I thought this would be a cool effect to try and emulate through the emotive object. One of the characters in this show has a power in which he can summon animal spirits to fight in battle by making a corresponding hand puppet. My plan was to create this effect by making a robot which could “summon” a different animal when an “enemy” got too close.

This way I could replicate some of that feeling I had from watching the show. I decided to use the ultrasonic sensor to detect enemies approaching, and use a servo to swap out the hand signals and the animals. I tho

I planned to make a ceramic pot decorated to look like a shell, with tentacles reaching in and out of the mouth. I also wanted to experiment with different materials. I thought it would be cool to have the shell overflowing with tentacles of different materials, some of fabric, some of rubber, some of foam, some of plastic. Finally, I wanted to experiment with creating different motion profiles using cams. I had planned to do a few experiments with different shapes and actuators, like string vs sticks. Unfortunately, I got sick so I didn't have the time to execute this idea to the fullest extent like I would have liked to do. In order to simplify my goals I shifted to making a wooden
