Arduino brain in a 3d printed Skeleton

Hugi, The Robotic Raven is an electromechanical automaton. Unlike my previous robots She has two braincells, an Arduino Mega that handles all the sensor inputs and movements and an Arduino Uno running an Adafruit sound board for her lovely singing voice. Nine servos, voltage regulators LEDs and several switches together with a 3D printed skeleton and I found a way of making artificial feathers to complete my little friend. She can’t fly and to be fair She probably weighs more than three real ravens put together.
The Name; Odin, Old Grim, the One eyed King of the Norse Gods has two Ravens, Hugin and Munin. Who leave Asgard every dawn to fly through the Nine worlds and return at dusk to keep him informed. “this is why his cunning is sharp” as the Vikings soothsayers said. Hugin means Thought and Munin memory, so my tribute to this wonderful species of bird is Thoughts daughter.
I used PLA for the printing. Amazingly strong for its weight and easy to use. To make the feathers, black nylon lining material made a lot more quill like with an application of  acrylic varnish then cut to size. The skin is lycra with the feathers fixed on, when She has a moult I’ll fix some more on.

Somehow the movement is very robot like.  And she talks.

Here is a little video

3d printed and with an Arduino brain.
