Abstract

A fun and affordable animated toy robot operates with varying degrees of autonomy and anthropomorphism. The robot may include a customized chipboard controller or computer, a power source, and may be constructed with specialized connectors, magnets, servo motors, generally less-sturdy (or pliable) thin materials, such as chipboard, card stock, cardboard, or the like, used for the body and limbs of the robot, and LEDs. The specialized connectors may be used to attach the servos to these materials. An application and the controller may be used to control the motion of the robot. Young children may be able to make the attachments to build the robot with little or without the help of adults or older children. Building and operating the robot may be fun activities for children and families, and may provide enjoyable learning activities about robotics.
