Maker brings Disney's Ratatouille 'Remy' to life with some clever coding and 3D printing

Raspberry Pi.

If you're looking for a last-minute Halloween wearable to impress your friends, you've got to check out this awesome Remy, from the movie "Ratatouille", created by engineer, maker, and developer Christina Ernst aka shebuildsrobots over on Instagram. Using an Adafruit Metro Mini, this little robotic rat can be worn on your head and appears to control your every movement by tugging at your hair. That said, we think it could be easily recreated using a Raspberry Pi Pico with a little tweak to the code.

The Remy figure was designed by Ernst and is made to be 3D printed. The hollow design makes it lightweight, and easy to mount to a hidden headband so that it can be perched right on top of your head, just like the movie. Remy's hands have holes for your hair to pass through and are moveable thanks to a couple of hobby servos.
