How
How
Creating an advanced figure with simulated controls to enable lifelike motion and real-time guest interaction.
The parrot will be able to rotate its head, speak by lowering it's beak, rotate it's body, and flap it's wings.
These motions will be done through servo motors controlled by an Arduino.
Engineering with high-quality motors for reliability in an event twice as long as last year.
Wiring and Simulation
Wiring and Simulation
Wired Pudge through an Arduino
Utlizied Blender plugin "MarIOnette" to link servo motors to a real time simulation of the parrot animatronic.
Simulation allows for real time servo testing and animation along with audio playback.
