If this has already been posted, my apologies since I could not find a reference to it.

So, what do you get when you take a skilled character designer from Pixar, a willingness to learn how to be Maker and a 3-D printer? You get the incredibly adorable robot Mira. The design uses a Raspberry Pi and a Teensy (Could be a Propeller??) along with some face tracking software to track the users face and reacts to certain actions such as playing Peekaboo. This is an awesome example of taking what has already been done and re-purposes it for use in a Bot.

Very impressive.

    Sounds great but I can't see anything but blank space on my Android tablet.

    I'm not sure what to say. I've added a YouTube link but it does not show up so I just added a standard link which should be there now.

    Great video! Thanks for posting the link. Avoid using the video button, that's never worked right. Just paste the Youtube link into your post and it shows up like magic:
