@admin I’m currently building the arms. At some point I’d like to train them with reinforcement learning for grasping / picking / moving objects. To do so it would be best to create a virtual model of the robot that can be used to train in simulation. This is commonly done with URDF files. I was wondering if there are already any existing…[Read more]

Gael Langevin replied 3 months, 4 weeks ago

Hello and welcome,
We have in our MyRobotLab software a simulator of the robot which allows to create gestures or kinematics movement prior sending them to the real robot.
We do not use URDF file but JMonkey file which is commonly used in game engines. If you have installed myrobotlab, you will find that file located…[Read more]

  Thanks awesome, thanks so much!
  I haven’t installed myrobotlab yet but I might have some time for it this weekend. I’m still waiting for some components to arrive and I’d like to try experimenting with the simulated model in the meantime

@admin Do you have the i2_FingersX5v2 stl file broken into individual parts (aka separate files)? I have one part, of the 9, that didn’t print correctly and I was hoping to print just that part as opposed to the entire set again. I had loaded the STL into tinkercad with the hope of separating it myself but it appears TinkerCad sees the parts as a…[Read more]

Hello,
You can use NetFabb free version to do that:

  Wow – That was super easy!
  In fact the hardest part was really finding a copy of NetFabb that seemed to be supported by the latest MacOS…. The fi to that was the virtual Windows machine 🙂
  Thanks again!

    Bonjour, J’avais eu le même problème de ne réimprimer qu’un seul élément, la solution, pour moi, sous Windows , était dans l’utilisation de Prusa Slicer qui comporte une possibilté de scinder le groupe d’éléments.

      Merci Marcel – J’ajouterai le Prusa Slicer à ma liste d’outils potentiels si Netfabb devenait totalement indisponible à l’avenir…

    Bonjour, Bonne Année 2023 . Je viens de réduire à 9 le nombre de dents du réducteur à vis sans fin, la vitesse y gagne nettement (40% si je ne me trompe pas) sur le premier modèle qui a 15 dents, ça fonctionne bien dans les gestes avec avant bras et main “à vide: pas de charge à porter”.

You can find the list of required servos in the Hardware and BOM page.

  I can see the servos that are recommended but does anyone know if this Servo will do the job? Servo Motor – Standard 6 Volt with Metal Gear – 13kg
  
  Only asking because it’s the best one I can find locally otherwise I may have to source from eBay thanks 😁

        Thanks for that. I do have one here I might try I used it on the finger starter kit and worked fine. I just wasn’t sure if it would be the same as the mega one you had to mod for the bicep.

So far, no ones to my knowledge has a working set of motorised walking legs attached to their Inmoov robot.

There are a few differences including the numbers of pins.
I purchased a few years ago, and adaptor cable that came with a 12Vdc Power supply.
It has the required plug socket for the Kinect to plug into with two wires coming out, one to the power supply, the other to a USB type A plug that connects to your computer.

  Hello,
  Unfortunately the map is out of function since almost two years.
  We already got some help from different members but it never got completely resolved. It’s mainly a problem of creating a new map directly on the InMoov site with the importation of all the previous map Google data.

Hi Gael (@admin), I saw that you had designed some legs but still not finished with them. They look fantastic! I was hoping to put legs on my robot for visual purposes (not functionality). Is it possible to share the .stl files so we can print the legs for our inmoov? If not, I completely understand. Thanks in advance!

Ah yeah, I know, these legs make a lot of jealous. 🙂
I don’t plan to share yet until I’m through with them, too many things to modify still.
