Small video to explanation the driving system of my plateform and the locking mecanism for to be able to push InMoov by hand while driving direction with the remote. I’m in the process to make a very small remote transmitter which could be held within the palm.
Thanks Gael, now I see how it all works. I like how you can detach the drive wheel to push it around manually. See my comments on Sebastiens’s post.
@Bob, to answer your previous questions on Sebastien’s post: The base can carry InMoov easily. You can add at least 10kg and the base can still ride fine as long as the floor is flat. When I use InMoov in the street, the wheels can overcome some holes if it rides full speed. If you look at my video, you can see a battery carrier between the two…[Read more]

Airwin InMoov driven with a wireless PS2 gamepad
I like your drive system. Can you share some details about the components you used to build it – motors, servos?
Thank you Bob, this InMoov plateform is widely inspired from the one Gael made. My components are coming from old broken stuff to make it low cost as it is a temporary solution waiting for legs :-).
The arduino uno that manage the inmoov neopixel ring is now also used to read commands coming from a wireless PS2 Gamepad ( thanks to Bill Porter…[Read more]

Thank You 🙂
Awesome, now we can go racing!! Thanks for all the links.

Having two functionality for the mobile plateform is super handy when you travel with…[Read more]
Sebastien and Gael, Thanks for sharing the details on your bases. They are very simple and efficient. How much weight can the base carry/move around. Gael, yes, EZ Robot can do the voice controls as well. I can run my drive motors with Voice command, or manually on the computer or mobile app. I’m looking at building a lighter base like this but…[Read more]
@Bob, I replied to your questions on the thread in which I posted the video with the base.

A demo of the stomach rotation
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.
Yes, I hacked a flexihand and put the servos for the fingers in the palm of the hand and added a servo for the additional wrist movement. I have also just finished adding flexible joints to the original InMoov hand and it works pretty good and can hold objects fairly well. I posted a couple of videos on Youtube about the flexihand.
RIght, you take a new route with servos inside the hand – very nice! My bending wrist uses another servo in the forearm and a few modifications on the existing wrist and hand parts – and it integrates a position sensor to allow the hand to stay horizontal. I am waiting for some cabling stuff as I want to have the forearm pluggable to the elbow.…[Read more]
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 🙂
Hi, testing to see if I can post a picture here.
Yes Seem to work! this bug make me crazy, just need to remove the test seb pseudo 😉
You and me both !!!!
and thanks a lot for working on it and figuring it out.
Cool, at last it seems to be resolving!!
I had a lot of trouble logging into this page, today, but it seems to be working now….I hope.

Hello, Just to share with you the very first wheel spin of Airwin this night. I hope the small motor coming from an old electric Kids Toy will not soon burn.
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!
Gaël, yes it’s widely inspired from what you do 🙂 . (i first write Wildly Inspired 🙂 Sure “light is right” This Golf caddie is in aluminium so it is really sturdy, don’t know how many clubs it can support but one InMoov seems ok.
Hey cool! We should make a new link in the “Build Yours” for the 3D printed wheel system. I have almost all the parts designed and ready to upload.
Looks great nice work!
Thank you.
Oh yes, wonderfull a full 3D printed wheel !!! better than looking for old golf caddie :-).
Nice looking base. How does it work? Do you have a video of it moving around?

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.

Awesome Gael and thanks for the files and the tutorial.
Thank you Gaël , i cant wait to start the head !

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]

Hello,
here is the first video of “Hansi” with working Torso and Head
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 ?
i make this FX with NeoPixel Ring.
12 LED NeoPixel for the Head and a 24 LED NeoPixel for the Torso
Noticed that your shining Hansi talkes and understands German. Are you controlling it with MRL? If so could you provide details for the setup?
Yes Hansi is understanding german, but i use a EZB4 Controller to do that.
https://www.ez-robot.com/Shop/AccessoriesDetails.aspx?prevCat=9&productNumber=40

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.
Hello Gael,
yes the Inmoov can make now some christmas atmosphere 😉

Tip i used to print special parts without support like this . Epoxy glue and hotted metal nail inside

great Marten ! i will try reduce print speed with 100% infill . 226° is not too hot ?? I use simplify3d no Wall Thickness settings just perimeter shell .
Hello Anthony,
226° is a high temp, the UM2 has a lower temp as the display is showing. And with this temp I get good results 🙂 Sometimes I set the temp a bit lower, after the first 10 layers.
Do you have a picture from your end results ? If yes, it good be handy to give a better advice where it go’s wrong.
I checked the K8400 and see there…[Read more]
ok I start at bigger temp too it better to attach bed . This is it : ( the middle is already glued ) : http://lerendezvousdelaterre.com/tmp/piston_cut.jpg .
Looks good Anthony, I think only you need to start the fans from a higher layer ! I see a lot of warping at the bottom side, this happens when the PLA is cooling down to fast. The best way is to start slowly with the fan speed around layer 30 (3mm if you are using 0.1mm layer)
Also check that the print bed is close to the nozzle. If the distance is to far, the first layer will not stick well to the bed. The first layer should create a solid piece of plastic without gaps.
i also printed all the gears and pistons in carbon fiber/abs, very strong and light and durable.
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…[Read more]
Yeh u r right, i remember it’s like old paper printers 🙂

The new dual track servo pulleys interfere with the cover of the hand. If you use them some material needs to be removed from the arm cover to make room for the front middle pulley. Thanks to Juerg who warned me that this could be a problem.
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
I’ve seen the video and the results are perfect ! The option was more meant to update the Pulley’s for other InMoov builders, how like to use your Pulley’s, so they haven’t to cut anything 😉
From a math point of view, an excentric pulley will work very different. With two tracks, it’s just linear movements. The excentric can only work between very limited angles. With two tracks, you can rotate any angle. The ratio will still be the same.
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!
😀
Sorry forgot to ask if this solution need a different MRL configuration, if so can you be so kind to explain changes need please? Thanks again!
No change to MRL, except that you may have to change the max and min values for each servo that controls each finger, but thats someting you probably will need to do anyway.
Nice, thanks!
I added a new video to show the difference between the original servo pulley for the hand, and the new dual track pulley. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5S-8hjsMr8
Ehi Mat, thanks for sharing! I will print one to test on a finger starter kit to see the effects.

@monnerby Hi mats Currently on vacation in Japan (they have some nice robots here too but InMoov is not popular here). I can’t draw you a picture with my mobile but look at this – the servo has to travel 17 plus 27 mm for complete opening and closing. Depending on the servo you have installed (my mg995 can do about 210 degrees) this will be…[Read more]
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]
Hi Mats I think I got your point. When doing my first pulleys I had problems that they interfered with the cover, adding a second track would require lower built servos or a modified servo-bed? And the string-guiders will need to be adjusted?
A litte update to expain the reason that I redesigned the servo pulleys. I use the fingerstarter to explain. In the first picture the hand is open and both lines are stretched. On the second picture the hand is closed, but the lines are not stretched any more. To close the finger the servo pulls about 27mm and releases 27mm on the other end. But…[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.
hi mats Maybe I see things the wrong way but I do not understand why you have to modify the pully. Set your servo to the middle position than add the pully with a 10 mm offset towards the closing side. In MRL define a mapping that covers the 44 mm range for the full movement with your servo?
Hi Juerg. Please post some pictures or a video of your solution.
Video of testing the new servo pulleys for the hand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwx3JIakDV0
Very good idea the “double pulley”. You get the same results for the pinky and middle finger ?
Almost. Even if the pinky moves a shorter distance than the middle finger, the ratio between opening and closing seems to be almost the same. I only use one pulley size for all fingers.
Very good idea!
I have made new servo pulleys for the hand. They have two tracks with different diameters, since you need to pull a longer distance to close the hand than to open it.http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1074604
This looks interesting – How would you describe the improvment to the hand’s movement?
To close one finger you need to pull 27mm but to open it again only 17mm, The 10mm in difference will result in that the lines easily fall out of the tracks, The servos will also have a deadband of 10mm before they start to pull, With this construction the lines will be stretched all the time, so the fingers will keep their position better.
The reason I am asking is if you think the springs that were introduced to keep the strings tight would still be needed ?
Good question. I don’t think that springs are necessary, but if you turn the wrist, the lines will be tightened. So you have to compensate for that by relaxing the tension on the lines a little,
Hi Mats Can’t really see why you want to modify the pully. Put your servo to middle position and add the pully with an offset to the closing position that will account for the different distances for opening and closing. The use the mapping feature of mrl to adjust the overall distance for your servo in use?
I posted an update to explain the probem.

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.

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]

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.

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.

For me the springs are rather an option to add a bit…[Read more]

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.
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:

I would like to add a bit more control of the hand to keep it more horizontally (things tend to fall off Marvin\’s hands). Any success stories or frustration reports about that?
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. I will upload the STL files when I get a moment. http://inmoov.fr/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/DSC07186.jpg The springs instead…[Read more]
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…[Read more]
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…[Read more]
@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…[Read more]
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

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

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 bought…[Read more]
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!

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. After spending a lot of time with aceton slurry and removing/reattaching the print bed sheet I print now only PLA-HT on a “never have to change” printbed.

Hey nice Marten!! I like that Carbon PLA. I remember the parts you showed me in Eindhoven, the quality was very good!

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.
3d printing with ease Please understand – I definitely do not want to create product placement in my blog – just let me tell you my InMoov printing difficulties. I first thought ABS and badly failed, nothing sticked to my print bed. Then listening and reading many experts opinions I switched to PLA. I gladly agreed because nothing worked with ABS…[Read more]

Hi Mats never seen BuildTak before but the web page promises exactly what I got with my material. I haven’t touched my printbed for 3 month’s now with printing times in average probably 3 hours/day. Juerg
It looks to be kept secret what material it is. It is also rather expensive but after having encountered so many problems I gave it a try (beside other materials) – and at least for me and my PLA-HT it works like a charm. When I compare ABS prints with the PLA-HT the second is much more robust (like I can not brake the large lower arm parts…[Read more]
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.
Replacement Servo for omoplate

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.
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.
