Hi Robyn,
Congratulations for your record !!!
Say Hello to Markus for me 😉

This is my solution to mounting the LifeCam 3000 cameras.
I used felt pads to bring the camera forward and the lens sits in the back of the eye piece
This position prevents the iris showing in the corners of the image
I glued the parts together on the basis that if the camera fails I will reprint the eyes and holders.
Hope this helps other builders

Looks great Markus, where did you get the battery cover panel from?

Hey, this was awesome. I printed it up.

Thanks for your feedback, glad you can use it! You need to spread the face a bit when mounting it over the jaw mechanism but it wasn’t difficult.

Great job Markus!! I love your wheel platform, especially when i see Robyn driving!!

Thanks for sharing that video, Markus. Looks like it was a good time. Did Gael mention any time frame for the legs to be released ?

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.

Hi Rafel.

Kevin ( kwatters ) has connected LeapMotion to the servos of the hand.

And Alessandruino has used Myo.
Just make sure that you register so that you get access to all the content.

your question is a bit cryptic. Are you looking for an alternate servo to replace the HS805BB? Unfortunately servo cases are not normed and differ from type to type. One option is the CYS S8218, a bit slower but stronger. It has the same width as HS805BB but length is 59.5 compared to 65 and I could not find exact height information in relation to…[Read more]

is last bronze pla ?

Nice set of test prints!
I have also tested nylon and carbon.

InMoov initialized

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]

Hello Juerg,
Awesome robot!
I’m trying to see which appearance update Marvin’s recently got..
Blue super hero strips on the biceps?

Thanks, Gaël, my robot did not have colors at all before and I did a lot of grinding on the breast parts. Took me also some time to make the characters fit into the indents 🙂

no idea, what is this good for?

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 http://motopieces.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/rotule-de-cardan-624×468.jpg) to…[Read more]

very good idea use this articulation bob
i think to use the same idea for ankle was the best

Finally robots will ask for vacation time????
Nice setup – how can I book it for myself?

Ehehe, once again Robyn is enjoying life for our own pleasure!
Always makes me laugh a lot!
Thanks for keeping up the cool videos.

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.

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

Hi Juerg. That looks really good. I ordered a set of 100 male+female 3-pin connectors based on your suggestion. I think that will be enough for the whole build 🙂

Hey nice MAKER suggestion, I bet it is going to help more than one builder. Thanks for sharing.

Woooiii, super cool !
I posted your video on my Google +
I want to test that it seems like a lot of fun!

nice work what is this servo motor?

Thank you amby! This is turnigy 1270HV 40kg servo. With some mods it can fit perfect.

Hello Agelos and welcome!
Thanks for your pictures and your great built.
Printing on a Mendel Prusa!!
Carefull the neck is reverse mounted…

Hello Alberto,
Good idea to make customizable with Openscad!!!
I have added it to the InMoov collection.
http://www.thingiverse.com/Gael_Langevin/collections/inmoov-parts-and-derivatives

Great to make it configurable! I have created some adjustable servo holders and are tempted by your entry to make them configurable too. Some limitations I read and maybe more work if I can’t reuse the original part. I will give it a try however.

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.

WOW! That finish looks great!

Does the mesh connecting the clavicles near the neck get in the way of the shoulder pistons?

No. as he is not having arms fitted, just head and sensors. he’s as big as he’s going to get!. I have another complete inmoov

Wow, nice finishing! How did you do it?

Hey nice work, looks great!!!! What are your plans for your “Desktop InMoov” ?

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?

Very good progress Amby with your robot! Is the wheel platform large enough to keep the robot in balance when you drive it around?

hello gael thank you yes the wheels plateform is enough for balance
all is ok with my prototype cardboard so now i start to build in wood

Ehi, thanks Alberto!
I will add them to the InMoov derivatives collection.

Thanks for posting this. It looks very good. But I think you have seen it on Markus build, not mine. So all credits to him.

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.

hello juerg interestinf wrist
thank you for show us

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.

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…

Nice idea with the rechargeable batteries. What kind of motors are you using?

Very nice Amby!
It seems to have good speed with those electric car motors.
I really like your battery idea,! If I wouldn’t fly the globe with my InMoov robot, I would go for your solution!
Unfortunately we may not carry batteries like that in planes. The very common 6VAh batteries can be bought almost in every country, so when I arrive in a…[Read more]

Fantastic Amby, Whaoo two motors and two batteries !, you are ready for the InMoov Racing 🙂

I like your drive system. Can you share some details about the components you used to build it – motors, servos?

i like your choice color in your inmoov!!!

Awesome, now we can go racing!!
Thanks for all the links. I am still using a huge Transmitter gracefully given by Alessandro during the Paris Makerfaire, but I really want to build something much smaller which could transmit directly to the receiver.
Having two functionality for the mobile plateform is super handy when you travel with…[Read more]

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!!

Nice work! It is amazing what you do with cardboard ! Can you share some information about the motors you used?

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.

Great Ronald!
It is very wise, as you say, to see if everything fits before printing more parts.
Thanks for posting.

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 Bob

Very cool movements .

As you have done to make the system of wrist motion up and down ?

Ah cool!
Finaly you can post videos again!
I see you replaced one hand with the Flexi hand?

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.

Looks great! The flexihand seems better controlled – is that due to a design improvement in the parts or just better tuning during installation?
PS I think we should chip in to buy you some switchplate covers so you can program your bot to install them 🙂

Yes Seem to work!
this bug make me crazy, just need to remove the test seb pseudo 😉

Cool, at last it seems to be resolving!!

beautiful!!!

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.

Yes i have both sensors working now thanks to Greg and they move separately.
and it is very easy to create gestures.
there are so many possibilities
for example interaction with people.
my experience is that many people want to touch and feel with their hands
and now Robyn will respond to that.

Nice work, Markus! I see lots of applications for these touch sensors. I have also experimented with them.

Nice works, Makus! I see lots of applications for these touch sensors, giving a robot the sense to “feel” is huge.

Amazing! Looks great, easy to imagine this in a variety of applications…

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]

Oh and I see that Robyn is getting ready for Christmas!

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 – It is a Carbon fiber reinforced ABS mix. I must say it prints very very well. it wears your nozzle out though. I had to replace my nozzle after printing a 1000 grams of the filament. still well worth the price of a nozzle. I purchased from 3DXTECH in the usa.

I will do a short demo video so you get the idea. still think I like the eyes…[Read more]

nice eyes. how can it see if they are screens? do you have a camera mounted somewhere else?

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!

Nice looking base. How does it work? Do you have a video of it moving around?

Hi. Yo can find some basic scripts to get started with the hand and voice control here: http://myrobotlab.org/service/inmoov
You will need to make some modifications to the code so that it fits your setup, like the port fort the Arduino, what pins you use on the Arduino and limits for the different fingers,

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

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, which…[Read more]

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]

no comments?

i have made some changes after this video because i needed more power to the motors but the sketch is sill basically the same

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?

Very cool, Markus! How do you have the controls arranged? For instance, how do you distinguish between “turn right” and “go sideways to the right”?

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!

That looks great, Markus. I was wondering – how do you have your controls arranged to cause the 10 possible movments?

Fantastic,
Very Great Job, thank you very much Markus for sharing this,
Robyn is going to be able to do many tasks at home 🙂

Awesome Markus!
Thanks for sharing your work with the community!

Welcome to InMoov Chris!

Chris, I’m also located in Houston and working on an InMoov with a friend of mine. We’ll have all the parts printed by the end of this week and have already started assembling the hands. Let me know if you’d like to get together and talk InMoov.
Bruce
foxion@yahoo.com

Hi Markus,

Cool to see these results (I’ve seen your first video about this project at MRL)
It’s running fast to 🙂

I’m sure, Robyn will enjoy this new tool to.
Thanks for sharing this driving system for InMoov.

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!

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.

very well finished and alot gone into the finish of the parts by the looks of it. i like the led lighting effects. how did you achieve that, especially the eyes ?

Wow. That’s a high quality build. You must have spent a lot of time to make the parts look so good 🙂

hi rentaprinta how did you mount the neo pixel in the head and where ?

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.

Hi Mats,

Is this a option to use:
https://copy.com/1K7hNQFiuvHMBHUh
(sorry, there is no option to upload a picture directly in a commend)
As you can see at the drawing, there is a normal sized part (left side) and a smaller sized part (right side).
For the smaller side (with a oval form) you have to play to get the correct length you need.
If…[Read more]

Hi Marten. I just cut of a few mm’s of the hand cover support. It’s only there to support the structure during print. I don’t want to replace the dual track pulleys since they work very well. Have a look here for a demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5S-8hjsMr8

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.

Awesome solution for tensors Mats!
Thanks a lot for it and for sharing it over thingverse!

Saved me $$ on springs!

😀

Ehi Mat, thanks for sharing!
I will print one to test on a finger starter kit to see the effects.

Woooii cool

Hi Juerg. I appreciate that you want to help. But from your answer, it is obvious that you don’t understand the basic problem. It has nothing to do with centering the servo. The servo needs to pull 27mm on one side to close the finger, while releasing 17mm on the opposite side. That is a difference of 10mm. Not a sum of 27 and 17. To open it…[Read more]

Pictures were uploaded in a different order than I expected. So the last picture shows the open finger with lines stretched and the two other when it’s closed and the lines are not stretched anymore.

Very good idea the “double pulley”. You get the same results for the pinky and middle finger ?

Very good idea!

This looks interesting – How would you describe the improvment to the hand’s movement?

The reason I am asking is if you think the springs that were introduced to keep the strings tight would still be needed ?

looks good! i’m printing them to put on kim

The new version has bigger letters indeed and filet around the edge.

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…[Read more]

Hi Richard! You have to buy 2 Nervo Boards, one or the right side and one for the left side. You would have free outputs in one of the Nervo Boards (because the InMoov for example only have one head) so you can use them in the future to add new moving parts to the InMoov.
You don’t have to adapt the Nervo Boards, are the same.
Bye!

Thanks for posting it.
Like I told you in our private email:
Awesome!! Totally in the InMoov style!
I will print a set today and let you know how it goes along with the mini breakout Nervo board.
