This concept to make a humanoid head, that speaks like a human, chooses phrases randomly. As (it) speaks , it moves head, eyeballs and eyebrows randomly in an emulation of a human. This can be useful for lonely people who cannot have a pet at home.
This is the basic idea..Later it is possible to develope it further to talk longer durations, and even tell short stories stored on an SD card.
Part 1: The Pre-Build
Design
I've done this project based on the line follower in the book Arduino Robotics by Warren, Adams, and Molle.

What do orchestra conductors, wizards, and Leap controller users have in common? They all control things by just waving their hands. [Saddam] must have wanted the same effect, so he created a robot that he controls over wireless using hand gestures.
An accelerometer reads hand motions and sends them via an RF module to an Arduino. This is a bit of a trick, because the device produces an analog value and [Saddam] uses some comparators to digitize the signal for the RF transmitter. There is no Arduino or other CPU on the transmit side (other than whatever is in the RF module).
From the video, it looks like a natural way to control a robot as long as you don’t mind duct taping the transmitter to your hand. Of course, if you are a real hacking geek, you might even consider that an advantage as you can pretend you are working on becoming a cyborg.
[Saddam] spends some time talking about how the accelerometer works internally, and we’ve covered that before if you are curious. It turns out the devices aren’t as much electronic as we usually think of them, but mechanical.

Using a combination of Lego bricks and other electronics, Danny built a robot that is controlled wirelessly by a wearable Lego "exosuit."
