Robot maker Jorvon Moss has created a really cute and cool “wearable robot friend” name Asi. The goal of the project was to create a 3D printed robot as simply as possible for those somewhat new to 3D printing a “larger” project and new to soldering and working with electronics.
Asi is a six-legged bot, but the legs are passive and are made to grip the bot onto the top of your head. One servo is used to move Asi’s head back and forth and the bot has LED eyes.
This would make a great addition to a Halloween costume. If you don’t have access to a 3D printer, you can even get the parts printed out through Digi-Key’s print service.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
