The Robot

Stiff, blocky moves: hold the arms at crisp right angles and snap between distinct positions with sharp head turns. Loops.

How

• Use square arm shapes: UpperArm:[90,0,0] (forward) with Forearm folded 90°, or UpperArm:[0,0,±90] (out to the side / up). Hold each pose, then snap.
• Snap the head between turns (Head:[0,±25,0]).
• The smooth slerp softens it; keep the keyframes far apart so it still reads as mechanical. loop:true.

Example

• "do the robot" -> {"durationMs":3200,"say":"Beep boop.","sequence":{"loop":true,"frames":[{"t":0,"pose":{"RightUpperArm":[90,0,0],"RightForearm":[0,0,90],"LeftUpperArm":[0,0,90],"LeftForearm":[0,0,0]}},{"t":0.33,"pose":{"LeftUpperArm":[90,0,0],"LeftForearm":[0,0,-90],"RightUpperArm":[0,0,0],"RightForearm":[0,0,0],"Head":[0,25,0]}},{"t":0.66,"pose":{"RightUpperArm":[0,0,90],"RightForearm":[0,0,0],"LeftUpperArm":[0,0,0],"LeftForearm":[0,0,0],"Head":[0,-25,0]}},{"t":1,"pose":{"RightUpperArm":[90,0,0],"RightForearm":[0,0,90],"LeftUpperArm":[0,0,90],"LeftForearm":[0,0,0],"Head":[0,0,0]}}]}}
