Doll

I created a robotic ventriloquist dummy for a performer friend. This involved dissecting an off-the-shelf doll toy.

Skull & Twerk – Mechanism Design

I created these projects to illustrate using stepper motors and mechanisms. One is a twerk bot based on Miley Cyrus’ performance at the 2013 VMAs. The other is a skull (it was Halloween at the time) with a fun background

Open Source Limb Control

We created an API for the body, allowing remote control over the internet (iPhone accelerometer in the video) or through local devices (flex sensor attached to skeleton in the video).

Light Strings

Midterm project for the Spatial Media class – an interactive installation for a fundraising event. RFIDs are attached to drinks. When a person moves their drink from one cocktail table to another, a “string” is projected between the two tables.
