Kinematics modular robotic building blocks : Fascinating toys for kids to learn about robotics and renewable energy. Highly recommended by a friend, this looks real fun as well!
Article Extract: kinematics is a building block construction kit that allows children with no computer skills build interactive robots introducing them to mechanics, sensors and renewable energy. the modular kinetic parts and adaptor blocks were invented by leonhard oschütz at bauhaus university weimar developed through 3D printing technologies, which allowed them to easily draft up prototypes of the individual components. the construction system is composed from kinetic modules and adapter blocks which can easily be connected to one another freely without the use of cables. the major feature of the kit is that the components use an integrated servo motor that allows a variety of movements--three different modules for rotational, tilt and shift functions.
The highly creative modular robotic system, Kinematics, allows a wide range of applications. It is possible to construct models based on bionics as well as autonomously moving vehicles – anything is possible. Only a few examples are available now but in the next couple months many new models will be added. All modules can be connected to each other by a 360° rotating-plug-connector. This feature enables the user to both create stable constructions and also guarantees integrated data and power transmission. Stability and wireless connectivity ensures the foolproof joining and separation of, the modules and allows many types of design and movement configurations.

it may be for kids but I like it too I would play with it
