Another paper automata from Keisuke Saka. I didn't make any adjustments, just 2 variants can be built, either a dog or a cat, the difference is only in the head. So I don't have the head glued on, but it can be replaced...when gluing, everything fit and the finished machine works nice and smoothly.

"It's a Trap" when my kitty does that and you touch her belly, Pounce, she attaches her claws to you.

......this is not paper automata, but an optical illusion that gives the impression that the dog's head is spinning, so I'll put it here.
I've had this little thing for a long time and I still didn't understand how it could deceive the eye... so I glued it on and still nothing, until the moment I took a picture of it, or made a video... it's unbelievable how it can deceive the eye - from a certain angle it looks like it's still looking at you

Yes, it depends on the angle you are looking at it. It helps to close one eye while walking around it and looking at it. I built the dragon version a few times ago:

Happy Halloween Follow-Me-Dragon
Howdee, friends and fans! It's Halloween and as every year I have decided to build a small paper model for my dear colleagues at work. This time I chose the cute follow-me dragon who turns his head toward you no matter where you stand. It is indeed a fascinating illusion which blows your mind...

...those dragons are perfect
I look at it with only one eye at the right angle and in reality it is even better than in the photos or video

Mike, if you ever wanted to design something more intricate, this online program allows you to make multiple gears in any arrangement you can think of. Once done, you can take a screen shot and reproduce the gears. It's free online. They charge to download the file, but you can capture the image with "PRT SCN" button, and import that image into XNView, or any other image opening program. I have a CAD program, and use parametric scaling to get the gears to the size I need. I could easily do that for you, I would just need the diameter of one gear, and the picture.
Involute spur gear generator and simulator
Gear Generator is a tool for creating involute spur gears and download them in SVG format. In addition it let you compose full gear layouts with connetcted gears to design multiple gears system with control of the input/output ratio and rotation speed. Gears can be animated with various speed to...

Another pretty funny automaton by Keisuke Saka with a cat driving a robotic vacuum cleaner. This paper automata can also be purchased on etsy.com. (pdf: 4 pages with parts + 2 pages with instructions) I didn't make any adjustments, everything fit when gluing and, as always with this author, the finished paper automata works without problems.

Another paper automata from Keisuke Saka that can be downloaded from the Canon website. This one is interesting in that the reverse movement is ensured by a rubber band. It is quite gratifying that the author continues to create automatic machines for the Canon site, so anyone who wants to try a free paper automata can try this one, for example.

Another paper automata from Keisuke Saka that can be downloaded from the Canon website. The author works nicely with the paper, there is no rubber band inside, the whole thing moves thanks to the appropriate cut of the neck and the weight of the head itself. I realized late that the white inside of the neck would be visible, so I painted it only after cutting it, which wasn't exactly the case... either you have to paint it uncut, or another option is that I tried to use printing from the back side for the next paper automata as well, and then it's not necessary to use so much paint...

Another automatic from Keisuke Saka that can be downloaded from the Canon website. Similar to the Tyrannosaurus, the back movement is provided by a rubber band. Built without modifications, except that I printed the back of the parts, so I didn't have to retouch the white areas as much that would be visible...
