Animatronic Avian 1: Planning and History. Since I was a kid, I was always into Disney Imagineering.
For many years, I always thought that designing and building attractions and such for them was something I would aspire to but never reach. I always held WED/WDI up on this pedestal, thinking that they were so far above me, and I'm sure that in some areas they are. Over time, I've come to realize that I can do that stuff too. I have always wanted to be an "Imagineer", and there's really nothing stopping me from becoming one... Perhaps I won't be working for Disney, but I can do the same stuff. These birds sing words. Disney introduced The Enchanted Tiki Room in 1963, and it's probably my favorite attraction at Disneyland and The Magic Kingdom. These flowers croon. The project covers a lot of subprojects. My goal is to make this as repeatable/reproducible as possible. Project 1: Vacuum Forming Rig Here's a link to a video of something similar to what I want to build.
Project 2: "Walter" Motion Capture Hardware. The Talking Raven. The Raven armature is made completely of aluminum with the exception of the legs.
Since the legs had to be relatively thin, and all the weight of the moving Raven was going to be held up by them, I ended up making the legs out of steel pipe. I cut the pipe into the upper and lower sections, machined the proper angle onto the ends, and then TIG welded them together. All the power and control signals pass through the pipe, with the power going up one leg, and the servo control signals up the other. The Raven has the following axes of motion: Head Up/Down Head Left/Right Head Rotate Beak Open/Close Body Up/Down.

I like things that move on their own.
An automaton is a self-operating machine, usually through mechanical means. Animatronics is a more specialized type of automaton; it is a form of mechanized puppet. Neither of these should be confused with a robot, which is an object which can sense and/or react to its environment. Here are some starter links if you are interested in making or learning more about animatronics and automaton. photograph by Compound Eye “How Animatronics Works“, by Jeff Tyson. Instructables has a number of guides on creating animatronics of varying complexity: Grim Reaper Animatronic is one of the simplest; it uses an oscillating fan for its movement. In a posting called, “Robots, Artificial Intelligence, Steam Power, and Sound Effects“, Michael Addicott describes a number of marvelous contraptions and mechanical devices in use since the Ancient Greeks.

This is a quick introduction to the parts and techniques we used. Electronics There's not much to it. The parts are: Servos wire directly to PWM pins on the mbed. Specific pin wiring is: X servo - pin 23 Y servo - pin 22 Eyelid servo - pin 21 Camera tx - pin 13 Camera rx - pin 14 Servos are powered directly from the battery. Software See the source for this Google Code project. To build it as an mbed project, you need to add the files in 'common' to a new project in the mbed compiler. The current mbed project should also be available from this Notebook page: To build the testframe for Visual Studio, you need to open UCamDemo/UCamDemo.sln.
To build the testframe for XCode, you need to open MacTest/MacTest.xcodeproj (but note that at the time of writing, that testframe didn't do much). There are three main behaviours: Mechanics There are only two moving parts - the eyeball and the eyelid. Here's the servo assembly for X and Y, on its support arm: Case.
