We are building it for an exhibit at a local science museum – Done with the printing and mechanicals in about 90 days – Onto programming … Thanks Gael for a great design and making it available!
This is very promissing. Just for info InMoov is supposed to be between 1.75 to 1.80 meter tall. You seem to have it correct!

and the full forearm – still to be assembled…
Beautifull
Productive weekend! I finalized the wrist. have all servos in place, and started assembling the hand. It is stronger than what I was imagining! InMoov will be my bodyguard…
btw – I tried different techniques to assemble ServoPulley and the cleanest if you have the tool is to rivet pieces together (top servos)
Awesome! Oh yeah riveting must be a good and strong option! You don’t plan to fix tendons like in the tutorial?

Initializing a project using a Graber i3 3D printer, ABS and Nylon filament (ABS to the cover parts, nylon to the gear parts).
Nice, nylon for the gears and splines should work a treat.
Good initiative, nylon printing is very good for all the gears and wormgears. I tested some Nylon printed piston in the bicep for a while and it was pretty smooth and strong.

Olá Wzj não entendi a sua pergunta. Mas estou com dificuldades em adquirir os motores pois sou do Brasil e taxas de importações são altos.
Very nice progress Flavio. Which parts are difficult to gather in Brazil? The servos?
Olá Gael tudo bem, Eu trabalho no SENAI como professor e estou imprimindo o Inmoov para apresentar na escola para os alunos. Estou imprimindo agora o lado esquerdo e o estomago.

Bravo to Gaël and InMoov for their joint talk at TEDx tonight. Brilliant and exciting!
where i can see the video of Ted for inmoov?
Hey!! Jean Senellart was I looking at you during the TEDx? 🙂 @wzj the video hasn’t been released yet. The TEDx team of Polytechnique needs to do some processing on it before release. This might take a week or two.
yes right at me and at … the 400 other attendees 😉 !
it was 800 attendees, said the TED team, but I didn’t count though…

Sorry but can you point out where you remix? i saw it’s the same with origin one?
Nice beefier parts Alan. You sure have a nice software to present the models. 🙂

I am thinking if i can use this module to make a more control-able hand and finger…
This is a bit cryptic. What and in which way should this device enhance the finger? Torque? Speed? Position feedback? Make? Costs? Wheight? Where to place it? How to control it?

Robyn Inmoov wonderful life
Finally robots will ask for vacation time???? Nice setup – how can I book it for myself?
Ehehe, once again Robyn is enjoying life for our own pleasure! Always makes me laugh a lot! Thanks for keeping up the cool videos.

Hello to the Inmoov Community and a special hello to Gael Langevin.
Your work is absolutely fantastic. As a teacher of Systems Engineering in Australia this robot gives my students an opportunity to build a product that is inspiring, engaging, many learning opportunities and is innovative in our education system.

Hello George, I’m glad to see teachers like you getting into the process of teaching /learning robotics to students of this age. Many teachers I have meet enjoy the fact that it is also a learning process for themselves as well ! Isn’t that the way education can change? In France teachers are supposed to have all knowledge about their subject, but…[Read more]
A few more tweaks to my bicep remix, the parts are going on the printer today. This remix beefs up the bicep frames to 10mm.
Has anyone considered how much weight is being carried by the tiny little screw down the centre of the servo drive shaft that holds the horn onto the shaft? How big is on those servos, 1.5-2mm, 3 maybe?
Ya know, it’s an interesting question, and I don’t know what shear point is for the 2.5mm machine screw used. But in all cases where I’ve broken something, the plastic snaps well before the screw does. I’ve never had a problem with the servo horn set screw.
Not just the screw but the little thickness of the plastic horn under the head of the screw also.
Until now, 3 years of demos, I didn’t see issues with the horn part at screw level. Because I printed my parts in ABS with a 3 shell perimeter I never broke any of my bicep parts besides the early pistons which had a smaller diameter. So I’m guessing this beefier remix is ready for combat! 🙂

mods for turnigy 1270HV 40kg
Let us know how this goes. I can’t seem to find if the turnigy 1270HV is analog or digital, I would need to search a little more and surely find the specs someplace. But I’m guessing this is going to suck up much more Amps from your supply. Better get a good 30 Amps+ supply for your built.

Awesome Flavio! You are really progressing! Thanks for this picture. Are you doing InMoov for yourself or for a student project?
which part of the robot body you fix with the long stick？

This may be a taboo subject, although does anyone have a count on total parts that need to be printed up to date? ( I realize the project is not \”complete\” )
Not sure anymore, but at one point I had designed 194 parts. I guess it would be good to re-count to get an update.
Hello Wally and hello all the community of InMoov. We made a basic count about the printing hours you need to create (more or less) all the Robot, at 70 mm/sec and with a good quality printing (2/3 shells, 20% infill). Maybe could be useful for all. Sorry it’s in italian but I think the meaning could be clear.

Tired of soldering?
Maybe you want to have a look at my solution: http://snaptip.com/ro15mqorh8/soldering-vs-crimping
Hi Juerg. That looks really good. I ordered a set of 100 male+female 3-pin connectors based on your suggestion. I think that will be enough for the whole build 🙂
Hey nice MAKER suggestion, I bet it is going to help more than one builder. Thanks for sharing.
A little bit more autonomy? I have created a MRL-script (python) that includes the kinematic facts of InMoov, reads the current servo positions and calculates the head and palms x,y,z positions from it. Based on this the rothead and neck positions are calculated to have the eyes point to the hand by simply using lookatHand(“left”) or…[Read more]

Great! One suggestion though, InMoov is much slower with 5V than with 6V. I think you would really benefit of more speed with two DC-DC converters from your 12V to 6V. Are you using the Raspi2 for post processing or did you a system on it with MRL on it? My tests were too slow for video fps with the Raspi2. Couldn’t do good Face tracking. But it…[Read more]

I suggest if the head left-right rotate servo can modify to use a normal servo , without Hitch805BB, because i think we don\’t need such a 25kg power to make the head turn left/ right
I don’t know how to modify the .stl file, else i want to try myself…. anyone knows if i should modify the .stl file directly or how i can do ?
To modify stl files, I do that with Blender using import / export stl function in the file menu
I have made that type of modification. You can find the files here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:992918
Hi wzj, Yes check the InMoov derivative collection, there is plenty of modifications using smaller servo for the head rotation.

Hey I just fused under Blender my recent modified TopMouth and LowBack. Rotated at 45° on the Z axe and they actually still fit in the correct 12cm3 build area !!
So now TopMouth and LowBack are permanently fused on the InMoov website. and can be screwed instead of being glued. Make sure to get the V3 version on InMoov.fr. I didn’t update my…[Read more]
This is awesome! The 2 topmouth pieces have always been kind of a pain to work with, so that will help alot.
Yes indeed, I also did a reprint with fused topmouth after coming back from India, the head had been damaged in the suitcase during flight travel. It is much easier to assemble now.
Now i adding the control elec part which buy from internet STM32 control board, ARM control board…, and the webcam also, for the webcam have the sdk that i can use to integrate image and sound into my Android control software 🙂 and @Geal, can i take my robot to join the china 2016 makefair show?
Great!! When is the Makerfaire in China and where? Let me know because we might organise something for this year’s Shenzen Makerfaire if time is okay. Hey isn’t the camera board a bit too big to get the eyes moving? Or will you dismantle the board to keep only the lens in the eye place?
1)Well, i look for the official website, but it still not says when and where is the shenzhen 2016 show, i will tell you as soon as possible when i get the latest news 2)Yes… the camera board is big, because it have wifi on it, in fact i take apart the cover of webcam and use it’s pcba board only.

Hello Reece, Very clean remodeling! Did you try to print them to see how the parts fit and hold together, once the the 0,3mm gap is added?
Hi Gael, I made some test dove tails and they went together very nicely. I did find that there was some flexing/distortion so I’m adjusting. Was there an engineering reason for that style of dove tail?

It seems very good Reece! I wonder if OnShape can open the more sculptured shapes like the for arms cover?
I think that a function called “loft” would be the tool for the task. It would involve sketching the profiles at various points along the arm then lofting through them. I have been using the plates from the torso as templates to “extrude” new parts. This has then allowed me to align the various openings and made these uniform in size. With…[Read more]
Well it took me a while but it is done!
New builders will have a lot more fun to assemble the skull now. I have set screw and bolts holders in various parts to make the last fit much easier. You can use 3mm screws and bolts to attach the parts together. I modified: -TopMouth -SideHear -LowBack
Ahhh, great, I had started to add flabs n stuff to keep them from falling apart.

nice work what is this servo motor?
Thank you amby! This is turnigy 1270HV 40kg servo. With some mods it can fit perfect.
Hello Aggelos, What are the mods you had to do to fit in the turnigy 1270HV 40kg? Some builders have a hard time to gather the Hitec 805bb, if the mods are minor, I could add this servo in the alternative servo list.
This looks great and seems to run really well. I’ve become concerned about the application of servos this way. Have any had the drive shaft get pulled out of the servo in these linear actuator applications? What about the place where the little screw holds the servo horn onto the splined shaft, any failed there?
@Reece, mine has been running for nearly three years now and the servos are still doing fine. The only thing that happens sometimes, the small screw that holds the horn wheel to the servo shaft gets loose, I bet using some blue Loctite component would solve the problem, but I never bought some to test.
That’s great, It was something that started bothering me the more I thought about it. I expect that for the service duty this is being put to that these are not a concern. I expect I’ve been among big machinery too long and with the self teaching over the years I’ve probably over analyzed this.
Mr. Gael sorry for late answer but first my school and then my inmoov, as my daddy said. The mods need to change some pieces. My dad make new stls and i print them. I will post photos of them.

I broke my stand holder when I put the torso in a pipe. So, I redesigned with OpenScad the Gael’ stand holder and I made it customizable.

Hello Alberto, Good idea to make customizable with Openscad!!! I have added it to the InMoov collection. http://www.thingiverse.com/Gael_Langevin/collections/inmoov-parts-and-derivatives
Great to make it configurable! I have created some adjustable servo holders and are tempted by your entry to make them configurable too. Some limitations I read and maybe more work if I can’t reuse the original part. I will give it a try however.
