Hey Moogle - an animatronic moose assistant

easyejl

My wife and I went to see Evil Dead - The Musical, and I was entranced by the moose puppet on the wall. I thought "Heck, it would be easy enough to make an animatronics moose to have at home", so I set out on this project.

 

 

Basic plan steps are

  • Acquire moose head puppet
  • Acquire robotic arm + servos
  • Begin programming pi - Basically can use most of the Google AYO voice pieces, need to add some references to pulse audio to capture the sound as he's speaking, to use to move the mouth
  • Assemble pieces
  • Laugh a lot

 

Steps completed

Google AYO kit reformatted back to original and programming has begun!

Parents

  • Made some modifications to the claw, and have it able to work a puppet mouth now. It's only slow because the pi is underpowered right now, I ran out of outlets. So its being powered by the USB port on an older Surface Pro. Not exactly high output.
