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]
Awesome Gael and thanks for the files and the tutorial.
Thank you Gaël , i cant wait to start the head !
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.
Other question about the camera, are you still happy with your…[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/
@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]

Hopefully it gives me now a better “HangOver” result 🙂 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1078510 Next week I will go further with the servo pully’s including the springs. The spring will be used, to function like a servo_saver and at the same time to stretch the braided fishing line.…[Read more]

Yeah, MyRobotLab the InMoov brain sowtware is also on the Shoulders covers, pretty nice tatoo 🙂

Thanks, You are going to print the new release with bigger letters. Please send a picture of Kim with his shoulder cover 🙂 I called my InMoov Airwin
Yes the bigger letters make it easier to see them!
The new version has bigger letters indeed and filet around the edge.

I just modified the CableHolderWristV4 to V5.
It is now screwed with the servo instead of being glued to the servo.

I’m wondering how Gareth, or anyone else, would proceed to use the below Blender file along with virtual InMoov to create simili human gestures.
The c3d addon for Blender is in the preferences to be added.

Here some pictures from the new ServoBed: I’ve replaced two servo’s more to centre, to get some more hight. I’m almost finished with the last RotaWrist parts. When these are ready, I need to check the RobCableFront part. I need to (re)move some holes in this part.
Last night and today I’ve printed all the RobParts. Now I’m printing a new ServoBed and tomorrow I will start with all RotaWrist parts. When that’s ready, the complete ForArm and Hand are ready for use 🙂
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.
Servo Pulley can now be downloaded: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1052776 I will upload more sizes later these day\’s.
Awesome! I have added it in collection of derivatives.
Thanks Gael !
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
So, during some spare time this day’s, I’ve printed a complete Right hand. All in PLA and everything fits well 🙂 My next step is to start with the Right underarm parts, so I can install all servo’s and connect these to all the Fingers.
Here some pictures from the complete Right hand:
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.
Bob Houston is having problems posting on the community activity, therefor he requested I would do it for him.

@ 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.
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
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
For the complete Right hand, the Thump is ready:
Here a video again, with the new servo pulley which is specially designed for a Finger movement. It’s designed for servo’s which can turn a full 180 degrees. This Pulley gives a better torque and there’s less change to move to much to destroy the servo or finger. There are two option about the spring (in this video I’m using a elastic cord…[Read more]
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…[Read more]
Here some better pictures the new servo Finger pully together:
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.
I’ve made a other servo pully. I hope to get soon the springs because they are needed in this design. Here two pictures from a mounted pully at a servo and a picture with some views from the drawing:
Hi Marten I think before changing the pullies we should agree what the mechanical requirements are for the fingers. In my arms I use mg996R and they can turn about 110 deg to the left and to the right (total 220). So when Gael says he can move all fingers with the exception of the middle one with an unmodified HK15298 servo which allows only 45…[Read more]
Hi Juerg,
Thanks for your input about this.
The good thing to use a 180 degrees pully, is that there is less change to break any mechanical parts. A other good thing is, there is a higher resolution to place/hold the finger at his position. Have you seen my Finger Starter video ? Here I’m using a MG996R servo and it turns a full 180 degrees…[Read more]
Agree that individual pulley’s for your combination of servo and finger would be safest for builders. Just go 0 to 180 without having to worry about limits. I am rather the software guy and think – once the mechanical part looks good – I can control movements with the mapping function of MRL. For me the springs are rather an option to add a bit…[Read more]
Dreaming is a good part of your life 🙂
Sounds interesting about the linear resistor position feedback and the camera / google image recognition. I hope to see more if you have done some tests 😉
About the servo pully sizes, the size is based like the http://inmoov.fr/wp-content/uploads/stl/Forearm-and-Servo-Bed/servo-pulleyX5.stl They will…[Read more]
just started to print the ServoBed Part. I’ve edited the drawing to make it more 3D printer compatible 🙂 By some servo mount places it wasn’t the best way to print. Here the new drawing:
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 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.

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?
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.
That is a really nice back. Looks good and will protect all the electronics and hide some of the servos.
Thanks Mats

Hi Marten, I always like to see videos, they tell so much more than words! That carbon filament is great looking! I did make a Arduino script when I was testing the carbone foam sensors on the finger starter. I’m wondering if I still can find it in all my data. It could maybe help you or others, as I recall it was a bit of a different approach.
Found the script back in my data base:
const int servoPin = 3; const int sensorPin = A0; int sensorReading;
int pos = 0; // variable to store the servo position
Servo myservo;

void loop(){ sensorReading =…[Read more]
Hi Gaël,
Thanks for sharing your code to.
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.
If we use a step-based movement, the…[Read more]
So, just finished the Finger Support plate for the servo and the Arduino board. I hope to have some spare time tomorrow to buy some glue for the finger parts.
For the servo I will draw a smaller pulley so the servo can give more torque with less power. (original it use 90 degrees to move the finger up and down, I like to give it a try to use…[Read more]
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…[Read more]

Hello Marten, haha i’m going to open the first french manucure for robots :-), most seriously i think to use this to easily detect the finger position using color detection in the pictures I have a flash forge creator : it produce very good print at the begining, but after 50 hours, the 3mm aluminum plate start curving, even with a glass plate…[Read more]
Just finished the last finger pieces for the Finger Starter Kit. All are printed with CarbonFil with a 0.2mm layer hight. (I now, it’s better to use 0.1mm 🙂 )
Hey looks great. Many, many more parts to print however … I give a filing to the finger parts where they move against each other because the printing in layers creates imperfect vertical surfaces. I do not want your pieces get broken but does it feel like the you might brake the parts when assembling them? I broke several with PLA and ABS when…[Read more]
I don’t now yet with the fingers. The CarbonFil is great stuff and feels strong. I’ve used this to make some prototype parts for my Camera Gimbal. And it didn’t break 🙂 For now I’m still waiting for advice about which glue I can use for this CarbonFil.
I will come back to this question if I now more 😉
Hi thanks for your comment. What is your print bed made of and what temp / preparations do you need to make the pieces stick to it?
I got the same trouble. Happily with abs it can be repaired quickly with acetone. Some times after I found this tip, just heat to smooth the holes. It looks like Mats Önnerby tips with airgun to mount pla parts but with a solder iron. Have a look on this video : Hope it can help.
Hi Juerg and Sebastien,
I’m still using the standard clean glass plate from the UM2. After each print, I’m cleaning the plate directly when it’s still hot.
For CarbonFil I’m using a temp from 255 C and the heated bed is set to 60 C. I’m still playing with some settings. Most important thing is that the plate needs to be levelled well and very…[Read more]
I think I will sit down and create a video about my finger assembling techniques including the strings. Watch out for it.
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.
Hello InMoovers,

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 ?
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.
hello what is the model for the stomach NeoPixel Ring it’s 12, 16 or 24 led?

To Fred and others: https://groups.google.com/group/inmoov/attach/151d3d256a4108f0/spring%20tensioner1.jpg?part=4&authuser=0 This is how I see a spring added to the retraction tendon. In this set up we avoid forcing on the servo either way of rotation and it also avoid losing tension in the tendons.
Have you already tried this ? If so, what kind of spring do you use, and where to buy it ? 🙂 (ok, I’m lazy 😉 )
No I haven’t tried yet, I want to order a box of various springs on ebay.
