Hey Warren I’m glad the Nervo boards arrived in time as expected. Please yes join the fun!
Hello InMoov Kim!! very nice looking prints!
Thanks ! I don’t know if you noticed but i did add the swivel hip base and I know when the legs are add I will have to remove it but For now I can watch her do the twist
Oh yeah I see it now!
Woooii cool
Ehi Mat, thanks for sharing! I will print one to test on a finger starter kit to see the effects.
Hi Bodo, It was very nice to meet you as well!! I hope to see you in Berlin next Makerfaire!
Welcome to you Ble2023!
Maybe reducing the filet height for the tendon, this way the pulley would be less high and wouldn’t cause a problem with the covers of the for arm.
It is interesting to see how 3D printers have improved in 3 years. When I started the project, most printers could only print with raft which would have been a pain when assembling together those two piston parts. Today with heated bed and good sticking surface it becomes easy to print parts in different directions. Also support printing is so…En afficher davantage
Yeh u r right, i remember it’s like old paper printers 🙂
I need to improve cooling, sorry the fishes for the hack i try something : air-pump flow ( i need better pump, flow is not strong enough ) : http://lerendezvousdelaterre.com/tmp/aqua.jpg
Yeh I remember it’s like paper printers ! This is support killer : I dont need glue anymore but 6 hours … 🙂 Print is perfect 80% infill inside http://lerendezvousdelaterre.com/tmp/support-killer.jpg
Bonjour Galliez and welcome to InMoov! Thanks for sharing your progress with the community!
Nice video Boris! InMoov lights up for Christmas time!! it’s nice when InMoov starts to talk through program isn’t it? I heard you had to use keyboard typing during the Berlin Makerfaire instead of voice recognition, in fact I met Bodo Facklam in Roma.
Hello Gael,
yes the Inmoov can make now some christmas atmosphere 😉
My girlfriend is using the keyboard to write sentences to give better answers to the people. Normaly the Inmoov had some random programs who are running. But to give a answer to a question what he did´nt know, we must use the keyboard.
I was thinking to use a bluetooth…En afficher davantage
Welcome to you guys!
Awesome! Nice progress! After testing myself the Oxboard in my workshop, I am amazed how human body can adapt itself to an unbalanced engine in such a short time. By the way thank you for sending it to my workshop! I am wondering how InMoov is going to balance itself on that engine though. It seems even more complex when having the robot standing…En afficher davantage
We’ve already bought an Heading hold gyroscope (as used on model helicopters etc.) and will experiment with it trying to find balance. But I agree, it will probably be difficult to achieve. We also want to control both servos with one joystick. I saw already some sample-scripts, so that’s more likely to succeed. We will keep you informed.

Hi jan, could you send me back a message, I can’t find back the trace of our conversation, that is why you didn’t hear from me anymore…
Okay, one printed. It fits nicely! I actually printed only the upper part, because after checking in Blender, the lower part wouldn’t let me set my cables.
Thanks Richard for your purchase! Don’t hesitate to post a review on the product page.

I just modified the CableHolderWristV4 to V5.
It is now screwed with the servo instead of being glued to the servo.
InMoov
Ok it works now, I will print one tomorrow and let you know.
Yes totally do-able. During my design I tested a winch servo which could rotate at 360 degree. What happens though is, more it rotates and more it pulls on the tendons. Though I have been recommending 0.8mm braided fish line, you certainly could reduce the holes to let your 0.6mm go through. Also I would like to mention that my first design of the…En afficher davantage

Hi, there is a BOM list but not for tools necessary.
Default Hardware Map + BOM
Ah perfect! Hey but you can add comments? So it works now for you the community?
Hmmm, that’s strange that it shows up here but I can’t see my comment on the main Community page
Feeling like showing your InMoov is powered by MyRobotLab ? These little covers go on each shoulder.
Cool and sure, MRL deserved it to get placed at the shoulders from InMoov.
Awesome! I have added it in collection of derivatives.
Thanks Gael !
Woouuiii ! Nice prints! Well now the forarm and you just about ready to have a Right hand!
Haha, I can’t wait… I’m printing the last day’s at Day and Night… 🙂 I hope the forearm is ready in about two day’s.
Next day’s I will check all the lengths which each finger needs to lift them completely with the new servo pulley. So I can start re-designing the pulley for each finger.
Last day of Makerfaire Berlin for Tonerwerk with his very nice InMoov. Check the pictures he posted on the forum: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/inmoov/vyEVQvZ0cjU%5B1-25%5D
Bob Houston is having problems posting on the community activity, therefor he requested I would do it for him. If you also encounter problems which don’t allow you to post pictures or videos, let us know on the forum, we will try to figure the problem. Bob has remixed a new eye mechanism which is pretty cool!

@ Bob Houston,
This looks awesome dude, great work and a cool upgrade to the InMoov !
I can’t wait to see some more video’s with the Eye tracking options 🙂
just WAHOOOO
Good idea, Gael, about an adjustment to prevent cross eyes. I have designed a new part that will allow for that adjustment. I have added it to the STL’s on Thingiverse.
bonjour tout le monde! est ce que bob Houston pourrait faire partager a la communauté inmoov les plans et les fichiers stl de son châssis et la colonne sur roue qu’on voit sur la vidéo youtube? merci d’avance
Nice! So the white is the elastic cord and it runs all the way to the end of the finger, if I juge the white spot at finger tip. What kind of elastic cord? Don\’t you think it will stretch more and more over time? I also can see the asymetric effect on the black braided line.
Hi Gael and thanks for your comment and time 🙂
The elastic cord is a basic peace which you normally will use for clothes. It’s now just to do the job of the spring. I’ve ordered some springs and have to wait they will be here.
I hope the asymmetric effect is in a positive way 🙂 At the end of the finger position, the servo can give more…En afficher davantage
Hi, M behar, There is many similar topics on this subject on the InMoov forum. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/inmoov/best$20printer|sort:relevance Maybe you can find some answers there. I wouldn\’t be able to recommend a perfect printer.
Hi Gael, Thanks for your response. Very helpful! Could you please tell me the minimum specifications for a printer to make an InMoov? Especially, what is the minimum required build volume?
Thanks,
Michael
Hi Michael,
The minimum is 12 x 12 x 12 cm See here for all the info when you like to start with InMoov:
Build yours
Thanks Marten!
Interesting design! I like the idea to set the servo horn within the pulley. They might be a bit too thick to fit under arm covers though… Let us know.
Thanks Gael,
And good to now about the limited thickness. I will check this when all underarm parts are done. There is a easy way to save some hight if needed, I can include some holes for the two screws.
Hi Gael,
Just checked the hight and it fits fine.
Hey cool ! Thanks for posting the video!! I love to see stuff like that. Yes the speed of the jaw needs to be increased. Bob Houston has made a remix for the eyes, I wonder if it fits in one normal InMoov head.
Yes thinks for pointing it out. Problem fixed.
That is great. I am impressed how you managed that easily.
Great!
Hi Marten, Nice work! Did you post it on Thingiverse? There is other derivatives there: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1036300 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:618449
Not yet, I first like to now if everything will fit well together. If yes, I will place it on Thingiverse.
I’ve seen the two other designs, but all have the same thing by some servo mount places.
Hello Rosario, Google translate doesn’t do miracles yet, ahaha. Using the chatbot AIML files with MRL works only with recent versions. I believe the version 1.0.99 is too old for that. Try the version 1.0.119. Here on github there is the scripts of Kevin which I used to make InMoov use ProgramAB. Alessandro is also Italian and he certainly could…En afficher davantage
Okay I see it now. Post a video when you are ready with it.
Hi, I seriously doubt about that. Good question anyway. The MG996 have only a 1cm torque of 12kg, if I recall correctly.
Thanks Mats
@juerg, the servos won’t break parts, at least it never did on any of the hands I have assembled. In MyRobotLab you set the Min and Max for each servo, this avoids the servos to force further than necessary. The pulleys mounted on the HK15298, even though it rotates only 90 degrees, can actuate fully all fingers, only the Majeure finger is…En afficher davantage
Thanks for posting the spring design. I think springs has to be part of the solution, since turning the wrist will pull on both sides of the servos. A different design of the pulleys may decrease the length that the springs need to flex.
Springs will the best/easiest way to solve the problem.
I will use this Pully, including a spring to let the finger go down again. I haven’t springs at home to test, so here some different views from my drawings and a mounted pully at a servo: https://copy.com/AU86iOeAAAVYHLev
This Pully size is fine for the Index finger, when the servo makes a…En afficher davantage
Hello, I have found a pretty good solution last year. I didn’t post about it because I wanted to test it before. The hand was set up at an exhibit running the whole day for nearly two months, and the result was concluant.

It’s good to have control of the string length at the pulley, maybe your tutorials should include this update? For the springs – I think it’s good to keep the strings under tension – great pictures and nice cabeling! But e.g. a bit of a fragile object might still be broken because the servo won’t stop? I see you use your preferred HK servos in…En afficher davantage
The basic problem is that the you need to pull a longer distance in one direction that the other. For example the major finger needs to be pulled 27mm to close but only 17mm to open. So the servo pulleys needs to be redesigned to have two different lanes, with different diameters. I have started to experiment, but the pulleys I try now are to…En afficher davantage
I got totally excited myself when finally I could mount them on my InMoov. Yes I will release them. A few little things to modify, specially where the clavi potentiometer rotates, and also the battery holder needs to go a little lower to let access to the power cable of the Tablet.
Thanks oldfarmhand, I was planning to upload some more pictures…
Hello guys, Here are some more pictures of the new back for InMoov. It integrates a ThinkPad Tablet 8″ which can be replaced with other tablets fitting the same width size specs. A clip on, printed mechanism, makes it easy to insert or remove. Access to the two Arduino Mega and the Nervo Boards is easy once the tablet is removed. Access to the…En afficher davantage
Sorry for posting so fast Just got excited when I saw the pictures from your trip you posted, when do you think you will release them?

Understood. Just to let you know, if you don’t already, you can create a new folder/directory for each version of MRL.

WOW! i dint know that thanks so much for the help
Awesome, nothing better than your own settings! 0.4mm will do the job, but might carve in the plastic after a lot of usage. One of the InMoov hand I made was exposed in Paris Tokyo exhibit for nearly two months working everyday from 10 AM to 12PM, the 0,8mm braided line didn\’t carve in the plastic, I was pretty surprised about that.
Ah yes, I was afraid that carving of the plastic would be a problem. I’ll use my 0.4mm for the simpler finger tester then, just to be able to test something. 🙂 Quite impressive that the hand could do that much work without breaking. You’re clearly in the industrial quality segment here. 🙂
Short circuits even with low power can set fire!! I’m glad you got away with it! These (below)are settings I use for to print the fingers, but you might want to go with a 100% infill depending on your material and printer.

The best way to use this sort sensor, is to include a servo slow (step-based movement) which I have included in my code. The code what I’ve shared isn’t the code what we need right now. It was just to test the reaction from the sensor as I showed you in Eindhoven.

Let us know how your progress goes with the install on your MAC. I installed MyRobotLab on many Windows and Linux OS but never tried on MAC OS. Alessandro is now using constantly his MAC to work his InMoov using MyRobotLab.
It worked , after installing the software (Java, MRL and MRLcomm the Arduino ) I have created an (extra) virtual UART within the MRL software to make the connection to the Arduino .
It’s true that understanding how a servo works is a good starting point. Though I must say that some things about servos still don’t make sense to me, ahaha. An example, why on most website selling servos, the specs rarely mention what is the maximum degree rotation a servo can achieve. It seems to be something you should discover once you…En afficher davantage
You are right – there are many missing pieces in the specs the producers or resellers provide. Maybe we could make a call for all builders to ask servodatabase for additional columns in their filter and list? I just started with a mail to admin@servodatabase.com!
Maybe a servo for the legs? (don’t look at the price) https://www.pololu.com/product/1391
Clean prints in your how to! What resolution do you print with? Your requirement for drill bits is slightly smaller than mine, it varies pretty much according to your printers settings and filament supplier.
Thanks Gael My printer is a Multec 300 and I print most everything with 0.1 mm layer and 2.85 mm filament.

Oh please use the same licence cc-by-nc when posting remix of my parts, thanks
Hi Gael, for sure, did not pay attention to that. applied the cc-by-nc to all my InMoov parts. Will start work to make my omoplate holder variable too.
Great idea! I will add it in the derivatives library http://www.thingiverse.com/hairygael/collections/inmoov-parts-and-derivatives

Awesome time, isn\’t it? I loved lego when I was a kid, I can imagine how cool it must be to download the parts, print them, then assemble them. And of course see it moving because of programming! Are you using MyRobotLab?
It’s just pure fun and exhilarating dude long time ago i was not so happy to make soming like this ! I m not using MyRobotLab for now . Only low level servo command. I have just an incomplete hand for now. But when inmoov finish i start MyRobotLab and hope give a soul to inmoov 🙂
Hey teaching about something you need to learn first, why not! InMoov is the teacher and we are his students trying to learn how to make it work. I need to register to watch how you dismantle your 805BB servo motor? Or is it a video available on youtube?

Hi Stefan. Depending on your printer and the material you use, you may have to scale the parts.

If they don’t fit, the use the slicer to scale the object so that they fit. I print with…En afficher davantage
Thanks for the tip! I will print the Servobed to check this as soon as possible. The servos have not arrived yet, and the final parts of the right hand and arm will be printed this weekend, so I’ll just have to hope that the parts I have printed so far will not be completely unusable… I’m using ABS by the way, since that was Gael’s recommendation.
For the site? Thanks to Sebastien and Quai Lab who\’s been working on it very hard! And still debugging some things!
Thank you Gaël. We are very happy to work on InMoov Web site :-), hope all InMovers will enjoy this new interface, all suggestions are welcomes to improve the functionnalities.

Hey nice Marten!! I like that Carbon PLA. I remember the parts you showed me in Eindhoven, the quality was very good! Pulley rotates 90 degrees because the HK15298B digital servo recommended for the hand rotates only 90 degrees. That being said, you can use any servo you like with Finger Starter and of course model your own pulleys. 🙂
Hey Gael,
The CarbonFil is more PET based ! And yes, it’s nice material to use but it needs some attentions for the first layer. (OK I’m still playing with some settings like Nozzle Temp and PrintSpeed)
About the servo: The thing what I hope to test, is that we can use smaller servo’s so we getting less weights in the Arms ! Each gram what we…En afficher davantage
Great prints Marten! In the video posted by Sebastien, the idea is great! Specially if you drilled the holes a bit too wide. But be sure that finger stays loose, in the video they are stiff, rigid, and that is not okay for the movement. The finger should move freely at each joint.
Haha, yes the video is good for all the joint parts.
I was more focused how to glue all fingerparts together like part-1 with part-2 etc…. CarbonFil is PET based and PET is difficult to glue normally. I hope the 30% of carbon-mix will make it easier to glue this together.
Buildtak didn\’t work with ABS for me, I managed to nearly destroy the surface after the third print. ABS temperature is too high for the Buildtak and causes to scare the surface rapidly. I didn\’t try with PLA. But I have seen very good results at various 3D print shows.
Hello Richard, Which script are you using? And which version of MRL? The jaw moves when InMoov speaks even when it is in tracking mode.

Very nice! I see that you are becoming a 3d printer master after being the king of cartboard. I\’m guessing what we see is for the knee rotation, correct? Did you finally use the motors of the drills you bought or is it with a servo.
Good! Well, no the NeoPixel Ring is not yet implemented in MRL. It actually means, it needs to run on a seperate Arduino dedicated only for that function.
Cool after working on the website , a bit of fun 3D printing! was there the script in my database for the NeoPixel ring, I can\’t remember if I have uploaded it on the site? If not let me know and I will.
Hi Gaël, yes my 3d printer feel a bit alone these last weeks :-). I restart printing for finish InMoov asap I use the arduino script you post here
NeoPixel ring : arduino code for stomach
, it works perfecly. thanks (Just need to install the adafruit library) I don’t check if MyRobotLab already have added the NeoPixelRing service ?
I should add this suggestion in the tutorial for PLA users if it is okay with you.
Yes, please. The main reason for me to share my experences is to help other builders.
Very good progress SaTaNas!! Gee that is really a clone. Servos and Nervo boards in place?
Gael thanks, I’m just starting to place the servos but the first tests go well
Others have tested the Raspi Camera module into MRL with success. Your errors might be related to which version of MRL you are using. When I tested the camera with the Raspi2, I was using version 1.1.107 and it was working fine, though with latency.

wooouu, setting the brain in the skull. What sort of camera did you set in? I tested my full InMoov with the Raspi2 and was a bit disapointed with latency. The Odroid U3 was also having latency… Let us know your Rasp2 acts when you will be using speech recognition along with OpenCV tracking, so we can share comparison.
I use a Raspberry PI Camera module connected directly to the Raspberry CSI port. I has really good quality for still pictures and video stream is OK. I tried to use it with MRL and the OpenCV service, but I got some error messages. I will sort it out with the developers of MRL. Thay are all very nice, skilled and helpful people.
Tabing the holes really helps, it is what I also do. Unfortunately not everyone has this kind of tools. Great work by the way!
Great idea, I\’m sure this will a lot of builders using PLA!
Great, I\’m glad about that!
Nice profile picture!
Hello Bob Jacon! Hello hand!
Ehi ! nice fun time coming up!
A bit of Photoshop here and there, ahaha. That\’s the way to get the InMoov logo turned in the correct position.
try to add yourself on the map again, It should probably work now
To attach the Arduino in the back, there is some casing available on Thingiverse. Make sure you still can add the Nervo board. Also try to place them like I did, because if you want to be able to use the files I will publish for the back of InMoov.
Its been at least a year, I did these tests. The polymere wire was 0,8mm. The electric wire resistance was Nickel Chrome 0,3mm. I would vary the temperature of the resistance using a 220v light shader directly connected to the resistance. (dangerous tests…) So I haven’t calculated what Amps was drawn by the resistance. The length of the…En afficher davantage
Cool that you are experimenting this also!! I’m glad to see some other tests. With the few tests I did with polymer muscles, I was a bit disapointed about the speed, and precision. Also as results due to the wire temperature, the polymer was getting less and less responsive and brownish. Do you get good results, when you have two muscles, one for…En afficher davantage
These muscles have no good control technology yet. It is difficult to organize the rapid heating and cooling. What characteristics of muscles were in your tests : resistance and the material of the wire, the voltage for muscle contraction, and what electronics did you use for that?

Nice, let us see your progress in pictures when you start to print InMoov.
Did you start playing with the Nervo board?
I have indeed….the soldering and wiring has begun 😉
Nice! Do you plan to make the whole robot?
Nice prints!
Thanks Gael!! Hopefully the whole of Inmoov will look like that when complete
cool man! Ready for sun!

We certainly want more pictures!! Great sytem for stand alone as well. The legs seem a bit small in proportion, but it looks darn good altogether!! I bet the crowd appreciated.
Thanks Gael. legs will be longer. More photo after Geek Picnic in Moscow. My robot will be read Dostoyevsky on this show. I hope that everything will be fine.
Great! I always enjoy videos, specially when they are comic! By the way great progress Quai-Lab
Beautifull !! Thanks for posting!

Bob Houston made a modification to my neck mecanism, which is pretty cool.

Very good job on the hands and head! You got a very good finish for the hands as well. Will you spray the head or keep it with the Primer spray? Super!
Wooo almost there aren\’t you!!
Very good progress! You didn\’t want to use the latest PistonClaviV3 which are less fragile? The one you have will do the job, but they might weaken after sometime
Wooo almost there aren’t you!!
I had the PistonClavi already done a while ago. When they break I take the new ones.
I am almost there.
GREAT !! Want to see it move!
Very nice job on the surface finish of your PLA. A tutorial for other builders on the process to polish the PLA would certainly help. I\’m guessing you do a primer spray with a paint finish, no?
cool progress!
Ahaha nice, it reminds me a video that Bob did:
Hey very clean work!! What did you spray on it? Polyester car filer? I see, you did close the holes around the mouth. Nice job and keep us posted!!
I use white prime for all material.
I can tell you what work it was:
1. I printed some parts together – like you know 2. i use « one-second glue » to put the parts together (that i will get one part) 3. i use gast ( german « gips ») – then i drag the head 4. i spray with primer. 5. again drag the head 6. from 3. to 5. i think 10 times.
So after 2…En afficher davantage
PS: I forgot one important info:
I printed all parts in PLA in 100% with a Ultimaker 2 in 0.1 layer thickness with 50 mm/s . So i one way it take a while, but on the other hand i have the possibilty to polish/drag/grind the part or cut small pieces away.
Gael Langevin a commenté une activité il y a 10 ans et 10 mois
nice pieces! Do you let your printer run at night? To gain time it what I do, but my printer is so hacked that it is pretty reliable. I cross my fingers
Hi Gael, thanks for the complements. My Ultimaker is pretty reliable and almost never fails the print when I keep a close watch on the first layers. I don’t print at night because of the noise. I hear everything, when I am asleep.
Hi new member, can you Google translate to English before posting? It will save us all some time.
Hey a new member, welcome to the white and red InMoov!
You are welcome.
Nice work, we are glad to see you around, you are from Dubai, correct? Did you finally get to set yourself on the InMoov builders map
Thank you Gael . Yes i am from Dubai. I tried to add in map , and it was showing error , so i couldn’t add myself , can you help me to add in map ?

Но главным детищем Яна стал «InMoov». Это робот, напечатанный на 3D принтере с программным кодом управления, взятым из «open source». InMoov build by Ian, a Russian student.
Ultimaker2, correct? Clean prints!
Thanks Gael, It’s actually the Ultimaker original, but with a heated bed.

Here is Bob’s base for his InMoov. Nice and clean job, we can’t wait to see it moving around a little further.
Here is another use of InMoov in Russia, University Kharkov Ukraine. http://goodnewsagency.blogspot.fr/2015/03/robot.html
I created a tutorial for the Nervo board available on the shop, using some of Martens pictures, to help you during your assembly.

Hey cool picture on the screen, Ahaha!
Oh Okay, I got it.
I see, is it also Python written?
Only java. And C++ on Arduinos 🙂
Wooo iii nice posts all together and great job with the screen and legs! I think there is going to be interest with the legs you made. Are you going to share the files as Open Source for others to download? If you do, let me know I wlll add the link in the InMoov derivatives.
Nice! Are you using MyrobotLab for the Arduino control with the Raspberi pi?
We are not using Myrobotlab for various reasons. All software is written by us. When we finish, we plan to put it into Open source.
Ahaha, nice time laps! Once you will have the bottom stomach parts, you will need to remove the head to make him fit. Ready for Paris!!
thanks! yes i am ready for paris!
Ready for heavy sunlight!! Looks good!
Ahaha, one has a too big head and the other a very tiny. I see the caps came alright. What do you think about the quality? It was difficult to find a good supplier which could do embroidery at a reasonable cost on a quality cap.
I think the quality is great, not like most caps I see today. Well built!
BTY, do you know when the lower stomach / hips will be posted?
Thank you.

Very precise gesture, Markus!! I had done a video where I was grabbing a ball via InMoov using the Kinect and it was very delicate to achieve, Ahaha
Ah yes I had seen your post, but I couldn’t find in which topic it was posted. It is a good idea of course, as a temporary feature. I was thinking of using an assisting walker for the beginning. And then when we figure a better way for the robot to walk, we could remove it. And let him fall.…En afficher davantage
yeah that is likely possible!
Gael, what about anthropomorphic legs? What if to attach the tail with the wheels to the back the of the robot. The tail will confer resistance. The wheels can spin in one direction only.

For the fun, what if we print a big hexapod for InMoov
Inmoov looks like something from Outer Limits.
Many will need to print, but the robot will go 🙂

The sensors are connected to the Nervo shield board. The best is to add some resistances for each sensor connection. https://dlnmh9ip6v2uc.cloudfront.net/r/500-500/assets/e/7/2/5/5/50eb2efece395ffb21000001.jpg
Hi Markus, is the keyboard connected in bluetooth to the PC? If yes, is it something you implemented into the script or is it implemented above MRL?
there is a receiver in a usb port on the computer at the back of Robyn. http://www.kjell.com/sortiment/dator-kringutrustning/datortillbehor/tangentbord/tradlosa-tangentbord/plexgear-mediatrack-point-p98788 and it works very good with MRL
Great, how does it \ »feel\ » you stand on a certain side? Is it because of the sound or is it with infrared sensors? Don\’t the microphones get disturbed with the buzzing noise of the servos of the head?
it is the microphones! check out the script i am working on. http://myrobotlab.org/content/robyn-inmoov-starts-listening#comment-4780
It is not because you bought the CD, that you can use it as a soundtrack for your video. Which is a delicate combination on your video. By the way, it is interesting what you did with the EZ leds in the chest. Nice work!
Thanks Gael! I am using a RGB LED Array and bolted it inside the chest. BTY, any time frame as to when you might have the low hips for Inmoov? I know you hear this every day, but Thank you for sharing your awesome design!
InMoov stealing the toy of R2D2 for Christmas, Merne are you trying to irritate the Star Wars fans?

Woohoo, nice work. No video for Christmas?
Unfortunately I have little time at the moment and have some problems with the lighting conditions. My video has unfortunately become too dark greetings tom
Totaly effective. Grog suggested to get the opening of the jaw bigger according to the level of sound using software, that would be good too.
Very good job Markus!! Scary when InMoov lean sideway, I felt it was going to fall, ahaha.
Great work!!
I know, it is a real pain. But I\’m not able to fix it, only Leonardo could because I have no idea how to solve this. It is the \ »post\ » button that disappears.
Ahaha! I love it. When Robyn InMoov decides it\’s party time, it\’s intense in your home!!
Sorry to hear about the burned servo and broken parts. Learning can be a hard process paved with issues. For info, I hav had 12 broken PistonClavi when I was trying to understand how to mirror the right arm to the left. Between the piston rotation and speed thread of the piston, it was a serious quest for solutions. There is other servos, like the…En afficher davantage

Thanks for sharing your infos.
Thanks for posting.
Well the enclosure makes a huge difference. That is for sure. My printer is also continuously closed, with no fan inside besides for cooling the extruder itself.
Great progress! I\’m wondering why the arm suddenly falls down… Did you get a broken tooth on your gear shoulder?
Gael, thanks so much for the reply,
I was wondering the same thing at the time the arm fell, but if you watch the video, you will see it did a similar thing when it moved backwards and on the second try, it wouldn’t go as far forward as before.
After posting the video, I went to investigate, it didn’t take long to find the cause. I had sheared…En afficher davantage

Very nice Markus! Using a wide screen is good, I have chosen a much smaller screen to be mounted on the Odroid U3 and it is a bit hard to read on it. Very interesting way of connecting the arms, I like the hdmi cables. What power supply do you use for the servos, Others might be interested about that. Thanks for this instructive video!!!
Great! have you been able to set it as default positions following the recommendations I posted recently on the tutorial? It looks like it ! One question, you haven’t printed the bicep covers, is it because you like it this way? Just to say, the bicep covers, once glued to the structure really helps reinforcing.

CYS model S8218 XQ-S4020D Did both servos fit without modifications? Some builders are having trouble ordering my recommended servos.
Big servos did’nt fit. They are a little bit less than yours. By the way russian federal television had shows your and my robots 🙂 again (http://www.ntv.ru/novosti/1261783/).

Ip cameras « dahua » mounted in the eyes. I’m connecting to them using my software, which allows everybody to connect to a wide range of ip cameras. I plan to use them with my pattern recognition algorithms.
You can use the settings with a script, see the settings for the hand Here is a minimal script: https://github.com/MyRobotLab/pyrobotlab/commit/9eb96ed1d094b23f5bfbce843251f81d225b3e8b#diff-76 Here is my full script: https://github.com/MyRobotLab/pyrobotlab/commit/9eb96ed1d094b23f5bfbce843251f81d225b3e8b#diff-70
What servo did you use for the jaw? I have burned a few of them, MG995, MG946R, MG996R… The torque needed to action the jaw, and the movement repetition cause great stress on the servo. Bob Houston has been using a HS-311 servo since he started his built and says he never had to replace it. Might be worth trying.
the servo was a MG 946 but it was a programming error in my arduino sketch, I did not use myrobotlab got it just today installed and trying to find my way
Did you finally understand how to use the potentiometers outside the servos or are you still struggling with that?
Hi Gael, Yes. I finely got the Potentiometers set correctly. I am finishing the chest prices and still pondering if I want to use the sensors on the fingers. By next weekend I should have movement using scripts.
Thank you for your help, and as always, keep up your excellent work!
hey getting good! Do you have the servos already?
Yes, i have the 5 servos for the left hand and 1 more for the wrist (all have 90° rotation for the moment, i will replace the wrist servo later). The servos bed and the other parts are ready.
