    Strawbees Team

    Build a Friendbot shows you how expressive we can be through non-verbal communication. Humans express themselves through facial expressions, gestures using your hands and head, using body posture or dialogue, to create signals to another person. Using the motion of the servo motor and the different posture movements shown with geometric shapes built for the head and body, these robots can be portrayed as emotional information conveyed by posture and gestures to communicate with you.
