Hello all, I wanted to start my own thread to discuss my Inmoov and my conversion to EZ Robot. I appreciate all the work by the MRL guys but I struggle with it. I am indebted to the help they gave me but I needed something a little more along in development with some documentation.
So here is my guy. Pretty standard build as far as inmoov's go.
Here's the back. All the standard inmoov components. Dual 256 Megas, Nervo boards USB hub, Power supplys etc.
So the tear down begins. I need to clean up that wiring too. What a rats nest!
I just received my EZR controller and camera so I have no idea how to program it yet. I figured I would at least try to set up a GUI that allows me to manually move the servos like the MRL swing GUI. Five or six hours later and a few tutorials and I have this three screen model. I was easily able to add way more than basic servo control.
Here is the main control screen. Contains the face tracking speech functions and a custom Pandorabot for AI. Some MS cognitive stuff as well.
Here is the second screen. Head functions with a mouth control servo, neck, torso, and the 2 neopixel rings I have.
Third screen is for the arms and hands
So now I pretty much have all the same functionality I had in MRL give or take. I am pretty sure I am not doing this entirely correctly but it will come with time. Need to get into the scripting. I guess there are some tutorials to watch. So far my experience has been pretty good and in a day eclipsed my MRL progress of the last 6 months.
I'll update this thread with my progress and appreciate any feedback.

Playing with a few poses
That pose where he points down reminds me of iron man. Has anyone thought of making an iron man head for their inmoov? that would get a lot of attention! probably go viral pretty quick
Hadn't considered that. I guess I would have to call him Plastic Man though and that doesn't make the bad guys quiver.
Very nice InMoov Perry! Lorn
Thanks Lorn. EZR has really brought it to life. It was basically a statue for a year.
Making some improvements on the head. My mouth servo never really worked that great. Made a few adjustments. Added a neopixel ring as a robot aint worth salt without flashing lights. I want to try to use the lights in the head to indicate emotional state along with tone of the response in the voice. Hopefully with happy or sad responses from the chat bot.
Light blue head for happy. Trying to make him look angry here.
Great looking InMoov, Perry. Where did you get the Kinect fill in pieces?
