Engineering can be used for many purposes, including artistic expression. The goal of this project was to create a cute ghost animatronic that could interact with an audience. The robot possessed a fully articulated pair of eyes, eyelids and eyebrows and a mouth that can spray water. An RFID reader detects the IDs of known RFID tags and triggers specific emotions and behaviors to activate. The animatronic was successfully able to receive commands and portray various emotions and actions through use of its articulated features during a live demonstration.
