You can see the video of the eyes moving around in the video below. The bill of materials is pretty simple and features an Arduino, a driver […]

But at a library in Helsinki, one of the most surprising design features for a librarian’s assistant robot was googly eyes. A company called Futurice built a robot for the Oodi library and found […]
