[@onidaaitsubasa4177]

That's the first speaking robot that I've seen that actually has an articulated tongue. That needs to be the standard for all humanoid robots.

[@alvaropasseri5754]

The mobility of the lips is a very complex thing, perhaps this video of mine will give the start to others. In 15 days I will post a video with a robot head, where I will explain how a humanoid tongue is created with all its mechanical and electronic movements.

[@Morgan-yl3ou]

​@@alvaropasseri5754it's fantastic, ma,especially me wonder if the robot can " roll his rs"

[@JustTiisLeague]

I think you need to more push (and additional micro cervos) for the muscles to look like they’re forming Fs and Os, and other letters that the cheek cervos should be pushing forward. The lips should be retracting inwards as well. May I also add the jaw has to retract on certain letters as well.

[@alvaropasseri5754]

Inside the head there are 23 micro servos, adding more servos is not possible. I'm designing a new robotic head, I'll see what I can do. Thank you.

Sorry but I don't understand what you mean.

Just subscribed today and I've already learn so much. Thank you thank you😊

Stay tuned, there will be more interesting videos. Thank you

[@bonbonpony]

It doesn't speak. It merely moves its mouth to the pre-recorded sound.

[@alvaropasseri5754]

Indeed, the title of the video refers to the mobility of the lips, it is obvious that the sound is recorded.

,,,,,, URGENT!!! John 3:16 For God loved the world, so He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Realize you're a SINNER! You CANNOT earn your way into heaven! JESUS is the ONLY way! REPENT and CALL upon JESUS to SAVE you now! BELIEVE that JESUS is the Son of God, that He came in the flesh, lived a sinless life and then died on a CROSS for you! TRUST that God raised JESUS from the dead on the third day! By FAITH accept the shed BLOOD of JESUS ALONE as payment for YOUR sins! Almighty God is about to pour out JUDGEMENT on this world! Only Christians born again in the SPIRIT are about to VANISH! Dear LORD, please soften hearts now to accept the GOSPEL - the Good News of JESUS CHRIST!

[@Hukkinen]

Interesting. The McGurk effect demonstrates the interaction of hearing and vision of perceived speech. Visual lip movements tend to override the voice with human faces.

Hi Alvaro, im wondering if you would have a more natural/realistic mouth and facial movement, if you used "motion capture", the motion capture software would track the movement of a real persons face, that data could be sent in real time to the animatronic head which would copy/mimic the expressions, mouth and lip movement of the person being tracked by the motion capture.

[@edwardfortae2350]

So that silicon from the gun actually sticks to the rubber from the cast? I've never had luck with that sticking to other silicon rubber. I tried to patch tears that way but end up mixing more of the same rubber to glue it. I'm learning a lot watching you and I don't touch robots. Lol

[@alvaropasseri5754]

I've been doing it this way for 40 years, and it's always worked!

[@MaximilianonMars]

This is very interesting and informative. I've seen animatronic and robotics videos but I haven't seen such a clear breakdown of how mouths articulate before. Is your method a standard in these industries? I mean, are there other approaches to mimic human faces that are more or less accurate that are worth exploring? Or is this the pinnacle of animatronic techniques, accounting for all meaningful muscle groups?

[@alvaropasseri5754]

I haven't reached the pinnacle of animatronics yet, but it's not far away. I recently built a new tongue with very complex movements, (Enter my KZbin channel and watch the latest video posted). This tongue is able to make the "R" with roll, to make the "TH", the "L" and more. So in September I will make a new video "Mobility of the lips 2)

Not seen the video but I think some guy might use it wrong. Just saying

[@alvaropasseri5754]

For example?

Grazie! Un abbraccio forte.

The dislikes are because it looks a bit creepy, not because they don't like it (I think so and it's quite impressive)

[@infoyt73tech]

Thank you sir it's inspiring work for everyone one who want build this animatronic face❤❤❤

[@alvaropasseri5754]

Thank you

[@d3str0i3r]

two things that might make installation of face easier either removable levers you glue to the face before putting it on the head or a standardized clear skin you can stretch over the entire head, that then gets sprayed with adhesive to apply the intended outer skin, this could also help reinforce portions prone to tearing

[@alvaropasseri5754]

I've been doing these things for 40 years, and I assure you that I've tried them all! Unfortunately, your proposals are not feasible. Thank you

[@AnimatronicsArchive]

Do you think you could ever do something like this on a canid head? Would be super curious to see if it could be done! Obviously you’d need to take a few artistic liberties

[@alvaropasseri5754]

of course a canid head can move its lips, but obviously it doesn't speak and will emit howls.

[@Morgan-yl3ou]

Absolutely gobsmacked .....exuse the pun! Wow❤❤❤ Im a life time lip reader so this is ground breaking for me to actually start to lip read you amazing ai.robot... Starting to look moremrealistic The tongue is outstanding 👌

[@alvaropasseri5754]

After the success of this video, I made a new tongue, which can also roll the "R". It will be posted not this week but next. Thank you

[@alvaropasseri5754]

Your appreciation encourages me to move forward. Thank you

Awesome build!

[@gblargg]

4:41 "Let's listen" isn't this thing mute? It's just moving the mouth, not actually making sounds by air movement over vocal cords. This is misleading.

[@alvaropasseri5754]

In the tutorial I talk about how to move the lips with servo motors based on the letters of the alphabet, and not about reproducing the vibrations of the vocal cords with air which has nothing to do with animatronics and special effects, but concerns science. The next step will be to interact with artificial intelligence.

[@dboijahskush1251]

4:25 internet asks how low can it go?

[@alvaropasseri5754]

Excuse me, can you specify better what you mean?

[@gatoninja4387]

Why are 2 mega arduinos required to sequence the gestures?

[@alvaropasseri5754]

The first Arduino Mega is used to move 23 servos of the head, the second board, turned off, is used to move the rest of the robot's body. Go to my channel and watch the video of Leonardo da Vinci.

[@gatoninja4387]

@@alvaropasseri5754 YES I SAW YOUR ROBOT LEONARDO, IT HAS GREAT SMOOTH AND HUMAN MOVEMENTS, WITHOUT SPASMS LIKE CURRENT ROBOTS, ALSO MADE WITH COMMON DC MOTORS. IT MUST BE THE ENVY OF ROBOT BUILDERS.

What happened to "L"?

[@alvaropasseri5754]

You're absolutely right, Caught up in so many technical problems, I lost the "L" Thank you

[@DanielSpringwald]

Thank you for this very cool video. What kind of rubber do you use?

[@alvaropasseri5754]

There are various brands of rubber on the market, the important thing is that the rubber must have a shore close to "0", it means as soft as possible, and this is why I reinforce the sides of the mouth with the net, in this way it has a lot of elasticity but the mouth does not tear.

[@DanielSpringwald]

@@alvaropasseri5754 Thank you for the quick reply. I didn't mean the manufacturer, but the type of rubber: do you use silicone? Why I ask: Painting the lips looks easy in the video, but my experience with silicone is that all kinds of colors are difficult to hold, unless you mix them yourself with silicone...

[@Hukkinen]

@@DanielSpringwald He used oil paints on some other video..

[@alvaropasseri5754]

@@DanielSpringwald The type of silicone I use is "MM709" from the English company "CHT" (shore 10). To color I use the translucent cartridge silicone rubber that plumbers use, I put some of it in a glass and dilute it with white spirit, and I color it with oil paints and mix it in with a brush. On the MM709 silicone rubber, the plumber's gun silicone sticks and never comes off, I have never used it on the other rubbers. Later I will make videos covering all the artistic parts; eyes, teeth, shaping a face, coloring, etc.
