Cog a social interactive robot

Hi  I have been printing the files that were generously supplied by Mickey666mauss for his creation of Zoe.  I was interested in the original Zoe head as it just appealed to me as I wanted to have a socially interactive robot and I feel that robot would not be viewed as to human looking and get a negative reaction.  like my inmoov and buddy my human looking robot head seem to get on occasion.  I wanted to have my Zoe have a mouth so emotion could be verbal.  so I have added a  mouth on zoe which I think looks very good and also works very well.  Other changes I have made to Mickey's design, I have a lot of regular servos mostly metal gear, I decided to make my version of zoe with standard servos and using a EZ-robot V4 Controller as this is what I am more comfortable with.  of course I had to alter the parts of zoe to fit standard servos, which was not an easy task as I feel I am not that good with Cad design.  but I managed to make due.     This version of Zoe will be mobile mounted on a mobile base and I have lots of design to complete to make that happen.  My version of Zoe is not complete but most of the parts have been printed.  I have had a belt self destruct on my delta printer and I am waiting for a replacement and during this pandemic it will take a while.  the arms are almost complete but I will add pictures of that and Zoe moving later.  the pictures I have downloaded show Zoe and Zoe with eyes illuminated.  the camera is also installed the lights are bright so Zoe can see better in the dark.

Hey Bruce, could be that somtimes there is not as much participation in a thread as one would like to see...but maybe some are too shy, while others might not have something to bring to the table. I have watched Dave's B9 videos too, and did not comment...just because I am not really a part of the B9 builders world, which on the other hand does not imply that I am not interested or inspired by Daves's work!:)

Also I am really happy to have sparked some building fun from my side, but of course Cog is your creation...that was the whole idea of it in the first place, sharing ideas to develope!!

Keep it up!! Good to have you!!! XXX Swann aka Mickey666Maus

@EzAng  As I have said I don't waste my time making videos, as no one watches them anyway,  but the last one I made was when I was replacing Bruce-e elbows with the new aerious planitary gear elbows .  It was called My inmoov robot wants to go trick or treating.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfD0saECb0A  there are a few others I can't remember where.

I watched all 3 videos - Very Good my friend, thanks

I know there are many other things to do in life, like at my country / farm place, I am getting my solar energy and military generated perfected beside trying to tame the wilderness  :-)

I played the guitar for many years, even gave lessons before the virus situation happened, this stopped me. :( So I can either say, no one listens to me now or I choose to say, I am playing guitar for my own enjoyment, yes.

Be well my friend, I see you have many great talents, enjoy what you do, not caring who else cares or doesn't care.

I know this was some months ago but I just joined here.  I like the bot, the design, and the whole look.  I'd like to see what's inside the base if you ever post more pics.  If you change your mind on making vids, I'd love to see it in action.  Having made videos myself, I can understand, its a lot of work so a very small set of people can see what you do.  I enjoyed your InMoov in costume most of all.
