r/Animatronics

We have friends that throw a huge Halloween party every year. They go all out with decorations, games and food. This year I made them a greeter for the front door. As you walk up this guy plays his routine for the guests. I hope people enjoy it. Excuse the messy background. I don’t have much room to build in the house.

The world's first all-metal FNAF suit has been created and presented by ShowTime Robotics! Thank you to all of those who have supported me throughout the most difficult creation of mine yet! Stay tuned on the official ShowTime Robotics Instagram page or YouTube channel! Although Instagram has more content. Thank you!

Just finished tuning the movement on this full-scale T-Rex animatronic. We spent extra time on the head articulation and the breathing mechanics to make it feel alive.

How do you guys think the skin texture and movement fluidity turned out? Would love to hear some feedback!

Some software I've been working on.

Made him in 2025 out of cardboard, fur, paint, and money, lots and lots of money,

he has 2 servos that are in his jaw and doors

So I managed to salvage some documents from an abandoned mall, and came upon this! McDonald’s Houston police department robot? What could this be

How does it look

Hi everyone,

The post from u/mxkara yesterday kicked my interest back into gear for a project that I've had sitting on the shelf gathering dust for several years now. Got Claude to rewrite my broken-ass code and managed to get it up and running within an evening.

So far I've got the Teddy Ruxpin encoding/decoding working, but I'm looking for Mother Goose and Mickey MP3 rips so that I can add those too. Would anyone have anything from those talkers?

The tool has several modes already.

Manual: let's you move the sliders around to control Teddy and Grubby.

Playback: Load a precorded Teddy track in to control Teddy. The sliders will automatically update their positions in accordance with the control track.

Random: Let's you load in prerecorded voice lines. The tool will then pick a sound at random and convert it to a PPM signal for Teddy's mouth based on the amplitude. He'll also blink randomly. You can set the min/max times for how often he talks and blinks. Will add support for Grubby too (not that I have one to test with).

I also want to do a scripted mode that lets you compose and export your own track to an MP3 file. Won't be anything fancy. You'll basically write a text document that references the sound files you want and when they should play. Will support a background track for music and atmosphere too.

The tool will be free and can be compiled for Windows, Mac and Linux. Could potentially do mobile too.

I am trying to build my daughter a dragon shoulder puppet that she sticks her hand and arm into to use as the head/neck. I got these dino masks on Amazon that already have a hinge mechanism but I am having a hard time getting the jaw to open and close reliably and want to build a mechanical system that my daughter could hold onto and pull back on to make it open and close (see pic). But it needs to be vertical so it can sit at the back of the head and she can hold onto it. Any help or tips would be grateful. Thanks!!

does anyone have any info on sega's pj pizzazz restaurant or thea ctual bot seen in the photo/?

Before Pidgey, Squirtle was my absolute favorite Pokemon, and it's still my favorite starter. I've avoided building this robot for almost four years because I wanted to get it right.
Perfection is the enemy of good, so I finally decided to make it happen. I still need to address the seam lines on the head from the casting, but I'm very happy with how he turned out.

All the info is in the video
