The body

I like cats... :)
I like fat cats...

This is the idea for the body

Do you like?
The head is very complex, with many movements and the body is simple, round and inspires tenderness.
Or not? :)

  Fantastic!!!

The eyes

For the eyes I like a duoble cross with four leds

With this configuration we can express many situation, like this:

Combined with the ears rotation about 180 degrees and the head's pan & tilt, I hope you like the set.

The beginning

I love robots and cats too.
The idea is simple:
to develop a funny robot with cat's personality.

I'm thinking about a simple robot with two wheels and an head with pan & tilt, two mobile ears and bright eyes led.

Something like this.

Or not...
