Ehehe! Cool ! Long journey in perspective!! You might want to adjust the sucking back material setting in your slicer software to avoid the “hair” between the parts. It will help for further prints and quality.
I am using Repetier Host and Slic3r. Which settings should I be looking at? (not currently at laptop)
Definitely a calibration issue with your printer. Your printer must be extruding a little bit more than necessary or the X and Y axis aren’t adjusted which might deform slightly your shapes. Try printing a calibration cube and circle to make sure you have it correct otherwise you will spend hours filling all the parts.
I agree with Gael. On some of the other smaller pistons I made before I realized it was a calibration issue I took very fine grit sandpaper and wrapped it around the piston, gripped firmly and twisted to remove of the excess til it worked in the receiver perfectly. Then I use a heat gun to apply a little heat and repeat the process with cheap…[Read more]
Cool, we will be around on the forum if you have questions and if you feel like sharing your pics on the community you are more than welcome!
Welcome Pedro. Cheers from Las Vegas!
Great picture!! I jumped a few times on the community to see what was new but didn’t take the time to write anything, I was just too busy. But I want to say that your InMoov is looking very promising and I really like the pictures that you have posted on the 3d printing forum (french).
??? Ethem, is it you or a clone?
Yeah, I feel like the site is a dentist appendix.
If you have trouble, I may still have a complete script for InMoov ready to work on a Raspi.
Gael Langevin posted a new activity comment 9 years, 8 months ago
Great! Yeah InMoov with teeth, I had done vampire fangs for InMoov a long time ago, but never just normal teeth. Surprising, I would have expected to make it more awkward. it fits okay!
The slurry is almost totaly liquid. It’s hard to say how much percent of ABS and acetone. Maybe 20 to 30 percent of ABS for 100 acetone.
PS: removal of the slurry ABS on the glass after print is done, simply run under cold water tab and it will detach itself like magic. Dry the glass plate and you are ready to go again.
Awesome, post a video in action, it will be great to see the movements!
The new photos are now in the gallery Later i will paste the video Urls
Gael Langevin posted an update 9 years, 8 months ago
Printing another InMoov, because the original is going to stay home. It is a precious robot now! Having a second printer makes it fast, specially because I updated the firmware to Sailfish on the CTC printer. I used to print on Kapton with the ABS but finally got to print directly on glass which is giving a super result and surprisingly absolutely…[Read more]
Hi Gael – great info thank you.what is the consistency of the ABS slurry you use. your prints are look great.
Hi Gael I still think you should give HT-PLA a try and use a print plate that will not need any slurry or tape and allows to remove items by just picking them up from the cooled out print bed!
i am making inmoov right hand so can i get the Tensioner.stl file for it please i am not getting it anywhere can you please provide me the link of it
The tensioner is with the servobed in the galery…
InMoov body parts library :
Totally agree with Mats. Alessandro did great implementation of the Leap Motion and the MYO into MyRobotLab. When I made the scripts for the video above, it was a very difficult process to follow. Though my tutorial is still available in the \”build yours\” section.
Nice set of test prints! I have also tested nylon and carbon.
Thanks Gael, unfortunately it wasn’t really worth the work invested. I assume you found similar results with nylon and carbon?
Great video Markus! Always on the cutting edge! I recently tested the webkitrecognition during an event and got a bit frustrated with the delay for to get the responses from the server. When the wireless connection is poor, InMoov has to “think” for very long seconds, it can be up to 20 seconds which feels like an eternity on the front of the…[Read more]
Thanks! Yes that is a good idea.
Rocky is ready for chemical experiments!! Great job!
Thanks! We are working on the right arm/hand now, need to order servos and braided line….then on to the shoulder so we can connect to torso!
Gael Langevin posted a new activity comment 9 years, 9 months ago
Thanks Bob for the name \”U-joint\”, I couldn\’t grab it on internet. You are totally correct concerning good stomach movements for to be able to have human gait ressemblance.
The parts for this modification are on Thingiverse. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1409964
Ehehe!!
Ah of course!! Marvin has a great look! Only the eye pupils are too small and it makes him a bit scary. 🙂 You could use the same blue paint for to color the eye rings
My Marvin with blue eyes – what will keep the girls away?
Oh yeah and it smells really bad in my workshop…
i can t think it is possible and so so dangerous
Gael Langevin posted an update 9 years, 9 months ago
My printer is out of work for a moment… Gee what a smell, if you ever get your heated bed that burns out, you need to ventilate your workspace!! It took me a while to find a heated bed this size in Europe . 300x200mm. I finally ordered the PCB in Danemark.
wouaaa it is hotttt lol amazing
Uhh, Uhh, my printer manufacturer had changed his print bed product line to make it almost impossible to overheat it (you could fiddle with the control SW however). I assume some workshops could run into serious problems having the printbed burning through. Think about switching to PLA-HT (or HT-PLA) which is as good as ABS but prints on a 50…[Read more]
@Geal I guess it’s beause your heating bed’s temperature sensor have loose from your heating bed!! I suggest you check complete all your 3D printer’s switch, sensors to prevent this happen again…
If you want CAD files of the forarm and the hand, they are available as derivatives, though they are not up to date. http://inmoov.fr/inmoov-parts-and-derivatives/ A multi year process, so I can expect to see another InMoov robot in a middle school sometime in the future. Be aware that it is evolving fast though, specially if you dig into…[Read more]
@Juerg, I\’m guessing Amby sees it for the torso and stomach displacements. The two armonics drive must be for the shoulders. Though when you know how much an armonic drive cost, you back off a little. 🙂 @Amby, yes, it is on that U-joint principle that I had designed the stomach rotations.
Hello Juerg, Awesome robot! I\’m trying to see which appearance update Marvin\’s recently got.. Blue super hero strips on the biceps?
Aaaah the French beret!
Ah finally switching also to a more recent version!
ProgramAB with the webkit recognition works SO much better now.
Last version 1114 still had trouble with loosing an Arduino and the jaw got fixed in version 1113 by Kevin.
Wooooiii we are close to a steady version, waiting for it since more than year, ahaha.
Mmmh I had written a comment a few hours ago, but I guess it just disappeared. Awesome work Bob!!!!!! This is really adding a cool feature!! When I was designing the stomach parts I wanted set in a 3d printed “rotule de cardan” (I don’t know how it’s called in English…[Read more]
Thanks for your comments, Gael. Over here we call that type of joint a U-Joint. I considered that type of joint for this modification but the ball joint is much simpler. I left the pots in the servos and used my modified pistons that I made earlier for the Top Stomach. The reason I am experimenting with this is, that for walking I think the robot…[Read more]
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!
Beautifull
Awesome! Oh yeah riveting must be a good and strong option! You don\’t plan to fix tendons like in the tutorial?

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.
Very nice progress Flavio. Which parts are difficult to gather in Brazil? The servos?
Very good! Let us know how it goes with your students and also with the Mecanum wheels posted by Markus.
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…
Nice beefier parts Alan. You sure have a nice software to present the models. 🙂
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 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,…[Read more]
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! 🙂
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.
Hi wzj, It is the stand holder.
Awesome Flavio! You are really progressing! Thanks for this picture. Are you doing InMoov for yourself or for a student project?
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.
Ahahaha! Always love your videos! You could get a sound added like a hard curve driving. Like iiiiiiiiiiiii http://tubidydb.com/mp3/tire-screech-sound-effects.html
Hey nice MAKER suggestion, I bet it is going to help more than one builder. Thanks for sharing.
Woooiii, super cool ! I posted your video on my Google + I want to test that it seems like a lot of fun!
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]
Hi ! yes my DC convert to 6V it’s ok . All the system is Embedded on Raspi2 I agree some fonctions are slow ( analog poling ) . PI3 , It’s maybe a good news for us I will test it :…[Read more]
Very Nice ! Thanks for showing this short film.
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.
Because it is also been a very long time that I wanted to inverse the InMoov logo on the hand, this has been the occasion to clean up those parts. Check now for the version V6 of the…[Read more]
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. And i fix the board, so the eyes cann’t move. If…[Read more]
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]
Hi wzj, Yes check the InMoov derivative collection, there is plenty of modifications using smaller servo for the head rotation.
InMoov parts and derivatives
@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.
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.
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.
Gael Langevin posted a new activity comment 9 years, 10 months ago
Very good! 5V power supply will be secure for your tests. Though I suggest, to increase speed gestures, it is better to use a 6V power supply. It makes a difference!
Thanks for the info! After some testing, the power supply I have (MeanWell LRS 200-5) allows for up to 5.8v, 38A capacity. I’m doing some testing this weekend and report back if it works well.
Thanks a lot Markus!
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?
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.
Hello Agelos and welcome! Thanks for your pictures and your great built. Printing on a Mendel Prusa!! Carefull the neck is reverse mounted…
Thank you mr Gael !!! Our Mendel work all day and night ! Yes my sister put the neck for the pictures but we fixed it later.
Hello Wally, It would be a great customizer to add on the site. If someone wants to developp it, we could integrate it!
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
Hello Guido and welcome, You have posted this question also on the forum and I gave the answer on the forum. 🙂
Hello Tim, Thanks for the info!
Very good Jason!! I see that you got made some adepts to InMoov 🙂 What is your next progress on the assembly?
I want to get the arms on. I have had issues with bicep pistons threading, so hoping to get those working smoothly, might switch to ABS for them.
Hello lilly, it was a very cheap microsoft webcam. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Insten-USB-16.0-Mega-Pixel-Webcam-Camera-With-Microphone-Mic-For-PC-Latptop-Skype-MSN/43627769 But remember it is not HD, so if you plan to use Opencv in MyrobotLab, it will have a bit difficulty to do a correct face tracking. I recommend getting the Hercules HD Twist.
That\’s correct, the back parts aren\’t released yet. I\’m currently working on the legs which is taking a lot of my spare time.
Hello Felipe! We sure are ready for pictures when you are.
Very very good Nanomole! So your desktop InMoov will never have arms?
hi Gael..never say never…..i have another complete InMoov, just wanted a more portable fellow as well. he will probably end up with arms i think
Very good Matt! Following your progress, do you plan on building the rest?
Gael, I wanted to thank you for all your work. You have inspired me and excited me about robotics. yes, I plan on finishing it. I’m just getting started!
Super! La propaganda InMoov!! It’s actually my picture recolored? Are you planning to make your InMoov with this color scheme? That will be interesting, it will be the brother of wkinne InMoov.
http://myrobotlab.org/sites/default/files/users/user984images/photo%20(4)(2).JPG
Yes ! I love iron man colors !! It is a very exciting project. Thanks for your job
InMoov in China!!! InMoov did it\’s first Makerfaire in China in 2012. At the time it was only the prosthetic hand, not a full robot, and got awarded. Be carefull with those fireworks, your robot might get deaf from the blast!
Cool!! Is Andy connected or not yet? It seems on the picture that the cables are still running loose.
The connections in the picture weren’t yet hooked up since we had just finished the left-arm. Our power supply (5v (variable to 5.5v), 40A) just came in a few days ago. I’m waiting on a few more pieces and then everything will be wired up. We have tested servos individually, but soon we will be able to test it all together!
What a great concept Markus! I will be glad to see that in Paris for the Makerfaire! Where did you get those relay boards? Do you have a link?
Hi! Here’s the link http://www.kjell.com/se/sortiment/el-verktyg/elektronik/arduino/shields/velleman-io-shield-p87866
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.
Very good progress Amby with your robot! Is the wheel platform large enough to keep the robot in balance when you drive it around?
Super and welcome! Hey I was in Merida a few years ago and really loved the city!
Ehi, thanks Alberto! I will add them to the InMoov derivatives collection.
Great! Printing and assembling this robot is the most educational and funny I’ve ever had.
Welcome Jonas! Post and let us follow your progress!
Hi Juerg, the route that Markus took with these connectors was very impressive. Marten, Leon and I had already been working on the Nervo Board and had started the first batchs when I saw his connections, other wise we might have proposed something similar.
Hi Juerg, Very good demonstration and video!! This looks very promising for handling beverages and other delicate tasks. I will Google+ your video and add the parts to the derivative collection because it\’s very interesting progress.
I just wanted to thank you all for the replies I received for my modified hand from different sources. I hope to see soon a copy of my hand on other InMoov’s!
Hello Nikodemus! Great! did you set leds in the eyes or did you do something else? I just checked your Nervo Board was shipped on the 23 of December, same date you did the purchase. There might have been some delays with posts due to Christmas and New Year. It should be expected by now! Keep up the good work!
Hello Gael, The LEDs come from the webcam i use.. i just adjust the to make it round to fit the eyes. Yes.. the delay should be from xmas and new year holiday.. cant wait for them to arrive..
Great! I bet your students will enjoy your class! Looking forward to see the inspirations routes you will guide them to.
Hello Taiwan! Thanks for posting your time lapse video! Do you plan on using InMoov in your class once it is built or is it for a personal project?
When I finish,I will plan on using InMoov in my class. I teach computer courses in the public elementary school, government pay my salary. The last two years, I teach about Arduino and maker.

I also realised some time ago that using the latest version of MRL which uses OpenCV 3.0 that I would get a low fps result. I was recently mentionning that to Grog and he said he would digg into it. So, using the Lenovo tablet touchpad with the version 1.0.107 gets me with a a fps of approximately 30. Using the version 1.0.954, gets me to a 7/10 fps.

Your awesome project is my focus this year, I am not sure how far I can go but I have a few robotics platforms (LEGO, VEX, Tetrix, Fishertechnik) to use with this project. I may also try and do a native one using servos and your boards.
You should post your pictures in your album, you might get featured on the side page.
Hello, The site cannot store videos, only pictures, that is why you need to use URL.
Hello Alain, Very nice! Did you try hooking your Arduino to MyRobotLab? You could voice speak to command each face animation. Doesn\’t comment reply work for you? I see you post new post after each other. Let us know if you have problems with the site community buttons.
Super cool !! Your choice of colors remind me of Leonardo\’ super hero: http://inmoov.fr/members/leonardo/album/ How is the Raspi doing for post processing video tracking on MyRobotLab? I will post the Back Parts soon…
I get about 2 FPS when doing facetracking. That is good enough, however I also get 5 seconds latency, and that a bit to much.

Cute! @Jean, actually cameras could be added behind the grill.
Ah nice with the torso! Hey is that a face protection? Are you building an anti strike police robot?
Awesome! This is nice to create facial expressions! I\’m a bit sorry to see InMoov\’s face is gone though, I had been sculpting the face during my whole summer vacation… Anyway, i would love to see a video with various animations and expressions if you already have the code for it. What software do you use or plan to use?
Oh I had similar thoughts about doing something like this and LEGO, looks awesome
Hello Jack, Sorry to hear about your cancer and very glad to hear you are back on your feet! Bonne Année et Bonne Santé! Keep us updated with your progress.
Nice to see you are back at it. I hope all is well. I’ve seen your progress on EZ Robots forum. Don’t be afraid to post questions here or there if you have any. I am wondering what your plans are for the 2 cameras you have in your InMoov.
Hi Bob, Thanks for the thoughts. Using 2 cameras in head but only one active now. Try to move platform top mobile self contained. I tried answering you via email last week but I guess I need to use forum to answer now. Are you the Bob in South NJ? Your project is fantastic! Keep in touch.!
Hi Jack, I am the Bob from Canada, we talked about a year ago( at least) email me anytime at houston5913@hotmail.com

@Bob, to answer your previous questions on Sebastien’s post: The base can carry InMoov easily. You can add at least 10kg and the base can still ride fine as long as the floor is flat. When I use InMoov in the street, the wheels can overcome some holes if it rides full speed. If you look at my video, you can see a battery carrier between the two…[Read more]

Small video to explanation the driving system of my plateform and the locking mecanism for to be able to push InMoov by hand while driving direction with the remote. I\’m in the process to make a very small remote transmitter which could be held within the palm.
Thanks Gael, now I see how it all works. I like how you can detach the drive wheel to push it around manually. See my comments on Sebastiens’s post.
Always clean!! Thanks for posting your progress, I saw you\’ve made a video as well. Your Nervo Board is also nicely assembled! Your InMoov is going to look awesome!
Thank you. I have made a video indeed. I want to film the rest of the assembly also. I hope it helps others.
Awesome, now we can go racing!! Thanks for all the links.

Beautiful! It is a shame and sad to hear about your printer. I hope you got an insurance or some options to get a new printer. May 2016 help you for that!!
Amby the King of Cardboard! As I commented on your post on MyRobotLab, you could make Thingy on Thingiverse with the DXF and all informations of the motors, wheels and sources. Some builders could reproduce it in PVC or plexiglas.

Alright, welcome to InMoov then! Looking forward to see your built!
Great Ronald! It is very wise, as you say, to see if everything fits before printing more parts. Thanks for posting.
Progress, progress!!!
Ahaha, awesome! The eyes next to the face makes it a little freaky! Was the cap okay in the package? I\’m always a little worried with transport that is why I ship it in a cardboard box.
The cap and NeuroBoard all arrived in fine condition. Gael, thank you so much for your amazing work!
Hey cool, you are also printing the Mid and Low Stomach parts! I hope the tutorial is explicit enough, specially about the servo connections. You have assembled the Nervo Board, are you happy with it?
Hello Gael. Thanks for compliment. The nervo Not Yet but the circuit and diagram look fine. For the servos no problem to understand, but for the shoulder, the servo system doesn’t work fine. The contact between the worm and the gear is too hard for the servo. I’ll try to print again with 0.9 resolution….
Awesome!! This is cool, You must start to see the light in the tunnel!! Nice workshop, I see you have a couple of old collectors Macintosh. Thanks for posting more pictures!
Thanks Gael. Yes I own old Apple 2 c, Apple Macintosh, all the line of old Atari computer(400,800, 520,1024, …..), the line of TRS-80 (Model 2 to model 4)…
Tell me Gael. I am looking for speakers like you use. Have you any reference or brand ? thanks in advance.
Fantastic! Keep us updated when you receive your servos.
Hello Mustafa, The InMoov hand version1 is rather light, but the servos are set in the forarm which is not always usefull for prosthetic purpose. Depending on the material you will use to print the fingers it can add resistance. Carbon 3D printing is the strongest I have seen for now regarding weight and strength. InMoov hand version2 is not ready…[Read more]
Hello Richard, There isn\’t much info on that, most information you will find are directly on the Thingiverse. I haven\’t seen many hands printed with the extra DOF for the thumb. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:28124 Hopefully, somebody will come here to help you on that here.
Hi Gael Thank you for your help, I will look at the link and decide what way to go .
Regards Richard
Nice video, Bob! I see the wrist also has a movement linkage. You might want to share your work with Juerg, as he is also working on something similar.
Yes, I hacked a flexihand and put the servos for the fingers in the palm of the hand and added a servo for the additional wrist movement. I have also just finished adding flexible joints to the original InMoov hand and it works pretty good and can hold objects fairly well. I posted a couple of videos on Youtube about the flexihand.
RIght, you take a new route with servos inside the hand – very nice! My bending wrist uses another servo in the forearm and a few modifications on the existing wrist and hand parts – and it integrates a position sensor to allow the hand to stay horizontal. I am waiting for some cabling stuff as I want to have the forearm pluggable to the elbow.…[Read more]
Using MyRobotLab and creating a special control GUI with sliders. This might be using MaVo\’s GestureCreator in the background.
Students at IES Vegas assembling the eye mecanism on InMoov\’s face.
It is nice to see young people working on things like this.
Ah cool! Finaly you can post videos again! I see you replaced one hand with the Flexi hand?
Oh my! now when you shake the robot, it knows if your stressed or not.. InMoov could become my doctor! InMoov: Gael, I sense your tension today, you should lay down and rest. Gael: You make me tensed because your hand is crushing mine!!
Oh man, what was the trouble? Can you describe?
It took awhile for my login to register on this page. I was logged in instantly on the other pages. Sorry, false alarm.
The other parts are not released because I\’m working on them. I released the finger to help prosthetic projects as long at is not for a commercial purpose.
Well, I started the project designing a prosthetic hand, it slowly turns to be a robot. So, I say, start with whatever makes you excited and keep up progressing!
Cool, at last it seems to be resolving!!
I had a lot of trouble logging into this page, today, but it seems to be working now….I hope.
This was a different issue. Bob can now post pictures.
There is definitely a bug… We are trying to figure what is the problem. Updates with pluggins are a nightmare, it\’s a constant maintenance, that eat our time.
Interesting picture, it almost looks like an undersea algea. The red pins are very flashy!! I see you already have set the tendons. Cool. Thanks for posting!!!
I am very glad you like it 🙂 , the hand is over, but I want to know when I can buy inmoov hand V2. After seeing the video has become my dream the night to program the hand InMoov V2. it would be nice that in the new version of the hand you put the heartbeat sensor (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11574) so it would be enough to shake hands…[Read more]
Hey cool!! Now adding some tendons and some motors will be the next step! PS: When you assemble the hand with tendons, it needs to be mounted on the other side of the rotational wrist. Check this image: http://www.inmoov.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/DSC06254.jpg I don\’t now who\’s the kid, but I think he is ready to see it move!
Awesome and great idea! It could be used for both type of potentiometer to simplify the download process. I have added it to the Inmoov collection of course!
Very cool!! Thanks for posting the link! 50 feet of range is pretty interesting for many purposes! I am very glad the project has been a fun and interesting experience. I will be happy to see your progress on the bicep and shoulder!
Well Markus, this works very nice. I can see how effective this works, and the sensors seem to be working well. I guess you could also use it to create gestures, if both arms were not coupled, using \”capture gesture\” voice command.
Oh my!!
Is a pleasure To meet you, I have a question: Does The servo HK15298B is equivalent to Hitec 33322S HS-322HD Standard Deluxe Karbonite Gear Servo, as show it in your picture? ?????
Hey Rodolfo. I know you replied to Gael, but I just wanted to say that the HK1529B has equal (and in some cases, better) specs than the HS-322HD. It should work fine. That being said, I haven’t personally tested them, so I can’t attest to the quality of servo.
Really my question was to you Celeb. Many Thanks for your fast reply Already I’m waiting my first hk15298b servos, but here in spain is easier get the hi tec servos. But as you said the hk is better that hs, then I will continue using the hk because I’m not expert servos user to configure and hack another ones than are not in…[Read more]

Hi and Welcome to InMoov!! Thanks for posting your pictures!
@Kevin, so I\’m trying to figure how you proceed with the webGui, but I seem to just run into bugs. When I open the webGui I get old windows of InMoov hand that I tried a few months ago. I can\’t seem to release those windows. I experimented under WindowsXP, could maybe that be the issue?

Hey we want a video of the eyes in action! Carbon fiber ABS or PLA? I have only seen carbon fiber PLA until now, but maybe it’s a new product.
Car filler primer is great for finishing on ABS. I use a polyurethane brand, the only thing I discovered, is that you really need to wait to make sure your coatings are super well dry to see if the…[Read more]

Super Great Markus!! Actually we could make just a tactile bracelet for easy driving control! That would be easier to make, because I remember you saying in a video, that it was a bit difficult to make the sensitive forarms sensors. And the videos does show the difficulties of the task. I don’t remenber, did you use i2C to save analog entries on…[Read more]
Thanks Gael ! first i tried to use arduino Micro but it didn’t work ok with the com ports. so i use teensy 3.2 and it works great. i have a sketch on the teensy that sends numbers to serial in MRL
Hey Rocky tries to see his public, but he still missing it\’s eyes! Thanks for the video!
Hey cool! We should make a new link in the \”Build Yours\” for the 3D printed wheel system. I have almost all the parts designed and ready to upload.
Waooo, it looks so human!! How did you do the skin texture?
kakakakakaka…Esse ai sou eu. Estou imprimindo o Inmoov e estou achando fantástico. Já imprimi o braço e o tronco agora estou imprimindo o estomago. Abraços
Nice prints in your album. I didn’t see them when you first posted. Keep us up to date with your progress.
Hello Shaun, nice work! Do you plan on giving it a life and a little name?
Hi Gael thank you! My son has named him Rocky the robot. So far I have his neck working when testing with a simple arduino script. In process of installing jaw servo. Currently printing eye pieces and trying to get myrobotlab up and running. So far voice commands are accepting but neck servo is not connecting. Anyway thanks for your work on this…[Read more]
Woooi, might be a bit scary for children!! But I see the point!! Does it blink the eyes lid? Nice finishing surface on your prints. Did you use car primer filler? Are you printing in PLA or ABS? It is what I do when I want a good finish job surface for to gunspray car paint. But it works easy on ABS, unfortunately the results aren\’t very good on PLA.
Hi Gael – yes the Eyes blink, the iris gets smaller or bigger depending on the light. you are the expert!….yes printed at 100 micron, then sanded and sprayed with car primer filler. I have printed all Inmoov in ABS and all the gears and pistons in carbon fiber(very light and strong).
Thank you for sharing such a great project (which has taken…[Read more]
Ehi!!! There is something of a Déjà Vu. Using a golf caddie is a very good option! Is it sturdy enough? I am pretty sure your motors will do the job, InMoov is a light fellow!
Gaël, yes it’s widely inspired from what you do 🙂 . (i first write Wildly Inspired 🙂 Sure “light is right” This Golf caddie is in aluminium so it is really sturdy, don’t know how many clubs it can support but one InMoov seems ok.
Hey cool! We should make a new link in the “Build Yours” for the 3D printed wheel system. I have almost all the parts designed and ready to upload.
Looks great nice work!
Thank you.
Oh yes, wonderfull a full 3D printed wheel !!! better than looking for old golf caddie :-).
You also can find the InMoov basic scripts on the bottom of the \”Build yours\” page. Here the link for the hand with voice control: https://github.com/MyRobotLab/pyrobotlab/blob/9eb96ed1d094b23f5bfbce843251f81d225b3e8b/toSort/InMoov2.minimal.py
first of all i thank you for inspiring us with your work and making it opensource, thank you accepting my friend request students like us need your valuable help and guidance to built it.. thank you very much sir. Gael The GREAT.
I love those working tables with wires, breedboards and Arduinos and InMoov parts!!!! Looks like a good and exciting test experience!
It looks very good!
Did you use the Hercules cameras? or something else? I\’m wondering what you had to adapt actually, maybe I need to check if something is wrong.
I used the cameras are these: V7 Vanatage – Webcam de 16 Mp (con micrófono, USB, video VGA), negro http://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B004VJ322E?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00
Awesome!!! This is getting serious! I have sent you an email with the part you need for the hips! I think it\’s great to see how the feet are moving up and down using the same servo system than form the arm pistons. I think you will need more than one accelerometer to counter act as body equilibrium. Awesome video!
You will be both happy, I just posted those parts on the site and made a full tutorial!!
Very nice Juerg!! This looks awesome! I like the accelerometer effect shown in your video. The place where you have set your servo is a place for to set an extra servo, so I’m glad to see you did good use of that space. I see you added a piece to mount the rear part of the servo. In one of my previous design the servo was lining sideway at that…[Read more]
Hello ioxLab, Thanks for posting a picture of your progress. May I suggest augmenting the back sucking setting on your printer? This will avoid those small filament hair you have on the edges. Another suggestion concerning the time print you posted on your other post. There is many parts that really don’t need to be printed in high quality,…[Read more]
Hi, thanks for your tipps. At the moment I am writing a list with all components and – because I am german 😉 – a plan when I want to get all the parts printed. I also figured out that I could set the the Speed on the Ultimaker 2 to 200 % without any Quality lost. So I can harvest parts faster. :))
Want to have Bob – Name of the Robot – as soon…[Read more]
Very nice and clean pictures Swan! This surely seems to be progressing well. I looked on your blog also. You seem to be happy with the Nervo board and the way they are cut with my CNC. Was the package in good shape when it arrived? I never had a complaint yet on my boards sold packages though, so it is more to have info. You are welcome to post a…[Read more]
Hi Swan,
Thanks for sharing your experience with the NervoBoards. I’m sure it’s easier how you did the Neck and Head plate soldering… First soldering the headers to the Neck and Head plate and after to the NervoBoard.
About the solder-bridges in the power-line… Normally it must be fine to solder them without any problems. I will see for the…[Read more]
@mdg_nl. The solder tends to flow to two of the three pads. Maybe when there is a little offset in one of the three solder areas it could flow better. The bigger solder areas have a 90 degree angle and are easier to solder.
@admin Thanks for the compliments. The boards where well package and survived the trip to the Netherlands easily. I have posted a review in the shop.
Hey very cool pictures! I like the color scheme you have chosen. Cameras are set in the eyes already?
nice
Yes, I have put two cameras with the new mechanism you have posted, but I had to adapt a little, but seems to work well.

OK, it looks very much like a Tech Shop in the U.S. Relative to InMoov, I would have to say that the InMoov is the most printer intensive project I have done to date. Many of the longer 4-5 hour prints I let run overnight. I think these facilities have rules about unattended machines or not allowing overnight operations, so I can’t imagine…[Read more]

It´s a long journey and maybe we will find some shortcuts on our way. Looking forward to share our experience with all of y…[Read more]
Very Interesting, how did you manage the connections between the Lego and the InMoov parts?
I used m3 (or maybe m4) bolts, the holes in the 3D printed areas where already big enough (4 at top of skull, 2 at back of skull) and they fitted nicely with a LEGO Technic beam. I plan to build the arm next
That\’s great plan! I use the remote control that Alessandro gave me during the Paris Makerfaire to ride InMoov around when I need to go someplace, but I would like to be able to use it also in MRL with voice control. At this moment if I use voice control to tell him to drive I cannot take over with remote control.
Ahaha! the blue note! It\’s going to make your wife even more jealous!
Woaaaahhh awesome!! Now its time to make space in the house to let InMoov ride around!!! Just incredible to think you are able to build this wheel system with a 3D printer, ahaha! I have added your Thingiverse files to the InMoov collection. This is SO inspiring!
Thanks Gael!
Markus, this is so great, I really love those mecanum wheels! Are you using the Joystick service of MRL? Where did you get these cool little joystick? Can they work as remote control without cable?
hello Gael ! no i am not using mrl on the arduino i want to be able move around without the need of the computer so i am working on serial communication between MRL and the arduino sketch insead
yes i am planning to make it wireless
so i can drive around in (transport mode) with inmoov off and when i turn inmoov on MRL can control the wheels as well

Fantastic look! Welcome to the family Jerry! Do you already have the hands working and 3D printed? If you need help to set MyRobotLab, let us know!
Ehi! Awesome! Nice workspace as well!
Woooiii, pretty InMoov to be coming! A blue clone?

Hi everyone! I uploaded all parts for the new eye mecanism inspired by Mats Onnerby and Bob Houston. The mecanism is more sturdy and gives wider degrees of rotation for the eyes. I created files that are simple to print with no support besides for EyeSupport and they require no modifications of EyeGlass (Face). Also I managed to use the same…[Read more]

Welcome to InMoov Chris!
Aaah Markus, I\’m glad you finaly post your video on InMoov site for other builders to see what you are working on! Super progress!
@Marten, As you mention in private message the OpenMV could be a nice option because it is python based and Open source which could be easily added to MyRobotlab with no need to use an extra Rpi. @Mats, I personnaly would rather a smaller device than having to use a Rpi for the image processing, because with the tests I did using the Rpi the fps…[Read more]
Well the hercules HD does a good job as far as what I do with it. But as I said it would be ideal to have a board for post processing things like tracking, face tracking, object color detections to let the computer do other tasks. The Pixy camera would be great but it is mounted on such a big board…
I will wait for this camera: https://openmv.io/ Leon has ordered them via kickstarter 🙂 This has the same results and is smaller ! I hope the price is the same like the Pixy cam.
The Pixy already used a 4-layer PCB, so it would be a hard work to make this smaller 🙂 Option is to ask for a sort camera-shield mount option.
I use the raspberry PI camera in one of the eyes of the modified head. It’s much better quality than a USB 2.0 camera. And the intention is to use the Rpi to do image processing. You can even find a really small version of the camera. https://www.pi-supply.com/product/adafruit-spy-camera-raspberry-pi/
Oh yeah I see it now!
Cool! I will post a new eye mecanism (today or tomorrow) if you had planned to use my original parts. Or you can also use the parts of Bob or Mat, depending on what you want to do.
WOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Richard, Nervo boards have been shipped with a delay because I didn\’t have anymore XT60 connectors. The shop had a malfunction which should be fixed (Thanks to Sebastien) because it changes from \”backorder\” to \”in stock\” everytime somebody would purchase a Nervo board and vice versa. But rest assured that it\’s on the way to your address.

Last night InMoov had something of a Picasso painting… Modifying the eye mecanism to adapt a mix of Mat and Bob to be able to use my previous face design along with the Hercules camera and the DS929HV servos.
OOOhhhh Yes,
This is very good news Gael 🙂 I will soon start printing the head, so your update is just on time 😉
This week I will receive my new _XT filament from ColorFabb. I hope it’s a good filament to use for most InMoov parts, even for the shoulder mechanical parts.

Hey Warren welcome!! Why 6 months? Oh well it must be your schedule plan. 🙂
