Rabbit Robot

Description
_

SAM the rabbit is an animatronic crafted by hand and combined with physical computing. We use Arduino to program it, which spins its eyeball when it sees fire.

At first, me and Sylvia want to make something Cyberpunk with metals, but considering the access to weld metals, we finally decided to materialize the little robot as this reference photo.
We wrote the code first using 270 degrees stepper motor and frame transducer with the setting that when the frame is detected, the motor will be spinning, pulling the eyeball to rotate up and down.
Originally we think it might work to use 3D printing, but even a plane cannot be printed out using lab’s 3d printer 😞️.

So, finally we started our hand-made process. (it’s a pity I didn’t record our whole table, it’s a big mess💀️)
And, this is our little bunny robot (in a year of rabbit🚨️)!! His name is SAM and he had a severe social anxiety disorder. So everyone please be soft or he will easily get shocked and run away🤖️🤯️💥️
Here is the Scenario we made to show you his personality (pls take it with SAM the physical💊️)
