- Abstract
Currently, communication in the Nahuatl language in the Sierra Norte region of the State of Puebla is a minority language, that is to say, it is only spoken by adults and is mixed with Spanish words. The objective of this project is to develop an animatronic system as a didactic material for the diffusion and promotion of a native language "nahuatl", by means of an animatronic puppet in the shape of a child, which allows the user to identify himself with the attire and characteristics of a Nahua person of the region, it also has a sound emission in nahuatl language and Spanish: words, phrases and dialogues. The main part consists of various electromechanical systems that allow it to perform synchronized movements with the sounds emitted, providing an expressive, friendly and attractive communication. With the development of this project, the personification of a prototype for the teaching of the Nahuatl language was achieved in order to promote the learning of a language that was being lost.
