sorry if i did any mistake
its my first vedio on inmoov so please watch it full sir
Great video Akash, I can see that you did great progress learning how to use MyRobotLab! Isn’t it great to be able to voice control the finger? Of course it means you can voice control all kinds of devices with MRL through the Arduino. Check the various services, like camera, tracking, I ‘m sure you will find all kinds of projects to do!

Here two views from the pulley which I’m testing with the Finger Starter Kit V2 🙂
When the Finger moves to the Open position, the pulley is pulling with the small circular side. And when the Finger moves to the Closed position, the bigger oval side is used to pull the Finger… The servo makes a turn from 0 to 180, that’s way I can use a…[Read more]
I want to test these pulleys for sure! I’m guessing it will be also okay for our servos HK 15298 which have a restriction from 0 to 90 degrees.
Hi Gaël,
For a 0 to 90 degree turn, I need to make them a bit bigger ! These are now designed for 0 to 180 degrees. (please check your dropbox ! 🙂 )
After some tests, I will upload them to Thingiverse.
Here a video from the new Finger Starter kit V2… The servo current use, stay’s very low during the test, sometimes it’s passing the 0.26A during a start. (I’m still waiting for the new servo’s, so a second video will come soon !)
Regards, Marten
Wouuii video great Martens.Did you use your carbon filament?
Thanks Gaël 🙂
Hahaha, yes I’m still using the same Carbon Finger. I didn’t print more Carbon Fingers yet…

@markus Love your InMoov base however looks to be rather expensive to buy or build one?
Hello Juerg, Markus had posted all his mecanum wheels design here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1116924
is anyone is there who is making INMOOV in india ?
There are not many in or around India. See here: InMoov World Map https://goo.gl/maps/G9jcZJjDciB2
I have sent 8 times Nervo boards to India. Five of those orders were dual Nervo Boards with components, so I suspect 5 other InMoov getting built in India.
Hello Gael & Akash.. I am virendrasinh from Gujarat, India. I am 4th(final) year undergraduate student of Engineering. I am also making INMOOV(awesome) robot(started before 3 months). I will upload post soon… Thank You Gael for everything making Opensource.
hii virendrasinh let’s connect on facebook email: akashdixit453@gmail.com
Finally the Arduino fits well in the updated FingerStarter_Kit. (see picture) The new pulley and adapter for the small servo also fits well.
I need to say….. I’ve found a other servo, which is a bit bigger and has 10gr more weight The good thing is, a standard pulley like Futaba will fit. And it has 2,1kg more torque as the small…[Read more]
Very cool Marten! Once the finger is assembled, a little video will be nice to see!
Thanks and yes, when all is running fine together…. I will share a “little” video 🙂 I think this will happen, when I get the new servo’s because of the fit to the pulley’s. I hope to get them next Tuesday.
when trying to reduce the forarms weight – did you experiment with getting less weight from the printed parts too? Just had a chance to look at a fiber enforced part at an exhibition. It had a thin layer of fiber on top and bottom of the part (needs 2 extruders) but showed impressing strenght.
Hi Juerg,
I hope to save some weights with the new servo’s. They have three times less weight then the servo’s which I’m using now. And the servobed will be smaller.
About the printing parts. I’ve done one finger with Carbon fill and is very lite. I’m only not sure enough, if this is strong enough !
how did you print the carbon item? Layer size? Perimeters? Fill? what tensions are you using? did you try to reduce friction of the tensions?
This is what I’ve printed yesterday, it needs some smalle updates to fit the Arduino better 🙂 When this all fits well, I will share this @ ThingiFirse including the new servo pulley !
Hey Marten, that seems like a great modification. I have a question if you have a moment, since you designed the nerv boards. I have one servo (Rt arm omoplate), which when connected to the nervo board, gets hot and eventually burns when connected to the nervo board. The servo works just fine on a tester etc. I have seen in the tutorial, the…[Read more]
Hmm, it sounds there is something else happen with your servo connection. If there is a shortcut between the Arduino shield and the small PCB, the flat-cable will start getting hot ! Please double check if there is no connection between servo outputs 10 and 11.
If possible could you send me some pictures from your boards?
Thanks for trying to help me. I sent images via pvt email.
Hello Jaideep,
Please read this post from @juerg
An error in a script and an unreachable neck position – just burned another HS805BB so badly, it burned a hole into the case and I can still smell the odor of death when entering the house.I have added now readjustable fuses for all of my large servos (PFRA 160, Reichelt.de).Hope this prevents future smoke!- juerg (@juerg) July 24, 2016
Give it a try and see if this will solve your problem.
@juerg Which servo’s are you using in combination together, which gives you this “Jitter” problem ? Do you have a oscilloscope ? If yes, could you make and share some screenshots, when you…[Read more]
Today I’ve printed a first updated FingerTest plate, including a spring which I’m using as a mechanical Servo-Safer. See pictures…. And tomorrow I hope to test the new 2.5kg servo’s, this depends of the servo’s will be delivered 🙂 I can’t wait….
Hello Marten, Very nice module for a Finger Starter!!! There is no doubt that the servo of 2,5kg will work because even a small SG92R works. With the Finger Starter there isn’t much friction. But such servo will burn for sure if used in the hand. The friction is far greater in many ways in the hand, that is the reason even a MG996 of 12kg Torque…[Read more]
The spring main function is to safe the servo mechanical (there is no direct blocking anymore). And including my servo pulley’s, the finger “close position” gets a smaller arm length ! So this safes a lot of energy use from the servo, when the finger is in his “close position” 🙂 I’m almost sure this spring setup is enough to hold a…[Read more]
can anyone help me in fixing this error during installing imoon in MRL
Hi akash, Why do you try to use such an old version of MyRobotLab? OpenCV is missing something in that old version. Try with the one here:
How to Start MyRobotLab
Hello InMoovers,
Last weekend a good friend and me where asked to come to the “Mini Maker Faire” in the Netherlands. http://www.eindhovenmakerfaire.nl/?lang=en We where there “as builders” to talk with people how like to build something like InMoov. At our stand, we shared some more projects from https://www.wevolver.com/home/

Hey Marten! Great pictures, I hope the mini makerfaire was a lot of fun!!
Thanks Gaël and yes it was “a lot of fun” 😉
STARTING BUILD 9/6/16 everything is going well so far… ordering all the technical stuff this week. as i look at this i cant find any code or starter code can someone explain this or show me where its at.
Hello Jarrett, you can find all code installation here:
I hope this helps!
Thanks ill let you know on the progress hopefully it goes smooth.

how to remove this error shown in red line at the bottom of the pic
Go to myrobotlab.org and ask your question, they will be able to help you out.
You need to correctly specify the path in the script: gesturesPath = “C:\Myrobotlab\ProgramAB bots\gestures”
aimlPath = “C:/Myrobotlab/myrobotlab.1.0.1412/develop/ProgramAB”
how can i tag myself in google map that i am making a inmoov in gwalior (m.p , India ) ?
There is a tutorial link next to the map. (Hopefully it still works)
can i upload my inmoov tutorials on youtube ??
http://www.myrobotlab.org go there and talk in chat ppl can help u
Sure you can, it might help others where you had doubts. Make sure to mention InMoov in the title, this way it will come out with the search.
i have successfully made the figure but now i want to control it with my voice but i can\’t able to find out the python script as you shown in this video so please provide me the link of python script of fingure so that i can controll it with my voice
is it this ???
https://github.com/MyRobotLab/pyrobotlab/blob/master/home/hairygael/InMoov3.minimalFingerStarter.py
hello, there is different version of MyRobotLab, therefore there is a script for each worky version uploaded on InMoov site.

I realized that the Lenovo Thinkpads were no longer possible to buy new in any Swedish stores. Thanks to eBay I managed to get one from Germany though. After almost bricking it by upgrading to Windows 10 in a nonstandard way, I have not got it working. It\’s time to download MyRobotLab and start printing out the new back parts! 🙂
Hmm, I meant I have *now* got it working. 🙂
Great! For sure bricking the tablet would be a waist… I haven’t tried to upgrade my 2 tablets but since it is working fine under Windows 8, I don’t want to take the risk to brick them.
If you should ever try, and get stuck, I could probably help you out. 🙂 After my adventure with the almost bricked computer, I’m now an expert on the Lenovo Thinkpad 8. I contacted both Lenovo’s local repair agent, and Lenovo’s official technical support when I couldn’t make the computer respond, but none of them could help, interestingly enough.…[Read more]
i have completely made he finger starter so i want to ask will i use this finger setup in future with hand and forarm or not ?
Hi, The Finger Starter is the index of the hand. If you are going to print and assemble the complete hand, you can re-use the index, but personally I like to keep the Finger Starter as a tester. Of course you can also re-use the servo motor and the Arduino Uno board. Though if you are planning to built the complete robot, you will need two Arduino…[Read more]

Very interesting Markus, I’m surprised how well the mini joysticks + remote are reliable to control the arms and hands.
Yes it works really good ! i need to practice a lot

I have started to replace broken HS805BB with bluebird BMS L530MG (hobbyking). I have one for my bicep and another one for the neck. The bicep initially worked fine until the horn adapter started to slip (the lower arm is a heavy bugger). I recommend therefore metal servo horns with the bluebird servo. You need to order them separately.…[Read more]
I just visited the InMoov website for the first time this summer, and realized that Gael had actually updated quite a few things. Nice! 🙂 Naturally, I restarted my dormant InMoov project and celebrated by mounting him to his very own chair base.
brilliant, i knew i was hanging on to that broken chair base for some reason. Now i know what it is!
Exactly! Chair bases of the world, unite! You now have a purpose!
Nice to see that you have come that far with the build. I was a bit worried about the 3D printer fire.
Ah, you remember that. 🙂 I actually got another printer just like the one that was damaged, and then I took a chance and sent the broken one for repair. Amazingly enough it was totally repairable, so now I have two Flashforge Dreamers working for me. 🙂
I use the same chair technique on mine. I welded a section of pipe to it to bring him up to normal level. Slides right into Gaels mount.
🙂 The chair base brings me back to one of my old post:
Torso for InMoov on Cubehero
Yes, I remember seeing that a long time ago. 🙂 I will probably let my InMoov keep its chair base until the legs are finished. But no pressure Gael, please take your time. There are many other things that need to be done first. 🙂

Robyn Inmoov controlled by a Xbox one wireless controller
Great Markus!! This is cool to be able to control the arms gestures so easily. Once in position, can you still “capture the gestures” by voice to compile them later into one gesture?

which 3d printer i should for the making the inmoov , I am just a undergraduate student of 4th year in india so please suggest me a good 3d printer under affordable range
I recommend tevo tarantula i3. I use it for my prints. Print quality good and printer is cheap. You can buy it from aliexpress 🙂

An error in a script and an unreachable neck position – just burned another HS805BB so badly, it burned a hole into the case and I can still smell the odor of death when entering the house. I have added now readjustable fuses for all of my large servos (PFRA 160, Reichelt.de). Hope this prevents future smoke!
Thats a good idea! Can you share details on how to install them?
Sorry, yes, just route the connection from either plus or minus pole from the power supply to the servo through the fuse. The fuse is supposed to heat up with current flowing through it and increases resistance thereby lowering the voltage for the servo and make it stall. The fuse regenerates when cooling off. The fuse works in a slow mode so…[Read more]
Thanks juerg, I’ll check into it more as well.
mmm good idea, i add too some capacitors to prevent jitter ( i test it tonigh ) : http://letsmakerobots.com/node/12679
let me know about your caps result. I had an issue with a digital servo impacting another analog one. After connecting the dig servo to another power distribution point the problem resolved itself but having a cap for the signal lines looks to me like a more robust solution
I think we have the same problem, I have mixed dig cys and analog 805bb. I tell you the results soon
Update: Actually had a problem with left shoulder rotation servo (continuing small repositiong with growl) and after a while it stopped to move (fuse and servo rather hot) so the fuse did it’s job. Have added now the 104 (100nF) caps for all shoulder servos (between signal and ground) and as it did not completely stop the growl a lot of has gone…[Read more]
Juerg I just want to say : IT’S MAGICAL 🙂 . No more jitter or zombie servo when detach : https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10210323785361860&set=p.10210323785361860&type=3&theater
thanks, great picture but I do not use nervo boards. the pin right next to e.g. 12 is the signal line? the dark green edged pins are the + power ones? the 100uF ground side is on the signal? and 104 is a 100 nF cap?
the 100uF ( the big chimical, it’s bad we need ceramic ) is pluged to +6v ground power line . The 100nF ( The small 104 ceramic ) is pluged to each signal pin. ( +signal , ground ) The signal and the power shared the same ground.
Great! I remember a post on the InMoov forum mentionning something similar, It sure would be great to add that option on the next Nervo boards release.
