I saw those too and they look like a great product for a great price. That lighting kit makes them look awesome! For the do it youreselfers on here, you might want to have them check out the YouTube videos by willetfx. The movement is very realistic and they even show how to actually make the eerily realistic eyeballs in the earlier videos. They use u-joints from a radio controlled truck (Traxxas driveshaft) or I saw some have used the plastic u-joints that come in Lego kits. Either can be bought on eBay. I haven't got a chance to make any of these yet, but really want to. I'm impatiently waiting for my EZ-B V3 to arrive. Might make a good first project for me to get used to the board and software. :-) Here's an example of one of the videos showing one eye and the movement you can achieve:  Here's their 2 eye setup (2 servos):  Here's one with eyelids (4 servos):  Thanks, Brandon

Romain · Answer

Hi hmanso, for your question, I think it's a static camera (computer cam).

hmanso · Answer

Bonjour Romain, Ok, mais où est-il installe? Merci pour votre reponse / aide. Au revoir et merci

Romain · Answer

Il faudrait demander confirmation à DJ, mais je pense que c'est soit la camera de l'ordi, soit une autre cam que l'on ne voit pas clairement sur la video. En tous les cas elle n'est pas incorporee dans la tete, c'est sûr.

Romain · Answer

Regarde sur cette page il en parle : Robot head citation : " The new Relative Servo Tracking option allows a stationary camera to control the position of servos based on the objects location. In the videos below, you will see it in action."
