• So I started building the new head for Fred, my Inmoov build.

    The Transparent filament looks really cool for a robot head. 🙂

  • Maria’s Chest
    Adding the Chest assembly accentuates InMoov’s uniqueness; InMoov is a striking work of art.
    Creations that combine innovative engineering with artistic style are rare.

    • The shoulder logo was printed in Jet Black. After 52 minutes, the Prusa i3 MK3S printer paused and prompted me to unload the black filament and load the white filament. This shoulder matches the theme of the center element with white lettering on a black background.

      • In mine, I went the other way, White background with a black logo.
        Same process, pause the print at the first layer of the logo, to look so much better than painting. 🙂

    • very nice print. what is that filament?

      • The filament is Prusa 1.75 mm PETG Jet Black and PETG White.
        I am now printing 24 hours a day with PETG. I love PETG filament with the Prusa i3 MK3S printer.

    This time, I\’m going non-standard and printing out re-mixed parts,
    but before starting, I needed something to sit the head on while i work on it.

  • Maria’s Head Added to Torso
    The head and articulated neck were added to the PETG Torso. I like the flexibility of the new neck.
    The life like expression capability is intriguing.

  • Kaa posted an update 5 years, 7 months ago

    I\’m about to order my first finger starter and planning to print it through an online store. If I\’m using PLA to print with a layer thickness of 0.1mm, what would the recommended solid infill be? There are 3 options to choose from at my local printers: 20% sparse infill, 50% or 100% solid infill. Any recommendations?

  • Maria’s Torso
    Building the Torso with PETG was straight forward thanks to Gael’s detailed instructions.

  • I decided it was time to look at the NeoPixel ring in Fred\’s stomach.

    • The NeoPixel Ring video is great! Ray, your series of videos are very helpful to InMoov makers. Thanks.

  • Latest update on the Civrays InMoov. I finished the right shoulder, but not installed yet. Things will get exciting soon because the next step is to put together all the parts built so far.

  • Meet Maria
    Since my first InMoov has escaped, a new head and neck were printed with PETG filament using the Prusa I3 MK3S 3D printer.

    • InMoov’s new name is Maria.
      Young Maria’s face reflects her pleasant personality with naive innocence.

      The old missing InMoov head was printed with PLA. I like the new Prusa White and Jet Black PETG filaments. The prints are more uniform and stronger with very consistent color between rolls. The 0.15 mm layer height is a good balance bet…[Read more]

  • Today I\’m going to start printing the shoulder with PLA and ABS whatever you think of these 2 materials. I prefer PLA because I don\’t need to apply glue and I just had a 2nd printer, an ultimate monoprice which uses only 1.75mm wire

  • Hello friends, I am thinking of starting to build the InMoov Robot and contribute as a developer.

    I have some doubts that are the following:

  • This week we have started with the assembly of the arms of our Inmoov 🙂

  • I spotted this Grove AI HAT for Edge Computing.
    Its designed to connect to the Raspberry Pi and act as an AI Accelerator for the Pi.
    So I got one to have a bit more of a look.

  • Made a start on the right shoulder. Need to figure out how to set the pot.

  • Quarantine Violation – InMoov Has Escaped.

    InMoov in disguise believes no will notice an escape from quarantine.

    The 6 volt, 12 amp-hour, battery allows InMoov to be quite mobile. The Raspberry Pi 3 and the USB WiFi allow InMoov to be autonomous. InMoov just needs to occasionally find a battery charger.

  • If I may share two video tutorial that I recently made.
    The first is electrical and electronics using Nervo boards it also covers how to us the 6V supply to power the Kinect.
    Second video is all about installing and configuring mrl.

      Good to see a standard build electronics wiring.
      I’m working on a non standard setup, but there are a lot more people needing to see the standard setup.

    • Hello Zurczurc,

      The legs are a very difficult part to make.
      They need to be strong, lightweight and fast.
      There is also the issue of balance which is also very difficult.
      Gael has released the static legs and they do hold the robot up.
      Just a note, in order to achieve the strength required to support the rest of the robot, some of the components…[Read more]

    • In the list of modified parts there are my contributions. At the moment the money is tight, but I will see more calmly, I am very good in hardware but not in mechanics.

      • I understand the mechanics, but are not very good in the cad design.
        Within the static legs that Gael has created, he has re-used parts from his early prototypes of a motorized version.

    • I really like my finger starter kit. I have had it for a while and it has become a very valuable learning tool. This setup also speeds up the the testing and debugging of servos and robotics projects. — Frank

  • Assembly of major parts finished, all servos tested – programming can start!

    • Looking good. It makes me realise just how much work I still have to do.

      • Yes Steve, and the true work seems to start on the soft(ware) part. I decided to use Arduino shields, a Raspberry PI4 with Node Red and Serial Communication via USB to connect both platforms – boy this is really challenging my software development skills. But its fun – and I consider it a marathon.

  • Turns out the Inmoov robot is taller than me 🙂

    • Love the red. I’m enjoying your videos on the static leg assembly. I’m interested in the sizes and quantities of any nuts and bolts used.

      • Hello Steve,

        The following quantities are for each leg, so you will need to double them for both legs.
        1 x M8 x 125 mm and 1 x M8 x 95 mm long for each knee.

        • Connecting the knee to the Tibia I have used 3 x M4 x 40 mm long with the head of one flattened to allow it to sit flush against the front wall of the Tibia when facing up.
          Theses could have been 25 mm long, however only had 20 mm and 40 mm long on hand.
          As it turns out the middle of those three is convenient to tie back to the small trolley I…[Read more]

      • Hello Steve,

        The last video in this series is scheduled to go live on Friday.
        Do you link it would be helpful if I include this list of parts in the description as well?

        • Yes as it will make it easier to find. The info will probably get lost in this forum as time passes.

          • Good news is, as a result of your request, I also went back to the last video, and added the parts list in the description of the Video.
            If one person asked, then there will be many other who will want to know as well 🙂

    1. Do we really need support on PivTitV3 ?
    2. Is it a mistake on the ‘Build yours’ instructions where it says you need 2x PivPetentioRound or PivPotentioSquare? for one shoulder I think you only need 1 (not 2).

    Obviously not real problems, just wondered if these are…[Read more]

    • You do need two, one for the shoulder rotator and one for the omo…. forgot the name of it, but it lifts the shoulder up using a piston while the shoulder rotate is done with a worm drive like the bicep rotator

      • Yes, but that’s a different part. For the Omniplate we use PivPotHolder, not PivPotentio. Don’t we?

        • Yeah, you may be correct….
          Maybe Gael assumes you will forget to print it again when you print the left shoulder or that you will break one ?

          • Ah, I think I see where there is some confusion. Gael shoulder tutorial actually seems to cover some of the bicep parts. So we use PivPotentio in both the pivot of the shoulder and the rotation of the bicep.

  • Hey ! sharing some progress after joining stomach and torso.

  • Since the last video generated some interest in my build of the InMoov robot (Fred) I thought I would pull off one of his arms and give you a look inside.

    • Great job Ray. The print look outstanding.

      • And that was done with what was then a very cheap CTC printer back in 2017.
        The printer also had errors in the calibration of the X and Y axis, so all joints had to be filed to make them fit.

        So even with a crappy print, you can still build a working Inmoov 🙂

  • It\’s been a while since I did anything with the Inmoov project.
    So I decided to print the Inmoov statue again, but this time at 300 mm tall.

    • Hello,
      You do not need to re install everytime you get an error.
      If you want to re install, create a new directory as for example:
      C:Mrlmyrobotlab.1.0.2693NEW/
      And install inside the new directory. This way you can keep the other version with all your settings.

    hello All

    can anyone guide me with an instruction about how to modify AIML and chatbot and work with them .
    Thanks

    • Hello,
      You can edit the AIML in Sublime Text, make your modifications and save them.
      When running START_INMOOV.bat you can use the chatbot tab to test your modifications on the fly by clicking on the button “Restart (w/o AIMLif)”

      • I edit my modification and save the file in the chatbot directory , but when i run START_INMOOV it take very long time to download my modification to be able to start chatting (more than 30 minute ) do i have to wait, or i am doing something wrong?

        • I think it depend on how big my codes is , when i saved very short file it load the chatbot quickly , but when i saved a longer one it take very long time to Load the chatbot , so do i have to wait for 2 hour maybe?

          • If it takes too long to load the AIML it’s because there is a error in your modifications.
            You can check the log screen and see if an error appears. In most cases it says where is the error and which line in which file.
            In Manticore, it is good to throw away all the AIMLIF csv files when you make modifications to the AIML.
