The GEARS-SMP Surface Mobility Platform is the newest engineering education product from GEARS Educational Systems.

This research robot was developed using mobile platform technology created by GEARS Educational Systems for a client authored NSF grant.

The GEARS-SMP Surface Mobility Platform is particulalry well suited to real world education and research projects that require:

  • Sensors
  • Remote Visualization
  • GPS/Navigation Strategies
  • Alternative Energy Systems
  • Autonomous Control
  • Extended Mission Capabilities
  • Increased Payload Capacity

    • The chassis of the GEARS-SMP surface Mobility Platform is scalable and easily customized so you can create mission specific configurations and accommodate various payload requirements.

    The body of the chassis remains extremely stable while roving over rough terrain. This makes the GEARS-SMP and ideal camera platform or reconnaissance vehicle.

    The GEARS-SMP can be broken down and field stripped in less than 3 minutes for easy transportation by car, boat or plane.

    The GEARS-IDS (TM) Invention and Design System

    The GEARS-IDS Invention and Design System gives teachers the Industrial Strength tools they need to create world class engineering and robotics challenges for their students in the comfort and convenience of their own classrooms.

    From Trebuchets to Autonomous Robots, The GEARS-IDS (TM) Invention and Design System lets your students participate in the science and history of technological achievement!

    Students and teachers who use the GEARS Invention and Design System share in the creative excitement of inventing their own engineering games and designing the modules, mechanisims and machines to play them.

    This is a great way to learn:

    • How to apply basic math and physics concepts to the solution of a challenging problem.

    • The process of engineering and designing modules, mechanisms and machines.

    • How to work as a member of an engineering team and participate in the engineering project lifecycle

    • How to use 3D solid models to communicate ideas and create and analyze design iterations

    • The fundamentals of mechanics, electronics and pneumatics

    • And much much more......
