The field of robotics has seen significant advancements in recent years, particularly in the development of humanoid robots. One area of research that has yet to be fully explored is the design of robotic eyes. In this paper, we propose a computer-aided 3D design scheme for a robotic eye that incorporates realistic appearance, natural movements, and efficient actuation. The proposed design utilizes a tendon-driven actuation mechanism, which offers a broad range of motion capabilities. The use of the minimum number of servos for actuation, one for each agonist-antagonist pair of muscles, makes the proposed design highly efficient. Compared to existing ones in the same class, our designed robotic eye comprises aesthetic and realistic features. We evaluate the robot's performance using a vision-based controller, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed design in achieving natural movement, and efficient actuation. The experiment code, toolbox, and printable 3D sketches of our design have been open-sourced.
