Yoga Bot 9000, now in 3D

September 19, 2018

Continuing work on my original character for Art Toy Design, current named Yoga Bot 9000. Bringing him into 3D was a fun and interesting challenge--how does a robot with no elbow/knee joints do yoga?

I worked in CAD/3D printing and modeling clay this week, which worked out pretty well. Modeling clay is a nice addition to 3D printing for rapid prototyping.

 

Mocked up in CAD, testing various leg designs

Initial head print came out looking a bit too much like the reddit alien, Snoo

Rescaled to get a better head to body ratio and less reddit-ness

Coming together with modeling clay

Trying out various yoga poses, up first: down dog

Prayer hands
