-Six [[Actuators_Available_in_the_Mechatronics_Lab#Futaba_S3004_standard_ball_bearing_RC_servo_motor|Futaba RC servos]] are used in this project. Four are used for the movement of the two arms, and two others are used to move the entire body. Arm movement is accomplished by incorporating a pair of 2 DOF parallel manipulators using the four servos. For each parallel manipulator, two servos placed 1.5 inches apart along the edge of the top platform provide actuation to a 5-bar linkage. Each section of the linkage is made the same length at 3 inches from the point of rotation. With this linkage geometry, the tip of the 5-bar linkage can sweep an area of the X-Y plane that is parallel to the front edge of the structure. Attached to the end tip of the 5-bar linkage is a string that is attached to the wrist of the puppet on the other end. A movement of the manipulator, therefore, generates a corresponding movement of the arm, just like an actual marionette.

-Other types of complex linkages were explored that could provide a pure, straight-line motion. However, no linkage could provide both pure horizontal and vertical motions using two actuators. See the Links section for other linkages that we explored.

-The goal of this project was to make a marionette that could move in a 2D plane via motors.  Our group decided to show movement by programming 5 different routines, each controlled by a button press. We used a 5 bar linkage with 2 RC Servos to motivate each arm with 2 degrees of freedom, and also added one RC Servo to each shoulder of the figure to allow it to rise off the ground, giving the appearance of moving its feet. Our puppet was a [[:image:Gijoe_datasheet.jpg|GIJoe doll]], whose joints we modified for easier motion. Also, we modeled the servo frame to resemble a stage for added effect. Our 5 routines were:
