Talkie Walkie

Lusorobotica.com and EmbeddedDreams.com made a challenge to build a robot only with one servo, and this was what I came up with.

I used the sound sensor I've done a few days ago and a little paper-boat + a servo and a box and this is the result :)

I was asked to document how I did the walkie talkie bot and here it is :)

This how the puppet works:

A hole was digger on a card box, and the micro servo is glued to the box as you can see.
One piece of paper is glued to the servo horn, and this will make the puppet talk movement.
Another piece of paper is glued to the box and it will be fixed and hold the puppet.

This is how the puppet is glued to the paper supports. ;)

that was so funny. it was so
that was so funny. it was so quiet and then this voice was hell loud!
maybe add eybrows.

LOL
brilliant! we should have a special section on LMR on paper bots.

Thanks!!I´m having a lot of

Thanks!!

I´m having a lot of fun working with paper :slight_smile:

check this out

yes! and a couple of LEDs
yes! and a couple of LEDs for the eyes :slight_smile:

HeheHeheheHee!

Great example project. When I first saw the photo, I thought it was gonna walk. Maybe make some sounds. This was a big surprise.

Still, do you tink it’s possible to build this “stand alone”? Without the support in the back to mount it on. Each half of the “beak” could be a leg.

OOH: it would be a dancing bot! Shuffling across the floor.

that would be very funny!!
that would be very funny!! must think about it… maybe find a way to mount all the circuit on a paperboard … hummm sounds a good ideia :smiley:

thats awesome!
Very funny… :slight_smile: Nice work!

Did you say PAPER board?

DuHUHUUDE!

Put you circuitry on the outside! Fold your circuitry into the little boat design. Make it wiggle to your voice commands.

Haha nice! didn’t expect
Haha nice! didn’t expect that it could work so accurate :slight_smile:

Hola!
Awesome guibot ! Looks kindof like a fortune cookie too … how many micros do you have? Can one talk in the others ear?

I´m using one micro, and I
I´m using one micro, and I have to be very close to it… I’m figuring out a way to have the micro more sensitive to sound, in a way that one can talk in a longer distance and still have good response.

Awesome…
Like everybody, i didn’t know what to expect with your picture, and it’s just freakin’ hilarious! XD Definitly five stars!

haha thanks :slight_smile:
haha thanks :slight_smile:

I love it
Brilliant. It proves the simplest ideas are always the best.

Thank you BOA! As soon as

Thank you BOA!

As soon as I have a little spare time I will post more details about the ‘mechanism’ I used :slight_smile:

agree!
agree!

haha
That was really funny =p nice work
