EYE MECHANISM V1
Project Type
Animatronics
Date
Fall 2020
This project was designed to be as simplified and compact as possible, requiring only one cord to drive four mechanisms while maintaining a footprint for each device of 30x 53 x 88mm. A two-DoF linkage made possible with SLS printing and embedded magnet pivots guides the main movement of the eye, allowing for smooth and realistic operation. OpenCV and python track head motion, isolate pupils relative to the frame, and convert to matching commands in near-time (approx. 30ms latency).
