Gael, any link to a blender or stl source of the jm3\assets\Models\*.j3o files? I did not find a program that converts j3o to stl. Maybe you can add them to the Gallery?
Hello, Yes good idea, I will add the latest InMoov virtual j3o file to the Gallery.
Hello, I added my latest j3o file to the site, but unfortunately it doesn’t display. Here is the link: http://www.inmoov.fr/wp-content/uploads/stl/InMoov%20Goodies/VinMoov4.j3o
Hi Gael Quick response – great!! Maybe a misunderstanding? I wanted to get the stl files from which the j3o files get generated. It looks like only JMonkey works with j3o files and I did not find a way to recreate the stl-Files from them. The link downloads the j3o file. I can also see a Download link in the Goodies for a complete model…[Read more]
Ah that is more complex to do. To create the j3o, I use Blender to assemble each parts such as head, chest… But each of those body parts are not exported as stl, but saved as blender files which are then imported into JMonkey. Here is a zip that contains all the Blender body…[Read more]
Thats exactly what I need for the parts representation. Happily exporting the STL’s now, thanks a lot! If I get any further with my model I will create a git site and make these visual parts available there if that is OK with you.
Good! Note that all parts are set to be at “rest” position in these Blender files.
Has anybody tried to create an InMoov robot with Webots? https://cyberbotics.com/#webots Looks to me like an impressive tool to visualize the robot in different environments.
Hello, This looks very interesting, I wonder how we could add it as a service into MyRobotlab. I see it’s open source and there is all links to github.
Hi Gael The bicep piston ruined my arm cable. Saw that we have e.g. RotCenterV3 now with ball bearings. I have modified RotGearV6 to provide channels for my signal and power cable and moved the pot holder to the inner side in RotTitV4 (provides a better angle for my cables going down). Now I wonder about the screws, M3 nuts do not fit into the…[Read more]
Hello Juerg, I use M3 nuts and bolts for the bicep. You certainly need to re-drill the holes, small holes tend to diminish a little while 3D printing.
Hi Gael Thanks for your reply. I know about the redrilling but the part has also deep holes for the nuts which will require a lot of drilling?
And how to post pictures?
Hello Juerg, Normally if the printer is well calibrated, the bolts and nuts fit without driling. If you ha already printed the parts and the nuts don’t fit, you can heat the nut prior inserting.
You can post a picture when you create the initial post, not afterwards unless you include a link.
Gael no sweat but measuring the parallel distance of the nut-holes in RotCenterV3 with netfabb shows me 5.2 mm. Measuring a M3 nut by hand results in 5.5 mm. So something is wrong in my opinion (nut holes in the part are not M3 nut holes, unless there are 2 different kinds of nuts for M3?
Mmmh interesting! I need to check what could have gone wrong with my measurements during re-design of the shoulder parts. The nut holes should be 6mm for to insert some 3mm nuts.
Gael Did you check this out? I also get the 5.2 mm on the nut holes in RotCenter V3. To check the calibration I printed the Calibration items, and it fits thight but perfect.

My Marvin got a new sensor, a Intel Realsense D415 to take depth images. I mounted it on the head with an angle that allows to see the floor in front of the robot. Mounting it on the head also allows for a good observation point and the head has a wide movement range. Adding an IMU into the head is probably the next thing to add to get more…[Read more]
Hello Juerg, The plan is to add the Intel RealSense in MyRobotLab, but I don’t when it will happen. Did you mount it above the head? or instead of the eyes? You should be able to post pictures again, there was an issue with WordPress.
Hi Gael I have to admit that I do not run my robot any more with MRL. It gave me too many problems with Arduino connections, it takes ages to start it up, it is overloaded with stuff I do not need. So I wrote my own servo task in python to control Marvins joints and have other python tasks to control the cart, read Kinect depth and cam images and…[Read more]
Thanks for the reply, However, could you make a test for us with the latest version of MRL( work in progress), just to check if the the depth image works out of the box with the RealSense? http://build.myrobotlab.org:8080/job/myrobotlab-maven/
Tried openNi but does not show anything (but also does not provide controls to select the streaming device?). Do I need to use another service?
No it should be with the OpenNI service. Have you tried the “CAPTURE” button? Do you get this red error line at the bottom of the swinggui? “found 0 devices – Jenga software not initialized :P”
When starting openNi I get “initContext found 1 devices” in the bottom line. Clicking on “capture” in the service page I only get “starting user worker” but no image. Tried all the buttons, no image is shown. Would be nice to see what device is connected.
Do you have other imaging devices connected or only the Intel RealSense? Maybe OpenNI detects another imaging source. We could try to add manually the drivers in C:myrobotlabmyrobotlab.1.1.173librariesnativeOpenNI2Drivers
I did that for my Orbbec Astra, it worked partially.The depth image is working but the skeleton wouldn’t get activated…[Read more]
hahh, still had my kinect plugged in. Without the kinect I get now this “Jenga software not initialized” message when starting the openNi service. I send you the pic of the mounted cam to your mail account.
Nice idea to keep the InMoov cap above the sensor. Okay so MRL.173 is missing the drivers for to get the RealSense working. I think these two files would need to be added in C:\myrobotlab\myrobotlab.1.1.173\libraries\native\OpenNI2\Drivers
copied these 2 files into the openni2 drivers folder but result is the same “Jenga software not initialized”. Any other steps required?
Mmmh, I think at this point only Greg or Kevin from MRL could get us further. It seems the version MRL173 (work in progress) doesn’t even start the software. Maybe the Jenga is momentarily deactivated. I will make a thread to this post on MRL site.
http://myrobotlab.org/content/getting-orbbec-astra-or-realsense-working
not a problem, I can rerun a test with an updated mrl version whenever it’s ready. Will partially be on vacation over the next weeks, so maybe no immediate response. Have a good time.
Okay, Thanks for the tests and have a good time as well.
Hi all, how are you getting on Juerg? I was just looking at the Intel offer “RealSense™ Depth Camera D435 and Tracking Camera T265 bundled together for one great price, and get started with your next project today” And am feeling I am going to go for it. But really thinking how can I integrate the D435 without ruining the look. I was thinking hig…[Read more]
Thought about the location too. I need to see the path my cart is moving on and first thought of mounting the cam on my cart. It would look nicer instead of the head location but the flexibility of the head makes is much more usable. From the picture you can see that the device is partially covered by the hat and it can be removed if needed. I…[Read more]
as a second thought: before you purchase the T265 make sure you understand how you can implement your odometry for the device. I read through the article and had no idea at the end of how I would have to accomplished this. My cart uses an encoder attached to one of its wheels and produces around 3 ticks per mm of robot movement.
Hi Juerg, Many thanks, really appreciated. I will go through more thought process. well done and many thanks for pathfinding with the Realsense. I believe that in time this will become the optimal solution over the Orbbec or the Kinnect.

Would like to meet InMoov builders in South Korea, beginning Sept 27.
Robot Autonomy 2 is available
Super cool! I am waiting to see the next video
Thanks Gael, it looks like you never get tired to comment on user actions. Feedback hasn’t been great so far (or rather is non-existent) but your note will motivate me to continue.
Well sometimes it takes me weeks before I do a comment. But what you are trying to achieve is trully interesting!
Check out my new InMoov video on starting to add autonomy to my robot
Hello Juerg, Super it will great to follow your progress!! Nice video by the way. 🙂

I have started to replace broken HS805BB with bluebird BMS L530MG (hobbyking). I have one for my bicep and another one for the neck. The bicep initially worked fine until the horn adapter started to slip (the lower arm is a heavy bugger). I recommend therefore metal servo horns with the bluebird servo. You need to order them separately.…[Read more]

An error in a script and an unreachable neck position – just burned another HS805BB so badly, it burned a hole into the case and I can still smell the odor of death when entering the house. I have added now readjustable fuses for all of my large servos (PFRA 160, Reichelt.de). Hope this prevents future smoke!
Thats a good idea! Can you share details on how to install them?
Sorry, yes, just route the connection from either plus or minus pole from the power supply to the servo through the fuse. The fuse is supposed to heat up with current flowing through it and increases resistance thereby lowering the voltage for the servo and make it stall. The fuse regenerates when cooling off. The fuse works in a slow mode so…[Read more]
Thanks juerg, I’ll check into it more as well.
mmm good idea, i add too some capacitors to prevent jitter ( i test it tonigh ) : http://letsmakerobots.com/node/12679
let me know about your caps result. I had an issue with a digital servo impacting another analog one. After connecting the dig servo to another power distribution point the problem resolved itself but having a cap for the signal lines looks to me like a more robust solution
I think we have the same problem, I have mixed dig cys and analog 805bb. I tell you the results soon
Update: Actually had a problem with left shoulder rotation servo (continuing small repositiong with growl) and after a while it stopped to move (fuse and servo rather hot) so the fuse did it’s job. Have added now the 104 (100nF) caps for all shoulder servos (between signal and ground) and as it did not completely stop the growl a lot of has gone…[Read more]
Juerg I just want to say : IT’S MAGICAL 🙂 . No more jitter or zombie servo when detach : https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10210323785361860&set=p.10210323785361860&type=3&theater
thanks, great picture but I do not use nervo boards. the pin right next to e.g. 12 is the signal line? the dark green edged pins are the + power ones? the 100uF ground side is on the signal? and 104 is a 100 nF cap?
the 100uF ( the big chimical, it’s bad we need ceramic ) is pluged to +6v ground power line . The 100nF ( The small 104 ceramic ) is pluged to each signal pin. ( +signal , ground ) The signal and the power shared the same ground.
Great! I remember a post on the InMoov forum mentionning something similar, It sure would be great to add that option on the next Nervo boards release.

Thanks, Gaël, my robot did not have colors at all before and I did a lot of grinding on the breast parts. Took me also some time to make the characters fit into the indents 🙂
Ah of course!! Marvin has a great look! Only the eye pupils are too small and it makes him a bit scary. 🙂 You could use the same blue paint for to color the eye rings

Hi Juerg, the route that Markus took with these connectors was very impressive. Marten, Leon and I had already been working on the Nervo Board and had started the first batchs when I saw his connections, other wise we might have proposed something similar.

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?
Wrist Range Probing my hand I I have about a 180 degrees range of turning the wrist, InMoov (depending on the used servo) about 110 degrees in my case.

Yes totally do-able. During my design I tested a winch servo which could rotate at 360 degree. What happens though is, more it rotates and more it pulls on the tendons.

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

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!

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.
