Homemade Mechatronic Face

Have you ever wanted to build a mechatronic but didnt have the resources to do so? Fear no more! You dont really need fancy expensive tools to do so. In this project we will explain how we built a mechatronic face with very simple tools. To be fair it does pretty basic movements, it moves the eyes up and down and left to right and the jaw also moves up and down, however this project shows that you dont need much to do pretty cool stuff. When we were planning how to build this mechatronic, we made a model of the face in Autodesk Maya to give us an idea of how to piece it together and of how it would work. Later, while we were building it, we made some changes (mostly to how the jaw would be moved).”
