This is an animatronic robot platform for human-robot interaction research purposes. Funded by The Mechatronic Man foundation.

Animatronic Robot

Thanks to the good job of Daniel, the robot’s head is finally moving, and making recognizable expressions despite the lack of “mouth”.

He also made a survey at the School of Engineering of the Universidad de Málaga, in order to measure the accuracy of the set of facial expressions.

The rest of the animatronic platform was started years ago and documented in the amateur spanish blog: http://hombremecatronico.es/2010/05/electronica-de-control-de-la-cabeza/

Some other student project are to be developed on this platform. Interested students, please contact me.

Thanks again, Daniel.
