Android’s mascot has been everyone’s favorite green robot throughout its history, which was not officially named the Bugdroid. Google may have stopped creating fun mascot statues to commemorate new OS versions, but the Android team began 2021 with a tutorial video for creating an origami Bugdroid.
A new video uploaded to the Android developers YouTube channel today shows how to build an Android origami. The plans were made by the Google software engineer Lisa Nguyen Quang Do, and compiled on video by Google VP engineer Seang Chau.
The end result after about 11 minutes of folding is a Bugdroid head (remember, Google cut off the body in 2019) that also serves as a finger puppet. A PDF printout of the instructions is available here (mirror).
