  • Patent number: 11235255
    Abstract: This disclosure provides devices and methods for implementing a robotic doll head. An implementation of the doll head can have a face mask having a pair of integral eyelids and an eyeball actuation frame supporting a pair of moveable eye assemblies. Each moveable eye assembly can have an eyeball element and an eyelid actuator assembly. The eyelid actuator assembly can have an eyelid support that can be coupled to an interior surface of one integral eyelid of the pair of integral eyelids. The eyelid actuator assembly can have a drive band configured to magnetically couple to the eyelid support and move the drive band in an arcuate path to blink the integral eyelids. The moveable eye assemblies can be offset from a centerline of the doll head by a separation angle by the eyeball actuation frame.
