Roby Sherman fuses his lifelong passion for programming with cutting-edge technology and LEGO bricks to craft dynamic, animated creations.
A tech-savvy innovator with a knack for storytelling through movement, Roby transforms simple LEGO bricks into lively, interactive masterpieces using servos, sensors, and programming magic.
Roby’s journey began at the age of 6, when he first discovered the joy of snapping LEGO bricks together. By 8, he was diving into the world of computer programming, exploring how few lines of code could unlock infinite possibilities. These two passions grew alongside each other, creating a unique synergy that now defines his work.
With decades of experience under his belt, Roby honed his technical skills working with Fortune 500 companies in technology, financial services, and telecommunications sectors. He designed large-scale, high-performance computing systems that pushed the boundaries of what technology could achieve. This experience shaped his engineering expertise and gave him the tools to think big—even when working with tiny bricks.
But Roby’s creative ambition doesn’t stop at LEGO bricks. Since 2008, he has been designing his own animatronic creations, blending mechanical engineering, electronics, and coding to build non-brick automatons that captivate audiences. When he turned his sights back to LEGO bricks, he brought this same ingenuity to his builds, elevating them with intricate mechanisms and lifelike movements.
Today, Roby’s brick creations are a seamless blend of fun, artistry, and innovation. From tiny 12 piece builds, maximizing space and part usage to intricately programmed animatronic figures that sing and move to music, his projects demonstrate how imagination and technology can bring models to life.
