| Animatronic Policeman - the Police Federation | August 2003 |

The figure of a Policeman sat on a bed in an iron barred prison cell on the Police Federation's stand at the party Political Conferences 2003 where he was interviewed by MPs.
The skin of the head was silicone, which allowed for realistic facial movements; and the controller, MP3 player and speakers were inside the body, so the figure was self contained needing only a mains power socket. See the video on the Policeman page. |
| Animatronic Crofter - the Hootananny Celtic Heritage Centre, Inverness | June 2003 |
See Script
The figure is of a nineteen fifties Crofter (Scottish farmer) talking about his harsh life and is installed in the Hootananny Celtic Heritage Centre in Inverness.
The skin of the head is silicone which allows for realistic facial movements and long life; and the controller, MP3 player and speakers are inside the body so the figure is self contained needing only a mains power socket. The Crofter speaks in Gaelic which is translated by a Tour Guide prior to an audio visual presentation.
The figure also has a moving arm with which he gestures at the end when he says 'let the ceilidh begin'.

| Animatronic English Civil War figure. Multiple programable head and eye movements. | February 2001 |
The Animatronic Head is fully programmable for movements of nod, shake and eyes from side to side.
All the mechanics are contained in the head which uses the standard Gems neck-post attachment which enables it to be fitted to any of the Gems range of bodies.
The moves for the head and eyes are recorded by moving a control knob, repeating for each of the movements and so building up the performance which can last up to four minutes. The performance can be triggered by infrared sensors etc and can also be set to repeat automatically.
