EZ-InMoov Robot Head FAQ
Seamless Integration: Our kit design allows the EZ-InMoov Robot Head to easily attach to an InMoov body.
Complete Component Package: The kit comes with all the necessary hardware and electronics to build a complete head, eliminating the need to source all the components individually. Simply download and 3D print the plastic components and build your robot head. Our 3D instructions make it easy.
Simplified Design: We've reengineered the head with fewer parts, it includes a unified internal bracket, fused glasses, and a simplified eye assembly featuring a camera inside one eye for enhanced computer vision capabilities.
The Power is in Your Hands: All the electronics and battery fit within the skull, allowing you to hold a self-contained, fully functioning robot head in the palm of your hands! There’s also a 3D-printable mount, so you can work on your robot head on a table or desk.
Enhanced Movement: Experience greater up/down eyeball movement range and a standard-sized servo for head side-to-side movement, saving space and cost.
Immersive Audio: A ported voice box and small speaker produce vibrant sound without the need for a large form-factor speaker.
Customizable: Modify the open-source 3D (STL) files to create your own unique features and upgrades. Add a NeoPixel Blaster or simple LEDs to light up your head and choose your own 3D filament colors to give the head your own unique style.
IoTiny Integration: Our IoTiny wireless Robot Controller connects the head to a mobile device or computer, allowing remote control, autonomous features, and networkability with other EZ-Robot controllers.
Versatile Power Options: Power the head with the included LiPo battery for portability or a 5-7.5VDC wall power adapter (not included) for continuous use without recharging.
Comprehensive Software Suite: The EZ-InMoov Robot Head is powered by Synthiam ARC, allowing users of all skill levels to experiment with a broad range of A.I. including Microsoft’s Cognitive Services and Open AI’s Chatbot (subscriptions may be required).
Multiple Programming Languages: Move beyond the free sample projects and program your robot head to perform complex human-robot interactions using JavaScript, Python, or Blockly.
Mobile App Compatibility: Control the head with ease using the ARC mobile app.
Advanced AI Capabilities: The EZ-InMoov Robot Head supports vision tracking, text-to-speech, and speech recognition. Enjoy AI chatbot responses, including ChatGPT, for dynamic interactions (subscriptions may be required).
The EZ-InMoov Robot Head is a game-changer in the DIY/educational robot market, opening up new possibilities for research and exploration while simplifying the building and programming process. With its combination of cutting-edge features and robust software integration, the EZ-InMoov Robot Head can help you achieve excellence in the world of robotics and AI.
There are two vision options for your EZ-InMoov Robot Head. The first option has the camera embedded in the eye, for a more "human" appearance. Users who want their robot head to utilize more advanced visual tracking and artificial intelligence may find it advantageous to build the robot head that has the camera in the forehead. These STL files are labelled as "Alternate" in the 3D Print Files below.
The InMoov Robot is an open-source project that was originally designed & created by Gael Langevin. These adaptations are provided free of charge through Creative Commons.
