Build
your very own android head for just $600!
From the designer’s introduction:
"It is possible to build a computer-driven, life-size, android robot head
(Figure 1) for cost of materials of about $600.00. The android head will have
two color video-camera eyes with the video going both into a window on the PC
and into an image processing Java application. The robot will have six servo
motors controlling: (1) base of the head spins, (2,3) each eye moves left/right,
(4) both eyes move up/down, (5,6) each eye-lid opens/closes. All servo motors
are controlled via a Java application. The user supplies the computer (PC). The
details of how to construct such a head follows, based on the authors creation
of Robot Maxamilian, R. Max for short." [link]
