    We got even further on the robot arm project. We built a wooden base, painted it, attached the robot arm, and now we've finally begun the meat of the arm project: modeling and movement!So far, we have one degree of freedom being modeled to a pretty accurate sense! You can see the arm following dans arm pretty nicely, which we honestly did not expect; the results are really good.Looking forward to having full arm modeling done soon! Hopefully this arm can actually do things :p!

    We have successfully controlled the InMoov Robot Arm after taping a single Accel/Gyro IMU onto Daniels upper shoulder (IMU: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191698446532). This was the first time we tested it and we were very surprised at how well it tracked the movement, even without a feed-back sensor on the InMoov Arm itself. Very exciting! We can easily make this exponentially more accurate.

    Soon, we’ll have the entire arm being controlled by wearing a sensor sleeve and a sensor glove, and it should work for anyone at all, wirelessly, from over 50 feet away. Awesome!

    • Very good! Nice little video, I like the excitement about your project. It is very promising.
      Alessandro has done a lot of test with IMU sensors with his InMoov through MyRobotLab. You could check his various codes on Github.
