With previous success animating my InMoov hand with arduino its time to get started with My Robot Lab. There are useful tutorials available on the MyRobotLab website at http://myrobotlab.org/tutorials
At first I was a little nervous about using the command line interface (cli) but after saving the mrl.jar file to my c drive and typing the commands into the cli exactly as shown on the "starting a new mrl" tutorial I was pleasantly surprised to see a graphical user interface (gui) for MyRobotLab (mrl)

Java? Python? Whatt are these guys talking about?
| MyRobotLab is written in Java, so it should run on Windows or Linux. Inside of MyRobotLab there are many useful services, including the Python Service which allows code written in Python to interact with the other services. The Arduino microcontroller is supported by the Arduino service in MyRobotLab and can be used to connect inputs and outputs to MyRobotLab. |  |
Below is a video using MyRobotLab conneted to my InMoov right arm, through an Arduino. The Arduino has the mrlcomm.ino sketch installed and MyRobotLab is running a modified version of the Inmoov.minimal.py example code with custom gestures created using the InMoov gesture creator service. See more on my instructable Making InMoov Move.
Success! Or as they say at My Robot Lab "worky"!
