Some Plans for Facial Structure Design

Level - Basic

Mouth Movements    Internal Structure        External Frame

These plans are very basic and require only one electrical solenoid to activate mouth movement. Servos are not used in these plans, which are used to give more precise movement. E-mail the engineering department at engineering@craigsrobotics.com for information on servo plans.

I have used many types of framing methods from wooden dowels, to erector aluminum, to metal dowels. The fastest and easiest framing type seems to be styrophoam heads. You can easily cut and carve them, insert your mechanics, and cover with latex. Cheap and efficient , but gets the job done.
