    This is InMoov implemented in ROS URDF. This is the first step before you can integrate him with other tools, like Gazebo simulation or MoveIt! inverse kinematics and pathing. There’s alot of work left to do, but it’s coming along nicely.

        Gael Langevin replied 9 years, 8 months ago

        The slurry is almost totaly liquid. It’s hard to say how much percent of ABS and acetone. Maybe 20 to 30 percent of ABS for 100 acetone.

      I still think you should give HT-PLA a try and use a print plate that will not need any slurry or tape and allows to remove items by just picking them up from the cooled out print bed!

      Has anyone considered how much weight is being carried by the tiny little screw down the centre of the servo drive shaft that holds the horn onto the shaft? How big is on those servos, 1.5-2mm, 3 maybe?

      • Profile picture of Alan Timm
        Alan Timm replied 9 years, 9 months ago

        Ya know, it’s an interesting question, and I don’t know what shear point is for the 2.5mm machine screw used. But in all cases where I’ve broken something, the plastic snaps well before the screw does. I’ve never had a problem with the servo horn set screw.

        • Profile picture of Reece
          Reece replied 9 years, 9 months ago

          Not just the screw but the little thickness of the plastic horn under the head of the screw also.

          • Profile picture of Gael Langevin
            Gael Langevin replied 9 years, 9 months ago

            Until now, 3 years of demos, I didn’t see issues with the horn part at screw level.
            Because I printed my parts in ABS with a 3 shell perimeter I never broke any of my bicep parts besides the early pistons which had a smaller diameter.
            So I’m guessing this beefier remix is ready for combat!

      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,

        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.

          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.

      Pulley rotates 90 degrees because the HK15298B digital servo recommended for the hand rotates only 90 degrees.

      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 😉

        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 :

          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.

      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.

      • Profile picture of Marten de Groot
        Marten de Groot replied 10 years, 2 months ago

        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.

      Ahaha, one has a too big head and the other a very tiny. I see the caps came alright. What do you think about the quality? It was difficult to find a good supplier which could do embroidery at a reasonable cost on a quality cap.

        I think the quality is great, not like most caps I see today. Well built!

          Gael, what about anthropomorphic legs?
          What if to attach the tail with the wheels to the back the of the robot. The tail will confer resistance. The wheels can spin in one direction only.

              Ah yes I had seen your post, but I couldn’t find in which topic it was posted.
              It is a good idea of course, as a temporary feature.
              I was thinking of using an assisting walker for the beginning.
              And then when we figure a better way for the robot to walk, we could remove it.

    Working on some linear drive designs for some legs, tests are looking good so far.

      I have been working on a small version as well and was planning to post the modified STL rather soon actually on the site. I printed only the torso and the right arm until now., but haven’t tested the actuation.
      The eyes are nice indeed!

      Great, how does it “feel” you stand on a certain side? Is it because of the sound or is it with infrared sensors?
      Don’t the microphones get disturbed with the buzzing noise of the servos of the head?

      Hi Markus, is the keyboard connected in bluetooth to the PC?
      If yes, is it something you implemented into the script or is it implemented above MRL?

    Finger Tip Sensors. Hi Gael, do you have any information on how to connect the sensors and or wiring besides the Assembly hand guild? I am not sure on what control board to uses.

      The sensors are connected to the Nervo shield board. The best is to add some resistances for each sensor connection.

      It is not because you bought the CD, that you can use it as a soundtrack for your video. Which is a delicate combination on your video.
      By the way, it is interesting what you did with the EZ leds in the chest.
