How to Make an Animatronic
Want to build one yourself? Our guide walks through the full process we use to bring figures to life — from choosing a character to choreographing motion, light, and sound.
- Plan articulation that delivers the most character
- Pre-build a working virtual assembly in CAD
- Build mechanisms and mount servos that last
- Wire the electronics and wireless control
- Budget power for servos, lights, and logic
- Choreograph motion, light, and sound
About
Built by Makers, for Makers
KineMachina is an animatronics studio that designs and builds expressive robotic creatures and the open-source controllers that power them. We believe the best way to push the craft forward is to share everything we learn — hardware designs, firmware, and software are all open source.
Whether you want a custom animatronic built for your collection, event, or display, or you want to build your own with our controllers and components, we're here to help.
