This project presents in detail an electrically operated mechanical robotic system based on an
animated character of Pixar’s WALL-E (2008). The replica’s boxy physical structure is built
using plywood mounted on top of track wheel which is a complex mechanical combination of
parts like teethed wheel, metallic frames and some soft PVC wood casted shapes driven by 2
independent single shaft geared DC motor. The movements of the arms and neck are attained
with the help of servo-motors. The main
focus of our work is developing a life-size meticulous Arduino-based entertainment robot
entirely from custom-fabricated parts with distinctive features which can be controlled
wirelessly, motivated from the animated character and as a constant reminder of how we should
deal with our technologies without hampering the regular order of our personal and sociocultural
life, we strived for building a life-size robotic structure of WALL-E to keep our
conscience ever functional.
