For our project, we decided to make a robot with colored eyes and a lit up antenna, smashing in front of people while they watch in horror, symbolizing the impact that robots and technology as a whole have a negative influence on the wellbeing of our society. Additionally, the 'humans' are also meant to represent workers and the robot crushing them sybolizes how robots are taking over many jobs in the workplace previously done by humans.
The way we made this idea was possible was by using servos to control the arm movement. The servos are attached to the inside of the robot to hide the interworkings and wires of the robot.
