Paperino is an interactive robotic parrot inspired by an African grey parrot I lived with for two months in Italy. When visitors approach, it says “Ciao, bella!” and moves its beak, head, wings, and body; when they come too close, it reacts by moving away.
The project combines 3D printing, distance sensing, servo motors, and programmed behaviours to create a small robotic character with its own personality and boundaries. It is currently a work in progress, but I will finish soon!!!
