Perry posted an update 9 years, 1 month ago
Here is my version of the forearm. Basically trying the same as Marten. I wanted a straight run for the tendons so I would not need the tensioning spring system. Kept Gael’s servo holder and guide system. Also the wrist drive is in line and not offset which I think makes it a little more robust. Used a slimmed down version of Marten’s…[Read more]
Looks awesome Perry ! It’s a nice option to use the default servo’s 🙂
And are you happy with the mechanical results ? For you it’s better to see and feel the results instead of the default setup 🙂
Thanks Marten. I like it a lot. There is still a bit of tuning to do but the geometries are good and the wrist rotation is solid. I may still put an inline tension spring in place but not sure. Time will tell if it is needed.
Great Perry, I see that there is many inventors around!
Thanks Gael!

hey Gael,i am also making inmoov as you have seen my previous video of figure starter so now i know arduino,C++ very well so i want to know which language i should to get better confidence on inmoov should i learn Python or Java ??
If you will use MyRobotLab, then Python is good, so that you can use the services that already exists. If you want to develop new or change services, you need to learn Java. So my advice is start with Python, then move on to Java. Both Java and C++ are object oriented languages. Since you already know C++ you have a very good start.

Hello Gael, we received our order yesterday. Thank you for all your support , these products will help a lot my brother in his thesis. I will try to post a video or photos ASAP. thank you again Erica.
Great, I’m glad you received the complete hand and forarm in time for your brother! Don’t hesitate to post a review about the product on the shop. It’s strange but almost nobody does, although it would guide others during their choice. Have a good time building!

Before I can start with my complete InMoov, I need to upgrade my UM2 filament spool-holder. I’ve ordered some COLORFABB_XT spools with 2.2kg filament 🙂 Not sure if XT filament is the right choice for some mechanical parts.
yep… Colorfabb is great stuff, iv tried every brand/type out there ,, i do a lot of printing,,, In Australia i use “Blueprinted” filaments which is pretty good quality for a cheap filament Colorfabb is hard to get here and its bloody expensive.. I only use PLA you would surprised how tough the stuff when printed correctly – you wont have any…[Read more]
Thanks for your information. I get lucky to live in the Netherlands, the shipping costs are free when I order one spool. And with the 2.2kg spools it’s 30% less in price.
I’m sure I need to play with some settings (temps and max speed). I hope to start this evening with some tests 🙂
I’ve used CollorFabb PLA for some time now and this prints…[Read more]
Its worth having a go at trying other other filaments but iv found you really cant beat good quality PLA when its printed correctly,, its hard so its good for gears and moving parts It prints like a dream compered to other filaments,,, and it doesn’t destroy the planet,,, I’v been R&D on 3d printers full-time for about 4 years now, mainly on d…[Read more]
CollorFabb PLA is good material anyway. XT can handle a higher temp when it’s printed, this part is a positive thing if InMoof stays for a long day in sunlight. So maybe I will use XT for some outside parts and all others with PLA 🙂

Hi Gael, today arrived Nervo Board. Amazing speed, thank you 🙂 otherwise InMoov is a great project, and even if I work slowly (it\’s in the long run), I hope it is me with your sites manage to complete. Once again, great job. Jan
Great to hear that Jan. I do the shipping mainly on Mondays, you happened to have ordered just before I did the packages. 🙂 InMoov is a long term project, so take your time and patience along.

We have been building our InMoov in NH for a few months now. Decided it was finally time to post a picture. Hoping to have the whole InMoov built in the next two months.
We have also done some work to integrate InMoov with Amazon Echo (See the video – WARNING the robot gives the middle finger…will post a better video once I get some…[Read more]
Cool,,, Nice finger speed (no pun intended), I was worried about the movement speed of inmove because the videos iv seen him in he is moving very slow,, this is good to know he can do rapid movements
Ehehe, cool. I wanted to buy an Amazon Echo to test the capabilities of their microphone. I wonder if it still listens correctly when all the servos are buzzing.
Good question. We’re almost done with torso. Once we get that finished up – I’ll test it out. I use Echo for my smart light bulbs and it works great even with a lot of background noise.
Thanks for your reply, Servo buzzing is a noise that is in range of voice intonations from what some sound engineer explained. The result can be desastrous on voice recognition system, because the system actually interprets it as somobody speaking. Pretty odd isn’t it !
Mindless posted an update 9 years, 2 months ago
Hi guy and girls ,, here is a 4 Part Skull and 4 Part Internal Supporting Structure,,,Surprisingly a lot of work to put Inmoov back together,, Largest exterior surface alignment error was 0.3mm during mating process of the smaller sections, the leading edges were removed then hand stitched back together,,the forehead needed a little bit of work to…[Read more]
Great work. I used your previous version on my head. Really liked the streamlined look. Will you post thes files up?
Yep,, will post the files when i am happy with the finished results (just about there),,, had to do some touch up work last night on the “eye_glass” so the Mounting system for eyes moves a bit more freely…. Will post a pic in my album when finished,,
Great Mindless! Just for info, there is some parts already available in the InMoov derivative collection, but I’m sure you must have seen them already.
Perry posted an update 9 years, 2 months ago
Seeing Marten’s great work I am rebuilding my forearms as well. Similar concept except I am trying to preserve as much of Gael’s design as possible. Works with his servo holder and standard servos. I had to hollow out RotaWrist1V4 so now there is a straight path for the tendons. The wrist drive is not offset so a straight shaft drives the wrist.…[Read more]
Hi Perry,
It’s nice to see your idea about this. I think I will see your complete setup tomorrow, I hope it works well and I can’t wait to see a video !
Keep up the good work 😉
We don’t all work as fast as you 🙂
Cool design Perry, this is nice to give room for the tendons to run straight out from the wrist to the Servobed.
Thanks Gael, I a trying to adopt some of your design practices to make parts robust and cleanly exported. I have stopped putting a radius on everything (just because they are easy and look cool). I am starting to see the beauty of a simple to work with STL that can be modified by others. A little more function over form. The simple little parts…[Read more]
The new printed shaft fits well and it looks that it can handle the rotation.
Nice. I am printing up my version now. See my post above.
This is certainly getting along well !! Following your progress from close by, Marten!
So, the new hexagonal shaft / Small_Gear and Servo_adapter files are uploaded 🙂 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1824042 I will test this soon and will share a video later this week.
Thanx Marteen you are very fast, Great
Haha 🙂 If the time is there, it can be go fast 😉
How about you, any progress with your “Right” hand ?
slow but sure, when I finish it , you will know, Marten 🙂

Quick and simple demo of full body animation using a wireless x-y pendant. Lots of changes and stuff to share. I’ll refilm it later on this week when I have the next set of changes complete (with less noise and a clean desk)

Looks great. This is a good inspiration
Fantastic Alan… Best realistic movements so far, hands down!… I am working on a new inMoov which I am also planning some sophisticated movement management…
Did you create your own custom ROS package for this? I still use ez robot but would love to move up to ROS as it looks like much more can be done with ROS than either ez robot or MyRobotLab… I dabbled with ROS a while back so maybe it’s about time I have another look…
Hey Richard, thanks!
Each toolkit has it’s own benefits. There’s a nice community built up around InMoov+MRL, so it’s a great way to get started without writing everything from scratch. Another R.S.S.C. club member is building an InMoov using EzRobot, and I think there are some others on the forum as well.
I went with ROS because I wanted to…[Read more]
That’s awesome Alan… Thanks
Great work, superb work full of fluidity,. Gestures follow like water in a river. Friendly Sy.
Looks great!
A very late comment to your great work using ROS in conjonction with InMoov. I had shared your great video on my Google+ page right after you posted it. Thanks for your video, I really enjoyed looking at InMoov moving so gracefully.
Hi Alan Just made first steps with ROS and found the github-links. So I have inmoov_model-master.zip and inmoov_ros-master.zip Can you point me to a tuto where to place the files and probably even make it run?
Hey Juerg, Firstly, follow all the tutorials to install and set up ROS. Then, you should be able to follow the README.md from here: https://github.com/alansrobotlab/inmoov_ros/tree/master
After you get everything set up, you’ll most likely want to run the urdf model in rviz, using this command: roslaunch inmoov_description display.launch…[Read more]
Thanks Alan Started the beginners tutorial and had a look at your linked tuto. As I just recently installed ROS I got the kinetic version. Looks like I have to wait for a fitting Moveit version. But as the package looks rather big and complex I will anyway need to work myself through all the tutorials first.
Yep, I have a new SSD with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and ROS Kinetic waiting for MoveIt to be released. They’re very close to their first release. Until then, you will have some time to familiarize yourself with the core ROS concepts, go through the tutorials, and control the urdf model in rviz.
If you haven’t found it already, Jason has published his…[Read more]
Hi Allen Spent some time to try to make inmoov run with kinetic . Found a few issues with scripts (renamed .py file, missing include vector, boost shortcomings but was finally able to run setup_parameters.py As I run unbunto on my PC in a VirtualBox I assume it is correct that the servobus.launch complains about missing ports. trying to run rviz…[Read more]
Hey juerg,
I haven’t moved everything to ROS Kinetic yet, but I’ll keep an eye out for the issues you’ve shared.
Unfortunately, the glue code in the ROS stack that I’ve published will only work with my robot, but it is a great starting point to integrate ROS into your bot.
You should be able to run the urdf model in rviz, then write python…[Read more]
Nice work Alan,
Any idea when you will be releasing the demo? I’d love to try it out

Las 2 primeras partes impresas al 100%
Hey that is great! When you posted the picture of yourself on the community, I was not sure if you were real or a spammer..
Hi Gael!!!! No! Im a real person, Im Doctor, Aesthetic Doctor, but Im very interested in build my InMoov, with my partner, he is Mecatronic Enginering. Now Im go slowly with the printing, because my 3D printer don´t work well. Sorry for my worst english Greats frome México!
Aún en la impresión…
Instead of a DogBone shaft, I’ve designed a new small Wrist_Gear and servo-adapter and will use a 6mm hexagonal shaft. I hope the 6mm hexagonal shaft is strong enough 🙂 Tomorrow I will print all parts and if it works fine, I will include these parts to the Wrist upgrade set @ Thingiverse.
Great, infill 90% surely will give it enough strength
Almost done with my design. Just waiting for filament to arrive in the mail so I can print. My design will use many of Gael’s original servo bed and has a printable shaft. HAd to spend a fair amount of time hollowing out the arm and wrist parts but there is a straight run for all the tendons now.
Hi Rodolfo and Perry,
@linuxrodo Yeh, I think it’s fine 🙂 Just started to print all the parts.
@perry-scartozzi I can’t wait to see your idea 🙂 Which program(s) are you using, during re-editing Gaël’s STL files ?
I am using Solidworks. I explained to Gael below in my thread about my back cover how I modify the STL files.
Thanks Perry, To share your info about that ! 🙂
Almost done with all the parts. Only missing the small Wrist gear.
The shaft and servo adapter feels good enough for me. I hope the length from the shaft is OK 🙂 If yes, I will upload all parts to Thingiverse in 30 minutes 😉
All new files are uploaded: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1824042
