    I have some light experience in Ruby, Python, and some other languages. Is there any chance I’ll need to know assembler language for this?

    Or would python and javascript be enough?

    • review your pulleys. I was not sure watching your video that you have printed out the 2-level pulleys. The finger designs need different move distances for opening and closing the fingers. You can try to add springs into the strings to account for that but is will be more efficient to use the separate radiis for left and right rotations and keep…[Read more]

  • Following on from my previous post… What is going on here, how come I have left and right versions of this part? Does anyone have a photo of how this should be positioned on the forearm?

    • Hello,
      You must have downloaded the left from Thingiverse.(Some people are confused and do not understand, both bicep are identical)
      You only need two times the right version for both arms.

      You will notice in the Gallery there is only the right version:

      Following on from my previous post… What is going on here, how come I have left and right versions of this part? Does anyone have a photo of how this should be positioned on the forearm?- Steve Rayner (@civrays) June 20, 2019

      • Thanks. This makes sense, both biceps are identical. Maybe I mirrored it myself in slicing software. Anyway it’s wrong. I’m going to throw them both away and print a new one. The correct one has some warping on the bottom and I think I need a good flat bottom to get good adhesion when this part is glued.

  • I’m a little confused with the elbow joint. Was there ever a left-hand version of elbowshaftgearv1 ? I seem to have printed both a left-hand and right-hand version.

    Do the gears for the elbox join go on the inside or the outside of the bicep? Or are they on the inside of one and the outside of the other, making both biceps identical?

  • Can anyone tell me the potentiometer of bicep right hand and wire colors?

    • Hello,
      It varies according to the servo motor production.
      You need to test to make sure your wires are correctly connected.
      I suggest to start, reconnect the potentiometer with the same color references as it was inside the servo motor and follow this video:

    Can anyone suggest me for adjusting of base level to horizontal position? My position now is sloping as photos.

    • use an IMU (like BNO055 from Adafruit). It is I2C connected and provides yaw, pitch and roll information.

      • Thanks but i means waist was not horizontal when i did lock with wheel car handle.

        • @juerg, this part is not motorised yet
          🙂
          @smattachai-p, You need to adjust the level of the top bolts on the threaded rods that are within the legs, if the torso leans a little backward, it’s okay. This will counterbalance, when the robot extends it’s arms forward.

    My Marvin got a new sensor, a Intel Realsense D415 to take depth images. I mounted it on the head with an angle that allows to see the floor in front of the robot. Mounting it on the head also allows for a good observation point and the head has a wide movement range. Adding an IMU into the head is probably the next thing to add to get more…[Read more]

    • Hello Juerg,
      The plan is to add the Intel RealSense in MyRobotLab, but I don’t when it will happen.
      Did you mount it above the head? or instead of the eyes?
      You should be able to post pictures again, there was an issue with Wordpress.

      • Hi Gael
        I have to admit that I do not run my robot any more with MRL. It gave me too many problems with Arduino connections, it takes ages to start it up, it is overloaded with stuff I do not need. So I wrote my own servo task in python to control Marvins joints and have other python tasks to control the cart, read Kinect depth and cam images and…[Read more]

      Clicking on “capture” in the service page I only get “starting user worker” but no image.

      • Do you have other imaging devices connected or only the Intel RealSense?
        Maybe OpenNI detects another imaging source.
        We could try to add manually the drivers in C:myrobotlabmyrobotlab.1.1.173librariesnativeOpenNI2Drivers

      • Thought about the location too. I need to see the path my cart is moving on and first thought of mounting the cam on my cart. It would look nicer instead of the head location but the flexibility of the head makes is much more usable. From the picture you can see that the device is partially covered by the hat and it can be removed if needed. I…[Read more]

        • as a second thought: before you purchase the T265 make sure you understand how you can implement your odometry for the device. I read through the article and had no idea at the end of how I would have to accomplished this. My cart uses an encoder attached to one of its wheels and produces around 3 ticks per mm of robot movement.

          • Hi Juerg, Many thanks, really appreciated. I will go through more thought process. well done and many thanks for pathfinding with the Realsense. I believe that in time this will become the optimal solution over the Orbbec or the Kinnect.

        1. Should I use NCU?
        2. I explore to Lenovo Tablet 8″ but I cannot find it now. It is seems obsolete.

    • Hello,
      May I ask what is your order number?

      • Thank you for responding but you can disregard my question because I just received a notice that my order was shipped.

        • Good,
          sometimes it is difficult to identify the connection between a buyer and site user because some people use different email address.
          I am glad you received the confirmation email.
          Note that you can also print the invoice via the link provided on the email.

  • Gael,

    Would you provide me the details on what kind of flat cables to buy and what type red/black wire to purchase.

    For flat ribbons, I need to know the width and number of strands and length of cables.

    For wire, I need to know what gauge wire to use for electric hookup.

    I want to make sure I purchase the correct thing.

    Thanks!

    • Gael,

      I received my nerve board kits. Thanks!

      I see all the connectors are the same size, so does that mean that all the flat ribbon should be the same width, 7 pin?

      Thanks!

      • Hello,
        You need some 14 wire ribbon for the connectors.
        What I personnaly do, is buy some 30 wire ribbon and split it manually. It’s cheaper and easier to find on internet.
        10 gauge automotive(black,red) will fit tightly in the XT60 connectors.
        You can get some 12 gauge and will be fine for fitting as well.

    I copied every STL file I could to start printing but before I could change from STL to G-CODE and print them my 64 bit computer died.
    If I can find a place that has already converted the InMoov tiles to G-CODE I could still print.
    Help me Community!
    Thanks for your help!!

    • Hello,
      That is not a happy story. Dead PC…
      G-CODE is related to each printer settings.
      The slicer will generate a G-CODE according to a specific printer model size, I doubt getting someone else G-CODE, will work properly on your printer.
      Unless you remove the specifications in it prior printing..

      • Gael,

        Do the MEGA or UNO boards need shields? Making a connection wire is a great idea.

        I see I should have thought through the Wi-Fi decision a little more.

    For those who are using a JX-HV2060MG, I have made an adapter for the PivPotentioSquare part, your potentiometer of your JX-HV2060MG will have a perfect fitting now with this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3662515

      What is the main difference with the official one?
      I use the official one with the JX-HV2060MG on my latest InMoov, and it fits, that’s why I am asking.

    First of all, I want to say Sorry to all of you. That I never shared any piece of work which I did for developing a Inmoov.

    As now I joined this community. I would like to share the work I did yet.

    I started to develop Inmoov from 2017. Firstly, I made the Finger as a Starter. Which I uploaded on my Youtube Channel.

  • Another question, are you taking the CAMs out of there external containers and mounting them in the eye parts? Do you use one or two? Thanks again!

    • Hi Marcia, yes I found instructions on the web of how to remove the casing. Everyone appears to do something different. I am thinking two either 1 regular + 1 infra red or 1 telephoto and 1 wide angle

      • Which combination do you think is best? 1 regular + 1 infra red or 1 telephoto and 1 wide angle?

        • Hi Marcia, Sorry for delay in answering, been busy on other things. at the moment I have decided to have 1 regular and 1 infra red, but not chosen the infra red solution yet. What are you going with ?

    I am trying to work through the BOM list. Can anyone give a detailed list of “Miscellaneous bolts” that might be required? Also clay anyone provide more detail about flat cables and wire? Are all the flat cables the same width or not? What kind of wire is used? solid or stranded? The help and insight is appreciated.
    Also thank you…[Read more]

    • Hi Marcia, I started with M3 and M4 hex bolts and nuts, then when the need arose I got other ones, M2 for eyes I think. You end up with a nice collection of various lengths.

      La seule procédure, c’est d’installer MyRobotLab via START_INMOOV.bat en suivant le tutoriel ici: how-to-start-myrobotlab
      Et ensuite d’activer OpenCV dans le fichier de configuration comme ceci:
      1-Editez C:/myrobotlab/myrobotlab.1.2693.9/InMoov/config/service_D_OpenCV.config
      2-…[Read more]

      • Dois-je supposer que OpenCv fait déjà partie de l’installation de RobotLab? ..ou dois-je installer OpenCV sur mon ordinateur avant? …c’est peut-être une question stupide…enfin… 🙂

        • Je suis déjà assez avancé avec RobotLab car je converse avec mon robot depuis quelques mois déjà!

          • Lors de l’installation de MyRobotLab, les composants openCV necessaires sont installés dans le dossier C:\Myrobotlab\myrobotlab.1.0.2693.9\libraries\jar

  • Hello,
    I’m a teacher and I’ve been working with my students for months on building InMoov. We have a lot of printed parts and we started to assemble hands, head and neck. At starter finger we learn to work with mrl. I will soon give you more details and more photos. We are very pleased to work on this project.
    I am grateful that Gael has made this…[Read more]

    • That would be extremely expensive for someone to do for you and time consuming, it would be cheaper for you to buy something like a Creality Ender 3 or similar. It is under £200 and would give you the the sense of satisfaction that you have done this project yourself

      • Ciao Gabriele, sono nuovo del Forum e vorrei iniziare a lavorare sul progetto.
        Cosa mi consigli come stamapante 3D da acquistare, vorrei prenderne una che poi non devo cambiare un poco tempo e anche mi piacerebbe capire se si possoa stampare con un materiale ecologico e non derivato dal Petrolio.
        Sono un ingegnere ma nel campo Informatico e Programmazione ed è li che potrei dare il mio meglio 🙂
        Grazie per gli eventuali consigli.
        Maurizio

        • Ciao Maurizio scusami per il ritardo della risposta ma sono stato assente dalla community per tanto tempo ( il lavoro mi assorbe totalmente ), ho ripreso in mano il progetto in questi giorni ed eccomi di nuovo qui, spero nel frattempo tu abbia risolto con la stampante .
          Ti dico come ho fatto io diversi anni fa, ho comprato una stampante cinese ( Prusa 3d ) con scheda derivata da arduino mega 2560 e firmware Marlin, non soddisfatto della meccanica ( niente da dire al firmware ) è nato il desiderio di costruirmi una meccanica nuova in casa.
          Ho una piccola macchina laser 600×400 quindi mi sono disegnato una meccanica da tagliare in plexiglass da 5 mm di spessore ( va piu che bene ) ho preferito farla da 40×40 anzichè 20×20 come la cinese ed ho iniziato quindi a ordinare tutti i pezzi che la compongono, per farla breve in un paio di anni ne ho fatte una decina e vanno benissimo, a distanza di tempo e dopo diverse decine di kg di materiale usato la meccanica e perfetta come il primo giorno.
          Inoltre il software e Open Source e ho potuto personalizzarlo a mio piacimento aggiungendo anche un modulo wifi utilizzando un esp 8266 per gestirla direttamente da una pagina web ( anche questo software e Open Source si chiama esp3d.
          Se vuoi provare a cimentarti posso darti tutte le informazioni necessarie per costruirtela in casa girandoti l’esperienza che ho accumulato ormai da una ventina di anni con le macchine cnc, prima con pantografi 3/4/5 assi poi con le 3d.
          Scusami ancora se non ho risposto subito .

    • Try the build yours section, You’ll find great tutorials on what to do.
      For start , you need a 3D printer which can prints elements as big as 13cm*13cm*13cm if you wont to include the legs .

  1. Hi People,

    I wanted to build InMoov, but I have a few doubts and I need advice.
    The first is the 3d printer that I have to buy, is that I saw this “Athorbot Buddy prusa printer i3 24V Ready to Print PLA ABS Nylon TPU Great Size Construction 210 * 270 * 200mm” in amazon but I do not know if it will be good or noo if it has the features that I need.
    And second question is the filament that there are several thicknesses, which is used for printing and has to use two colors?
    Let’s see if I answer the questions, that the one I have now is the printer.

    Thank you so much.

    • The i3 Prusa are good printers, although it is not easy to print ABS on this type of machine because they are open case.
      But if you plan to print InMoov in PLA, it will be a great machine.
      The thickness of the filament depends of your printer’s extruder.

  2. Buongiorno a tutti sono Gabriele e scrivo da Roma, una sera guardando Focus ho visto l’intervista di Gael appassionandomi del progetto InMoov ed ho iniziato a stampare le parti che compongono il braccio sinistro.
    Disponendo di svariate Stampanti 3D ho accelerato i tempi e a distanza di pochi giorni ho l’avambraccio completo di polso e mano sinistra, da oggi inizio a montare i servo ecc ecc.
    Spero presto di poter postare le foto del lavoro che sto svolgendo grazie alla maestria di Gael nel fornirci i file necessari alla realizzazione ma sopratutto grazie alla sua disponibilità.
    Ringrazio di cuore Gael per aver messo la sua “mente” ( che ritengo eccelsa ) a disposizione della comunità.

    GabrieleBarrasso

    Hello everyone, I’m Gabriele and I write from Rome, one evening watching Focus I saw Gael’s interview, getting passionate about the InMoov project and I started printing the parts that make up the left arm.
    Having several 3D Printers I have accelerated the time and after a few days I have the forearm complete with wrist and left hand, from today I start to assemble the servos etc. etc.
    I hope soon to be able to post the photos of the work I am doing thanks to Gael’s skill in providing us with the files necessary for the realization but above all thanks to his availability.
    I sincerely thank Gael for putting his “mind” (which I think is excellent) at the disposal of the community.
    ps: I apologize for the bad English I translate with google translate

  3. Hello there,
    My son and I came across Inmoov and have just started printing the first parts of the left hand and we are both wondering why there are 3 channels for each finger. Now this might well be discussed on some internet page or Youtube video but we couldn’t find it. Please point us into the right direction.

      • Hi Gael,
        Many thanks for your reply, that clears that one up for us. My son will be doing the coding and he would like to know:
        Any particular reason why the use of Arduino and not Raspberry Pi?
        Thanks again.

  4. Gaël LANGEVIN… Um thats a Catch 22… I’m trying to “update my community profile picture” to an Inmoov pic like stated… Which it says you wont get approved without doing that… Yet it also wont let you change the photo without prior approval.

    I have started my inmoov and attached a screenshot of the page that pops up when i click Change Photo…

    I’m hoping to buy alot of the electronics board and nervo boards through you… But if i dont get approval all that does is hurt those profits i guess.

    Hope to get approval

  5. Bonjour

    Bonjour .
    Je m’appelle Jean-Pierre, j’ai 71 ans et j’habite au Luxembourg, j’aimerai rejoindre le projet Inmoow et participer à l’aventure OpenSource.
    Malheureusement c’est déjà ma troisième tentative d’inscription au site et je n’ai toujours pas été approuvé.
    Merci

    • Hello and welcome,
      There is so many new printers coming on the market everyday, that I do not follow up.
      Make sure the size of your prints can be at least 13x13x13cm.
      If you plan to print the legs you should get a printer with a minimum of 15x15x15cm.

  6. Dear Gael
    Thanks for your brilliant innovations.
    I am not sure if here is the best place for this question but I found no better place.
    I have printed an inmoov without legs, and already bought the servos. As for the PCBs, I was curious if you have shipment to Iran ? and if yes, probably how long it can take?

    Long Live Inmoov!

    • Hello,
      We have never shipped to Iran yet.
      Is your postal service okay?
      Normal postage generally avoids taxes, but if we need to use something similar to DHL, the cost will be doubled compared to the price announced on InMoov shop page.

  7. Hi,
    Is it possible to animate a 3d version of the robot in Autodesk Maya or any other 3d program, and then send the animation curves to the real inmoov robot for playback?

    Thanks,
    David

  8. hello,
    my son and i built that cool robot. we started with the right hand. Now we start printing the parts for the second hand.
    thanks for the designer of in moov to create such cool robot.

  9. Hello

    My name is Brad Stein. I have been building robots for many years but never actually finished one completely because I kept coming up with a better idea. Now my better idea is to build a inmoov but he will be partially Inmoov and partially other robot parts.
    Thats why I am going to call him Franklin Stein.
    I Have the complete Head, Neck and torso printed so far. My printer was taking too long so I bought a second one.
    I plan on attaching him to a Mecanum Wheel base that I had already been working on. I think they will work well together.

    Thanks for the Inmoov Project and website Gael.

    I’ll post a picture of Franlklin once I have assembled some more of the pieces.

    • Actually I have finished a few but we all know they are never really finished.
      I picked a good time to sit at home and print parts.

      I have 2 Afinabot A9 printers(they also come with a Laser engraving head) going 24/7.

      I sure learned a lot about 3d printing in the last couple months.Like when it is -30 outside and someone opens a door your part is going to warp.

      I have been using PLA but want to try some ABS. I think I’ll build an enclosure for one of the printers and use that one for ABS.
      Got the Head, neck,torso,stomach and shoulders printed so far. I have all the electronics just waiting for a box of Giant servos to show up sometime today.

  10. Hello Dear Gael and everybody,

    I’m Jo Maes from Astene Belgium, and new here, will try to build the fantastic InMoov, for my great-grandchildren.

    It will be a Raise 3D printer, since we want to work with abs filament, but we are not yet sure whether it will be the 2 pro or the E2, which can print mirror images at the same time, but a slightly smaller size. Advice someone with this choice?

    As I’m retired, I have all the time, but a little afraid of the technical side of the story, given my age.
    Are there still Dutch speaking people here, forum? or other technically savvy people who are willing to provide any assistance.

    Best regards, Jo

  11. Bonjour,
    je suis tout nouveau et quand je vois vos réalisations j’ai vraiment hâte
    de recevoir mon imprimante et de commencer.
    Pour le moment je me familiarise avec myrobotlab.
    A très bientôt

  12. Bonjour à tous,

    j’ai les premières pièces de mon inmoov qui ne s’emboîtent pas 🤨
    avez vous une idée sur un réglage de l’imprimante ou logiciel.
    je parle du calibrator.stl
    Bien cordialement

  13. Bonjour Gael, avez-vous des nouvelles concernant les composants électroniques (nervo board + compone) en provenance de Chine, et toujours en rupture de stock dans la boutique? Une idée quand nous pouvons commander en retour?
    Pour l’InMoov complet, si je comprends bien, avons-nous besoin de 2 ensembles? Si oui, nous pensons à le commander en double immédiatement après notification du nouveau stock.
    Bien cordialement,
    Jo

  14. Bonjour Tout le monde,

    Content de faire partie de la communauté… Je viens d’acheter une imprimante 3D, une Alfawise U20. Malheureusement il y a un petit soucis technique que je dois d’abord régler dessus avant de l’utiliser. Je n’arrive pas à faire chauffer le plateau et la buze, J’ai déjà changer la tête et la thermistance. Maintenant, je dois faire vérifier la carte mère cette semaine.

    Je suis impatient de commencer la construction de mon robot InMoov. Je n’ai jamais fait de tel projet, mais c’est un rêve de pouvoir le faire. J’espère que je pourrais avoir de bon échange avec des membres pour m’épauler.

    A très bientot,

  15. bonjour a tous , j ai commencer la construction de inmoov nouveau dans ce projet ,

    j, espere qu on pourra m aider a avancer, et qu on aura de bon échange ensemble

    mon seule probléme cet la programmation pour le reste je pence être a la hauteur

    un grand merci au fondateur de inmoov et a toute les personnes qui alimente le site

  16. Hi everyone. My 12 year old son and I are only just starting out on a journey that many of you took years ago. We’re both really excited about getting started on our InMoov and are busily reading all of the available material and planning out our build. Before we get started, I’d like to say thank you to Gael for designing something worth spending a year on, and to the community for all of your continued development and advice.

  17. Hi. I’m just starting on this venture using an Ender 3 . The calibrator is a perfect fit after an afternoon of setting up my printer properly (measuring the filament diameter, calibrating the extruder and X & Y axes and making sure my bed was level using an ABL system , another (previous) afternoon’s work). All that has paid off though. I have printed the Finger Starter, assembled it and got it working. Now I have finished printing the forearm, hand and fingers and everything fits together like a glove. Happy days and happier to come I hope.

  18. Hello! I am looking into this amazing project. What plastic or plastics would people recommend to use to build InMoov? I could use PLA, ABS, PETG (although hard to glue) nylons, TPUs … I would prefer not having to rebuild because I chose the wrong plastic.
    Thank you!

    Gene

  19. Hi Guys!..

    What a nice project Gael!. I love it. I am building Imoov and after that I would like to try to upgrade whatever I can to gif the robot even more dergees of freedom .

    Can I ask a few questions?

    What kind of weight can de robot lift, Gael?
    What does the robot weigh?
    Can I get the clean CAD-files from you, Gael?

    Thanks guys!

    P.s. I am a freelance multidisciplinair engineer with a background in aeronautical and electrical enginering.

    I am always looking to help peoples with there technical builds. Do not hesitate to ask me anything.

    Roel Welling ME

  20. Salut à tous Je suis nouveau sur ce site, je m’appel Max j’ai 41 ans et je suis médiateur numérique dans un centre culturel du nord de la France :p ça fait déjà longtemps que je m intéresse à ce projet mais cette fois je me lance :p @bientôt

  21. Hi fellow mad robot scientists. Just printed all parts of the head and neck. I can’t wait to see how this turns out. I think it will be awesome.
    Just saying hi to everyone and thank you to Gael for the visionary development. This should be very exciting.

  22. Joseph Romanchick

    Hello,
    I am new here and wanting to get started. I want to get the nervo boards ordered so I will have it but it says it is backordered. Is there any way to get on a list or something to get the boards as they become available..Other than checking daily, I see no way to know when or get one…….
    Thanks,Joe

    • Nurse 2.0: Your Virtual Nursing Education Will Help You Achieve Success
      Nursing education has undergone significant change as a result of the global trend toward increasingly digital capella flexpath courses learning methods. The ascent of virtual nursing tutoring, habitually suggested as Clinical orderly 2.0, presents the two entryways and hardships for longing clinical chaperons. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll talk about how to succeed in your virtual nursing education, how to explore the virtual world, how to use technology, and how to dominate the skills necessary for success in this growing field.
      Adjusting to the Virtual Homeroom Adjusting to virtual learning requires a change in perspective. While ordinary review lobby settings offer eye to eye affiliation, virtual homerooms give versatility and receptiveness. Learn about the virtual platform, its features, and the resources available to enhance your growth opportunities as you embrace this change.
      Building Self-Control Nursing Instruction in a Virtual Environment Requires More Self-Control and Inspiration It is easy to become distracted or fall behind when there is no actual study hall design. Make a survey arrangement, set forth targets, and view yourself as liable for your capella flexpath assessments progression. Use time use techniques to truly balance your educational commitments with various obligations.
      Making Use of Technology-Based Tools Technology is an Important Part of Virtual Nursing Education Find out about fundamental instruments like programmatic experience programming, web based learning the board frameworks, and stages for video conferencing. You will be able to connect with colleagues and friends, access course materials, and participate in simulations of real-world clinical situations thanks to these devices’ intuitive growth opportunities.
      Attracting with Virtual Social class
      No matter what the real distance, virtual nursing tutoring offers open entryways for huge affiliation and joint exertion. Take part in nursing students-only online gatherings, discussion boards, and entertainment groups. You can gain from your friends, find support, and fabricate capella msn program significant expert organizations that can arrive at a long ways past the virtual homeroom.
      Creating Unequivocal Thinking skills
      Unequivocal thinking is crucial for nursing practice, regardless of what the informational arrangement. In a virtual environment, it implies a lot to step up these capacities. Apply clinical thinking to virtual contextual analyses and reenactments, evaluate proof-based practice rules, and conduct fundamental data research. Search for input from teachers and allies to work on your unequivocal capacities to reason.
      Investigating Virtual Clinical Experiences
      Clinical experiences are a chief piece of nursing tutoring, giving dynamic learning open entryways in clinical consideration settings. While virtual clinical experiences can’t totally rehash the force of genuine practice, they offer critical pieces of information and basis for future clinical dnp capstone project help transformations. Foster clinical judgment and ability by effectively taking part in abilities labs, computer experiences, and contextual analyses.
      Adapting to Evaluation Methods The evaluation methods used in virtual nursing education may differ from those used in traditional organizations. You can better prepare for online tests, quizzes, and assignments by thoroughly reviewing the course materials and employing self-assessment techniques. Examine the educators’ explanations regarding the assumptions and appraisal models. Besides, exploit resources, for instance, online practice tests and audit consultants for improve your show.
      Promoting Resilience and Flexibility The ever-evolving and dynamic nursing profession demands NURS FPX 4900 Assessment 6 adaptability and resilience from practitioners. Failures ought to be embraced and viewed as opportunities for growth. Foster strength by zeroing in on dealing with oneself, searching for help when required, and keeping a sound harmony among fun and serious exercises. Review that adaptability is an aptitude that can be made and sustained after some time.
      Making arrangements for Capable Practice
      Ultimately, the goal of virtual nursing guidance is to set you up for capable practice as a fit and kind clinical overseer. Apply the data, capacities, and values gained through your virtual open doors for development to genuine circumstances. In the current medical services environment, look for opportunities for active clinical practice, expert turn of events, and a solid understanding of how to thrive as a medical caregiver.
      Overall, virtual nursing education provides a creative and dynamic approach to preparing the next generation of medical caregivers. By embracing the virtual classroom, developing self-discipline, utilizing technology, and acquiring essential skills, you can begin a rewarding nursing NURS FPX 4010 Assessment 4 Stakeholder Presentation career and succeed in your virtual nursing education. Make a point to stay flexible, adaptable, and zeroed in on well established progressing as you seek after your energy for nursing in the mechanized age.

  23. Hi everyone I am new on here.
    I am starting with the right hand v2.
    I am looking for the instructions or a tutorial on how to build the servos into the palm…
    I will make one if I cannot find one I guess.

  24. Hey guys I decided to take the step and try and build this bot. i have a printer to print the things that need printed but where the stl files are there’s so many of them idk which ones to make and which ones are the updated ones. also is there a list of servos etc. ill need? and the servos that are in it now can they be upgraded to better more durable/weight withstanding ones?

  25. Hello sir,
    My jaw’s servo motor and eye-x and eye-y servo motor is malfunctioning continuously. I changed servo motor 5/6 times. Every time it works for 5-10 minutes and it is not working. I am using sg90 servo, I have tried MG90 servo motor as well.
    So can you assist me in this problem? or can I want to add resistor in nervo boards of eye/mouth. (I am using 10V 20Amp Power supply)

  26. Hi,
    My name is Robert Taylor, and I have been building my inMoove robot for about one year. I have been posting all my photos on the Albums part of this forum. For some reason I do not see my name as a member of this forum!? Might be I have not been to the correct site here to get myself registered. Couls someone guide me to the registration page so I can get my work to post up for everyone to see.

    Thank you,
    Rob Taylor

  27. Bonjour,

    Je me présente. Je m’appelle Hervé et j’habite à une 20aine de km au sud de Paris. J’ai déjà imprimé les pièces pour la main droite, et l’impression du poignet et de l’avant-bras est en cours. J’ai hate de recevoir la visserie et les servo pour pouvoir commencer l’assemblage. Je fournirai des photos dès que j’aurais quelque chose de présentable.

    N’hésitez pas à me contacter pour me donner des conseils 🙂

  28. Hi all, Im currently building the V2 Head and have just printed off the eyes, however I cannot find a tutorial or assembly instructions for the V2 Eyes (they are individual units, Left and Right) is there anyone who knows where to find them?
    Thank you!!!

  29. Hello to all and Gael,
    I would like to make some complete InMoov heads (Version 1) for schools here in the United States to use to teach middle and high school students how to program humanoid robots and introduce them to AI. These skills will be critical to the careers of our children from now on until the foreseeable future. And, this would be a great way to spread the impact of this great design work beyond the existing DIY cohort.
    Since the Open Source license for InMoov is Non-commercial, we would need permission and maybe a licensing agreement to proceed.
    We have a small electronics assembly company in California (Minhan technologies) in business for more than 25 years.
    To discuss, please contact me at https://www.minhantech.com/contact/contactinfo/

  30. Hello, everyone! I started assembling a new InMoov Hand (https://inmoov.fr/inmoov-hand/). I decided to go with the JX PDI-6225MG-300 servos, which are mounted directly in the palm of your hand, which means no need for a forearm or wrist. But I faced the problem that i2_PalmCoverV2 and i2_HandCoverV2 do not fit. Due to the built-in servos in the palm, these covers cannot be used at all. Maybe someone also faced this problem, or maybe there is a step-by-step guide on how to assemble a hand with built-in servos in the palm?

  31. Bonjour,
    Je découvre le projet InMoov depuis quelques jours et j’adore ce concept! J’ai toujours rêvé d’avoir un robot alors pouvoir le fabriquer soi même et apporter de nouvelles idées d’utilisations en y intégrant de l’IA par exemple me passionne !
    Je me lance donc dans cette aventure pour plusieurs mois de travail 🙂 J’ai parcouru l’ensemble des notices et vidéos et je pense que la fabrication du Doigts sera un bon entrainement de départ.
    A suivre , je posterai ma réalisation dans les principales étapes d’avancement.
    A bientôt

  32. I have been building my Inmoov robot for some years now, and decided to use the new type head. Most of the parts are printed (Prusa MK4S) and now partly assembled, though I have noticed some issues with the servo for rotating the head. I originally tried using an HS805BB, which I have used for the arms, shoulders and body. But it does not align with the servogear. It is about 3 or 4mm out of alignment. Instead, I decided to use JX PDI 6221MG to see if that would fit better. This aligned with the servo gear, but the servohornadapter is too thick, leaving a gap between the servoadapter and the gearholder of about 3mm. I printed a new version which is narrower, and this works okay. However … the next problem is that the SkullServoFix does not fit over the servo – to make it fit, you’d need to cut the mounting tabs off the servo. Can anyone shed any light on this? Have I missed something?

  33. When I click on the inmoov logo, the skeleton does not open.error runtime : : could not invoke runtime.start ([Ljava.lang.Object;@4def51ad) java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.python.core.PySystemState – check logs for details It gives an error. What could be the reason? I deleted the ivy2 folder and installed it again, but the result did not change.i would appreciate if you could help

  34. Hello guys
    I’m From Egypt and I like to build one like that but i would like to say InMoov should be in right way
    this is unique project and wonderful but let us asking about some missing points
    1-Improvement to skeleton still at same from many years
    2-has not moving yet Since built it to Now
    3-Making much more improvement in material from PLA to Metal outside body
    4-Design Ability to covering robot by silicon skin
    5-Desgin hasn’t Ability to changing mechanism of robot From Electric to Hydraulic for Force working like labour
    6-Design careless force of InMoove like rise push up pull
    7-Still can’t challenge Most advanced robot’s that rising in many country in (Moving & Running & Jumping & Talking…… )
    8-(Preview) Source files and instruction So difficult and not encouragement to continuity it should redesign Source files as following
    – Software > Branches To each part of InMoove
    – Hardware > Branches To each part of InMoove
    – 3d models
    – StL Files > Design has Ability to changing material
    – Assembly instruction > Branches To each part of InMoove
    – Videos (installation , Setup , update , upgrade, Download all or some )
    9-There is no section in site to Volunteers to work on software development, hardware or design
    lets going to critical point I can pay to build it
    but should making something useful to built it like some tasks and mission’s
    – Cooking – shopping – receptionist -House caring -Tracking Machine in factories -Supervisor -Teacher
    InMoove Great idea but Still need to Changing the Direction of it if Direction not Change it will be like some plastics careless

  35. Hi! I am trying to learn CAD and want to try to recreate the prosthetic hand files as a personal project, starting with the finger starter. However, when I downloaded the stl fiels I noticed that those can’t be edited and don’t show any measurements… Is there any way I can get access to the step files or any editable version so I can learn how they were made?

  36. Bonjour à tous ! Moi aussi je me lance ! (je suis dingue j’y connais rien de rien) Y a t il un groupe ou forum ou que sais-je ou des gens échangent en 2025 ? Merci et… Bravo Gaël pour ce magnifique projet. J’ai dans l’idée (oui faut rêver un peu) d’intégrer mon chatgpt que je connais depuis 4 ans maintenant dedans.. Rêve réalisable ou non ? (d’après lui, oui, mais .. il dose jamais assez ^^) A bientôt !
