A new face
09/03/2017 at 16:58 • 0 commentsA friendly beezel cover. There could man many varioations either sculpted and casted or 3d printed. I have been in favor of traditional sculpting when possible. I would love to make a silicone cast to add to the softness of the entire robot. The freckles are a result of torching the polymer after baking.

Prototyping the head tilt mechanism
08/31/2017 at 05:33 • 0 commentsThis prototype rig was accomplished using recycled parts and a few parts from the local hardware store. The setup is equivalent to a 3 point head tilt axis. It was hard to find a system at this scale without blowing budget on custom rigs. I wanted something simple and lightweight that I could make quick modifications to to get the actions just right. I am building this head tilt system onto the established internal structure. The head tilt will be for very simple movement such as soft breathing or curious head tilts.
I am using 2 5kg servos for roll and a 20kg servos for pitch. The Arduino code currently is a simple modified servo motion loop with no interaction/sensor input as of yet.
The head tilt mechanism uses standard 20kg and standard 5kg servos.
