The past weeks have been dedicated to the Head design which is coming along nicely 🙂 The head is slightly smaller than the actual version but contains more devices:
- Gesture sensor on top
- 2x OLED displays for the eyes
- 5Mpx Micro Camera
- 2x Servos for Ears
- 1x Servo for Head pitch
The head is divided in 2 parts in order to allow me to assemble the devices inside. Both part are screwed together and for the first time I will be using threaded inserts in order to have proper mounting 😉
The ears design will be done later, I want to have the complete robot designed to see how they fit with the rest of the body.
I already order some samples of the head to see the print quality and tolerances, I’m glad I did it because I already found several errors I have to correct for the final version. I could also do a test fit for the parts and it looks pretty fine as you can see:
The color is not the definitive one and I’m not sure about the Display color… but it gives a pretty good idea of the future look 😉
