We love this super adorable build from maker Tony K.
Mr. Wallplate’s face is made from common items that would not normally be seen in a robot: a toggle/duplex wallplate for the face, ½ pingpong balls for the eyes, and a ponytail holder for the lips. The eyes seem to follow a person moving around the room, but it’s an optical illusion. Mr.Wallplate’s speaking is controlled by a TV remote control. The brain is an Arduino microcontroller with a sensor to catch signals from a TV remote and a servo motor to move the lips in sync with the spoken words.
