The present invention relates to a system (10) for actuating eyes (12a, 12b) of a doll (14), at least having a support structure (16) with a recess portion (18) for receiving a correlatingly formed plug-in element (20) along an axis of insertion (E); wherein the recess portion (18) is formed so as to extend at least to an intake opening (22) of the doll (14); a pivot means (24), which is pivotable about a pivot means axis (S) in order to at least indirectly actuate the eyes (12a, 12b) at least depending on a pivoting position of the doll (14); an eye actuation arrangement (26), which is pivotable about an eye actuation pivot axis (A) in order to at least indirectly actuate the eyes (12a, 12b) at least depending on a rotational position of the plug-in element (20) fitted in the recess portion (18).

In this respect, the present invention furthermore relates to a plug-in element (20), an eye actuation set (52), a doll head (54) and a doll, which enable a greater scope of eye actuation.

Putting clothes on a robot is facilitated. A robot includes an operation control unit that selects a motion, a drive mechanism that executes the selected motion, a mode setting unit that sets a mode of the robot, and a power supply control unit. The operation control unit restricts a torque of an actuator included in the drive mechanism when a clothes changing mode is set, and the power supply control unit maintains energization of an electronic circuit that realizes a function of the operation control unit, even while in the clothes changing mode.

An apparatus includes: a foldable material including a first portion and a second portion, the second portion at least partially surrounding the first portion; an inner connection structure; and an outer connection structure. The inner connection structure is configured to rotate relative to the outer connection structure; at least part of the first portion of the foldable material is attached to the inner connection structure and at least part of the second portion of the foldable material is attached to the outer connection structure; and the foldable material changes shape when the inner connection structure rotates relative to the outer connection structure.

A mechanical toy incorporating structures that coordinate the positioning and movement of specific body parts for rotating, flipping and grasping movements with programmable systems, methods, and devices within toy structures. Extensions connected to opposite sides of a motive body or head assembly including grasping members and support structures for rotating and/or turning actions about a central body portion including grasping appendages. The toy apparatus may also interact with accessory items to enhance play value.

This disclosure provides devices and systems for a moveable eyeball assembly for a doll head. The eyeball assembly can have a rear portion having at least one first eyeball magnet and a substantially hemispherical shape forming a rear cavity in the rear portion. The eyeball assembly can have a front portion having a substantially hemispherical shape. The front portion can have at least one second eyeball magnet configured to magnetically couple with the at least one first eyeball magnet. The front portion can have a pupil element. The front portion can have an iris portion surrounding the pupil element. The eyeball assembly can be received in a gimbal assembly to move the eyeball assembly in at least two axes.

An animatronic device includes a mechanical eyeball configured to rotate about a first rotational axis and a second rotational axis that intersect at a fixed center point. A controller is configured to generate eye movement instructions that cause the animatronic device to rotate the mechanical eyeball about at least one of the first rotational axis and the second rotational axis. The eye movement instructions are generated based on an eye tracking system used to track movement of an eye of a user. The controller maps the tracked eye movement to movement of the mechanical eyeball and generates eye movement instructions based on the mapping.
