Eva is a robotic face designed to realistically replicate human facial expressions and movements. Eva has 14 facial skin muscles, 6 neck muscles, and 5 eyeball and eyelid muscles. Eva will be used as a platform for further research into AI for Human-Computer interfacing. In particular, she will help explore the possibility of emotional intelligence in machines. She is actuated by 25 MG90S servo motors and controlled by a Raspberry Pi 3.

Eva was designed to be manufactured for around $900 with access to standard tools, a laser cutter, and a desktop 3D printer. The current prototype was printed on an Ultimaker 2+ Extended but any desktop 3D printer can be used as long as it has a build height of at least 11 inches.
