    Looks like a fantastic build, loving the colour combination. 👍

    He won’t be destroying other robots. His main role is to teach my students about Robotics and AI. His secondary role will be to help teach kids sign language. The second part is not proving straightforward but, I enjoy a challenge. 😉

      I do remember seeing another design of hand created for the Inmoov robot by a builder that allowed side to side motion of some of the fingers.
      It was posted on Thingiverse.
      It does require more servos 🙂

    I really enjoy watching your videos Ray. The way you explain things is great. However I have a confession. I have gone over to the “dark side” that is ARC. I am now running EZ-B controllers and find the ARC software much more intuitive and simpler to work with. I have modified the Nervo Board to suit the new setup.
    Keep up the good work. Warren

      In the world of robotics, there is no dark side, unless you plan to have your robots destroy other robots ect.
      There is only different 🙂

      In any case, keep on building and posting your progress 🙂

    Hi. Which version of MRL are you running. I am not sure if it is the same on older versions but, on the latest version the mic turns of of a few minutes without speech ( to reduce false commands I presume) you have to click on the mic icon then speak. Hope that helps. Warren

    Thanks for the comments Ray. It is a 8″ Lenovo Smart Tab. It comes with a docking station that I have managed to fit in, this allows for some extra features built into the tablet plus charging.
    I basically due up a box in cad, then spent several hours shaping it to fit the chest contours (nightmare). The plan now (when time allows) is to merge…[Read more]

      I like the look of the screen in the chest.
      What screen is that, and are the STL files available?
      Looks like a very nice and clean build 🙂

    Great video Ray. I wish I was as confident at writing code.

      Keep in mind, I’ve been playing with this for 6 years now 🙂
      Confidence comes with time.
      If you go back an look at some of the very early stuff from Gael, he wasn’t confident with programming at all, Look at what he’s doing now and you would think he was a full time programmer instead of a best in field sculptor designer. 🙂

    Hi Ray. Thanks for taking the time to comment and the link. I will certainly take a look in my quest to conquer mrl. 😉

    Making decent progress. All neck and head servos fitted fitted and tested (just a basic arduino code) as still trying to get my head around mrl. Not using kinect so fired up Fusion 360 and then printed a new bottom chest. Is it just me or does anyone else find mrl tricky ?

      It can seem like it at first, until you get to understand how it works.
      Most of MRL is based around services, you can write scripts to start and configure service and then link services together.
      I have an all python example of writing a program within the MRL system to run an Inmoov robot.
      You are welcome to have a look at it.
      I have tried to…[Read more]

    Can I start by saying a huge thank you to Gael for this amazing project. I teach engineering and I am building InMoov with my second year students as a robotics teaching aid. I know we have joined the party late so the printer is currently running flat out producing parts. Will post some update pictures soon. Thanks Warren
