Skin application structure for robots and a robot having such a structure

This invention describes a robot eye assembly designed to look more human-like. It includes an eyeball, movable upper and lower eyelids, all contained within a frame. This eye is operated by a rotating mechanism and fits into an eyehole in the robot's casing, often connected to a second eye.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread development of social and humanoid robotics. Advancements in miniaturized actuators and custom fabrication methods like 3D printing now make such intricate mechanical eye assemblies more practical and cost-effective to produce for a wider range of applications.
