D-printing and off-the-shelf components.
GEKKO is trusted by educators:
“An incredibly versatile tool. It is so much better
to explain topics and do exercises with it.”

GEKKO can be tuned to any individual needs and prepared for any curriculum plans.
Any add-ons such as end-effectors or automation equipment can be tailored and customized.
It is an agile part of your classroom that can provide deep explanations of engineering topics such as electric motors, kinematics, microcontrollers, low-level programming, electronics, mechanics and more.
