    • Quick and simple demo of full body animation using a wireless x-y pendant. Lots of changes and stuff to share. I’ll refilm it later on this week when I have the next set of changes complete (with less noise and a clean desk)

    • Fantastic Alan… Best realistic movements so far, hands down!… I am working on a new inMoov which I am also planning some sophisticated movement management…

      • Did you create your own custom ROS package for this? I still use ez robot but would love to move up to ROS as it looks like much more can be done with ROS than either ez robot or MyRobotLab… I dabbled with ROS a while back so maybe it’s about time I have another look…

        • Hey Richard, thanks!

          Each toolkit has it’s own benefits. There’s a nice community built up around InMoov+MRL, so it’s a great way to get started without writing everything from scratch. Another R.S.S.C. club member is building an InMoov using EzRobot, and I think there are some others on the forum as well.

          I went with ROS because I wanted to…[Read more]

    • Great work, superb work full of fluidity,. Gestures follow like water in a river.
      Friendly
      Sy.

    • Looks great!

    • A very late comment to your great work using ROS in conjonction with InMoov.
      I had shared your great video on my Google+ page right after you posted it.
      Thanks for your video, I really enjoyed looking at InMoov moving so gracefully.

      Hi Alan
      Just made first steps with ROS and found the github-links. So I have inmoov_model-master.zip and inmoov_ros-master.zip
      Can you point me to a tuto where to place the files and probably even make it run?

      • Hey Juerg, Firstly, follow all the tutorials to install and set up ROS. Then, you should be able to follow the README.md from here:
        https://github.com/alansrobotlab/inmoov_ros/tree/master

        After you get everything set up, you’ll most likely want to run the urdf model in rviz, using this command:
        roslaunch inmoov_description display.launch…[Read more]

          Thanks Alan
          Started the beginners tutorial and had a look at your linked tuto.
          As I just recently installed ROS I got the kinetic version. Looks like I have to wait for a fitting Moveit version. But as the package looks rather big and complex I will anyway need to work myself through all the tutorials first.

          • Yep, I have a new SSD with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and ROS Kinetic waiting for MoveIt to be released. They’re very close to their first release. Until then, you will have some time to familiarize yourself with the core ROS concepts, go through the tutorials, and control the urdf model in rviz.

            If you haven’t found it already, Jason has published his…[Read more]

            • Hi Allen
              Spent some time to try to make inmoov run with kinetic . Found a few issues with scripts (renamed .py file, missing include vector, boost shortcomings but was finally able to run setup_parameters.py
              As I run unbunto on my PC in a VirtualBox I assume it is correct that the servobus.launch complains about missing ports.
              trying to run rviz…[Read more]

            • Hey juerg,

              I haven’t moved everything to ROS Kinetic yet, but I’ll keep an eye out for the issues you’ve shared.

              Unfortunately, the glue code in the ROS stack that I’ve published will only work with my robot, but it is a great starting point to integrate ROS into your bot.

              You should be able to run the urdf model in rviz, then write python…[Read more]

    • Nice work Alan,

      Any idea when you will be releasing the demo? I’d love to try it out
