Inventor James Bruton wanted to create something unique for a Secret Santa gift exchange, and this giant Furby robot was the result. Not just a static sculpture, it took lots of 3D printing and even the actual toy in the center to make this interactive robot a reality.
First, Bruton had to disassemble the actual toy to see how it worked. What he discovered was that it shared several electronic parts with other animatronic robots, but the eyeballs had to be sourced from a previous project. Servo motors are used to control the ears and beak, while an Arduino Mega board is connected to an DFPlayer mini MP3 player for the sound. Let’s just say that the final product could be both a Furby fan’s dream robot and possibly worst nightmare at the same time.
