James Bruton | Tickle-Me Elmo Robot Conversion #2 : Upper Body @jamesbruton | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 26 minutes ago
Inspired by the 2001 movie, AI Artificial Intelligence, I'm converting Tickle-Me Elmo into a robot version! The base controls his legs as he walks along, and this time I'm working on the upper body animatronics. I'm using nine servos in total driven by the Arduino servo library, and controlled buy an Arduino MEGA. The remote is taken from the openDog project and uses the NRF24L01 transceiver for communication. I have various modes for puppeteering so I have enough controls for all the joints.

XROBOTS
Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.
XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.
