How might we create a visually striking, interactive installation that showcases what a maker space is and represents the spirit of creative collaboration?
A life-sized origami robot, combining:
A mannequin skeleton for structure
3D-printed joints for robotic movement
Arduino-controlled motors for articulation
An origami exosuit, hand-crafted from paper
A final spray-painted finish to bring the character to life
The robot, nicknamed C-3PO, was designed to visually and functionally embody the collaboration between art and engineering.
