What is fri3dbot
Fri3dbot is a project to be displayed at fri3dcamp 2018. It's a ~3 meter high robot made of pvc piping with a screen in the head to display the robot's face.
This face is animated using Unity, and this repository contains these animations.
To create some diversity, the robot has multiple faces, with each having different 'emotions', basicly the different animations.
Each face is given a random display time, and each 'emotion' within the face is cycled with variable play lengths. When changing to another face, a 'transition' scene is played.
The faces are (at the moment):
LedFace is a 3x 8x8 'pixel matrix' display, one for each eye and a mouth.
To animate this face it cycles rapidly trough different scenes.

Obviously based on bender the robot from Futurama, this well-known robot face gives the project a recognizable character for the viewers.
The animations are done with unity animation and looks fluent (minor mistakes as usual of course ;)).

More faces may follow, but due to the high workload of animating the faces it might prove too time consuming to create any more.
