Animatronic robot face design and manufacture with humanoid gestures

In this study, it is aimed to obtain information about humanoid robots, of which importance is increasing day by day and new studies are being conducted on them, to design mechanisms that will simulate human facial expressions realistically, and to create a humanoid structure by bringing these designs together in realistic dimensions. Since there are very limited number of studies on similar subjects in Turkey, this project is a pioneer. The targeted scope is to create face expressions that are understandable by everyone by simulating emotional expressions close to reality. Another important consideration in the study is the cost. The cost has been reduced by using three-dimensional printers and plastic materials, which are a kind of additive manufacturing method, which has become more prevalent today. Since the aim of the project is to express emotional expressions with realistic gestures and facial expressions, a design-oriented study was carried out. For this reason, enough durable plastic materials and hobby servo motors are used to move the designed mechanisms.
