I feel like this is a dumb question, but I am going to ask it anyway.

I have been playing around with the vision examples that come with MRL. These are very cool and work well. The OpenCV GUI is very nice and friendly. It is what brought me to MRL. Playing with faceTracking.py, I see that that the location and size of the box is printed to the python window. My question is this, how would one send this data across a serial port?

On many robots, when they move their arm, it tends to sway back and forth as the motion stops. Do you use some sort of sensor system, and active control to compensate for this swaying?

I recently downloaded myrobotlab for the purpose of creating the inmoov robot.  When I try installing the arduino or any other service it says that is has finished processing updates, but it still says not installed next to the arduino and inmoov services and I am unable to start them.  When you right click on them it still only gives the install option, no start.  What have I done wrong? What do I need to do?

Grog,

Nice job!

I come from the ROS(Robotics Operating System) world that uses a publisher/subscribe paradigm for doing asynchronous messaging.

How does MRL address asynchronous messaging from multiple devices/sensors?

(also, as a side note:  Where/how did you get that "Jarvis" (Iron Man movie) sounding voice that shows up in the Finger tutorial for InMoov? It sounds great!)

We ran the our servos under the basic arduino program and the servos worked without fail, however when we run the MRL software, inmoov specifically, we do not receive any power to our servos. we recently updated the software and no problems arose immediately.

Please get back to us with any info you may have as we are running very low on work time.

Thanks in advance.
