Next version 'Nixie' is coming soon !

Help us to get ready with MyRobotLab version Nixie: try it !

Virtual Inmoov fingers doesnt move

i can make the davinci and move every other part of the body but the fingers, this happens in both hands, the wrist is okay though. i also try to move the fingers with the sliders and still nothing

Hundreds of sensors to read

Since arduino buffer is limited to few characters , what is the best way to read hundreds of sensors data ? (except by adding arduino boards) I heard about 16 bit bus... Ideally I want to read all the datas in my python program... Thanks in advance for your help.

MimicSpeech

Javadoc link
Example code (from branch develop):
#file : MimicSpeech.py (github)
#########################################
# MimicSpeech.py
# description: Speech synthesis based on Mimic from the MyCroft AI project.
# categories: speech, sound
# more info @: http://myrobotlab.org/service/MimicSpeech
#########################################
 
# start the service
mouth = runtime.start('mouth','MimicSpeech')
 
#possible voices ( selected voice is stored inside config until you change it )
print ("these are the voices I can have", mouth.getVoices())
print ("this is the voice I am using", mouth.getVoice())
 
mouth.speakBlocking('hello, this is mimic speech from mycroft project')
mouth.speakBlocking('I am a speech synthesis program')
mouth.speakBlocking('How was that ?')
mouth.speakBlocking('can someone fix my list voices, i think its broke. Oh thanks, fixed now')
 
#mouth.setVoice('Henry')
mouth.setVolume(0.7)
mouth.speakBlocking("Silent please")

A text to speech system from the mycroft project.

A generalized chassis platform using a differential drive.  Used to implement higher level functions like turning to a specific heading or following a path.

Resources by Service

Ahoy to my fellow MRL'ers!

I had an interesting thought while letting my turkey settle in my stomach (U.S. Thanksgiving Holiday Today). Is it or could it be possible to allocate resources for a specific service inside MRL when doing Runtime.createAndStart(...)  It is supposed to be possible to do java -Xmx1024m -jar myrobotlab.jar but does this just give the MyRobotLab process those resources?  I have been digging into Runtime and createAndStart but I am not seeing anything that looks explicitly like what I am wanting to do?  

Junior can read!

I will write up how this MAGIC all worked but check it out... It WORKS!

The Robot with Two Brains REVISITED

A few weeks ago I was trying to determine how to pass data between services running on separate instances of MRL running on a Mac Mini and a Raspberry Pi.
