Build Your Own Robotic Cat with An Open Source Kit by Petoi

[thekimspoblog]

The deeper I fall into the Child's Play fandom rabbit hole, the weirder it becomes how hard it is to get any information on how these complex face and hand animatronics are actually designed/built. Like these are pretty damn advanced robots; where are the blueprints???

So many simple questions you'd think you could easily find the answers to but I can't anywhere:

Are they using the same puppet for the television show that they did in the original 1988 film, or did they make a brand new one?

How many of these robots did they make? Are they all still the property of Don Mancini, or have some been auctioned off as memorabilia?

The closest I could find to getting any straight answers was this video, and this just raised more questions!

Moti Is A Smart Motor That Wants To Fire Up App-Controlled, DIY Robotics

Moti Is A Smart Motor That Wants To Fire Up App-Controlled, DIY Robotics

Here’s another project aiming to make DIY robotics as uncomplicated as child’s play. Moti is a smartphone-controlled smart engine, currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, that can be attached to everyday objects like cardboard boxes or more elaborate 3D printed creations to let kids (or gigantic kids) build robots that are controlled via a smartphone app. Think of it as a diy Sphero.

Stanford researchers adapt a DIY robotics kit to give STEM students tools to automate biology experiments

Now, Stanford bioengineers have shown how an off-the shelf kit can be modified to create robotic systems capable of transferring precise amounts of fluids between flasks, test tubes and experimental dishes.

By combining the Lego Mindstorms robotics kit with a cheap and easy-to-find plastic syringe, the researchers created a set of liquid-handling robots that approach the performance of the far more costly automation systems found at universities and biotech labs.
