DYI Cozmo robot, it's the "coolest robot ever invented" and now the cheapest! I saw the video for Anki's Cozmo robot and knew I had to make mine have a personality like that.

Components Required

  1. Arduino Robot (I suggest my Arduino Robot for under $5)
  2. OLED I2C Display (I found one for $3.10)
  3. LCD Mount (I just made a box out of cardboard)

This spunky little robot could cost you less than $9, if you pick the right robot.

I plan to make additional expressions and change them when sensors are activated. I’ve also uploaded some
