Wäre es möglich mit Arduino ein Tail zu entwickeln das Gefühle/Reaktionen misst und dann dementsprechend bewegt? Ich muss da an die Produkte von Neurowear denken, allerdings stört es mich das es so hoch Ansitz. Ich bin noch zwar ein Laie aber sehr ehrgeizig und mich würde es interessieren ob's generell machbar wäre & wie
Liebe Grüße

Dear community,
Would it be possible to develop a tail using Arduino that can detect emotions or reactions and move accordingly? It reminds me of the products from Neurowear, but I'm not a fan of how high they sit on the body. I'm still a beginner, but very ambitious, and I’m curious whether this is generally achievable and how it could be done.
It’s definitely possible to build a moving tail with Arduino, but reading “emotions” directly is much harder than it looks. Arduino can only read sensors, not feelings, so you’d need to base the movement on physical signals like:
Neurowear products use a lot of signal filtering and some form of EEG-style data processing, which is pretty complex.
With Arduino you can still get something similar, just simpler: for example, if heart rate goes up → the tail moves faster, if GSR rises → the tail droops, etc.
So yes, it's doable, but it won’t detect emotions directly you’d translate sensor signals into “mood” and then drive a servo or motor for the tail
This person seems to have developed an articulated (movable) tail that mounts between the waist and hips.
For making it move without moving your body, I imagine two, threaded, "wires/strings" could act like tendons when pulled by two motors (metal geared servos).
