Animatronics head

This is a complete kit for making an animatronic creature head. The eyes move in 2 dimensions (side to side, and up and down) and the jaw opens and closes. The kit includes the laser cut parts, 3d printed parts, servos, NodeMCU, breakout board, and Wii controller, nuts and bolts and a battery pack.

I love animatronics!

I have always been interested in animatronics since I was a kid. This Halloween i decided to use my engineering degree, my new robotics software BowlerStudio, and my passion for making creatures, to make Open Animatronics. It is a framework for making parametric animatronic creatures of a whole bunch of varieties.

Parametric Design

The design of this animatronic head is not the only design availible. BowlerStudio provides users with the ability to run and modify the parametrics themselves. If you have a laser cutter, you can make a whole bunch of different heads and bolt the parts on to them.
