Dear All,

I am trying to work on the virtual inmoov recently. I followed the instructions on the website http://myrobotlab.org/content/virtual-inmoov. The myrobotlab and blender were successfully installed. It worked fine until the last step (step 5). I cannot run BlenderVirtualInMoovControl.py in the myrobotlab GUI to control the virtualInmoov character. Based on my observation, the service was connected but errors were reported for the commands. Does anyone has idea how to solve this problem? Does the virtualinmoov need the Arduino to be installed?

Hello James,
We have a very easy set up for to run InMoov (complete or not) in MyRobotLab with a configuration set of files which runs the virtual InMoov by default.
Virtual InMoov runs only with java 64bit version
Virtual InMoov can run without arduino, it creates virtual Arduino.

https://github.com/MyRobotLab/inmoov/wiki/HOWTO---SETUP-&-PREREQUISITES

Follow these simple steps here for to use only Virtual InMoov:
1/ Download & update
JAVA - https://www.java.com/fr/download/manual.jsp
( if your computer is 64bit, please take 64bit version )
CHROME - https://www.google.fr/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html ( set it default )
2/ Create a new folder [mrl] on root of your disk
3/ Download myrobotlab.jar beta : https://s3.amazonaws.com/mrl-bucket-02/current/develop/myrobotlab.jar
4/ Download the launcher : https://github.com/MyRobotLab/inmoov/blob/master/START_INMOOV.bat
5/ DoubleClick START_INMOOV.bat and wait for the install of MRL to proceed.
6/ Close MRL after it says "install finished"
7/ DoubleClick again START_INMOOV.bat to re launch MRL, Virtual InMoov and voice will be automatically working.

Thank you so much for that. 
I have been struggling to get any kind of results from MRL, and this worked right away and easily.
My 5 year old grandson just spent at least an hour talking with my tablet. 
A question, the chatbot says it will google things and that it can play music, send texts, etc. Is there a way to actually enable it to do these things?

Dear Gael,

Thank you for your answer. Following your instructions, I successfully made everything running. However, when I try to speak some simple commands defined in the inmoov.py file, it just replies me with the chatbot answers. I found errors in starting the 1_AudioFile.py file. The error is pasted below:

Because the opencv service is missing, I changed the D_OpenCV.py to be 0_OpenCV.py (so does the filename in config), so that it can start at the very beginning. Then I run into another error below:

I get lost. Do you have any idea?

@Dan, glad to hear it works right out of the box!
We have been really working hard to get this all configured to simplify the whole install process for InMoov.

@James, If you plan to use only the finger starter, you have two options.
  • Use the chatbot. (will require a Google Chrome install and connection)
  • Use ear.commands(will work only with Sphinx, therefore only the voice commands provided in inmoov.py)
Just to say, chatbot is far more complex regarding the potential and you can find the list of commands here:
https://github.com/MyRobotLab/inmoov/blob/master/InMoov/chatbot/bots/en/aiml/_inmoovGestures.aiml

Make sure your config is set like below if you want to use Sphinx

InMoov/config/_InMoov.config.default:

ScriptType=RightSide


InMoov/config/service_A_Chatbot.config.default

isChatbotActivated=False


InMoov/config/service_D_OpenCv.config.default

isOpenCvActivated=False

Nota: Virtual InMoov will require at least  java 8 version and a 64x bit version processor.

Hey Gael,
I have MRL 1.0.2652 running on Windows 7 64-bit OS. I have Java 8 installed. When I click on the START_INMOOV.bat file, the robot voice says,"Virtual InMoov cannot start. Missing jm3 folder or you do not have a Java 64-bit version."
The path of my jm3 folder is C:\MRL\InMoov\jm3 . What should I do to start Virtual InMoov?
Thanks a lot, for your help Gael.

Hello Ashish,
Can you refer this to this link:

Normally considering your indications, Virtual InMoov should be starting correctly.
This is typically a recent issue related to the version you are using, this issue needs to be solved before the release of Manticore.
