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]
i like your choice color in your inmoov!!!
Thank You 🙂
Awesome, now we can go racing!! Thanks for all the links. I am still using a huge Transmitter gracefully given by Alessandro during the Paris Makerfaire, but I really want to build something much smaller which could transmit directly to the receiver. 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.
Oh man, what was the trouble? Can you describe?
It took awhile for my login to register on this page. I was logged in instantly on the other pages. Sorry, false alarm.

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. I created files that are simple to print with no support besides for EyeSupport and they require no modifications of EyeGlass (Face). Also I managed to use the same…[Read more]
Awesome Gael and thanks for the files and the tutorial.
Thank you Gaël , i cant wait to start the head !
Last night InMoov had something of a Picasso painting… Modifying the eye mecanism to adapt a mix of Mat and Bob to be able to use my previous face design along with the Hercules camera and the DS929HV servos.
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]

Happy HALoween !
WOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tip i used to print special parts without support like this . Epoxy glue and hotted metal nail inside
Still printing, but all looks good to me: https://copy.com/7NkaxvRHL1W64ZKo
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 🙂
I need to improve cooling, sorry the fishes for the hack i try something : air-pump flow ( i need better pump, flow is not strong enough ) : http://lerendezvousdelaterre.com/tmp/aqua.jpg
Yeh I remember it’s like paper printers ! This is support killer : I dont need glue anymore but 6 hours … 🙂 Print is perfect 80% infill inside http://lerendezvousdelaterre.com/tmp/support-killer.jpg
Hi robots it’s for your own good ! Intensity sensors . The problem is if we want monitor all the servo , there is lot of wires…
I hope this will give the option to monitor each finger. As you can see, the value isn’t straight (it’s now a pulsed signal) because of the 50HZ servo position update/feedback timing. I think we need something like a RC (Resistor/Capacitor) network, to filter the 50HZ to a constant…[Read more]

Thanks, You are going to print the new release with bigger letters. Please send a picture of Kim with his shoulder cover 🙂 I called my InMoov Airwin
Yes the bigger letters make it easier to see them!
The new version has bigger letters indeed and filet around the edge.
I just modified the CableHolderWristV4 to V5.
It is now screwed with the servo instead of being glued to the servo.

Good idea, Gael, about an adjustment to prevent cross eyes. I have designed a new part that will allow for that adjustment. I have added it to the STL’s on Thingiverse.
Ah perfect! Hey but you can add comments? So it works now for you the community?
Hmmm, that’s strange that it shows up here but I can’t see my comment on the main Community page

Sorry for posting so fast Just got excited when I saw the pictures from your trip you posted, when do you think you will release them?
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 works perfecly. thanks (Just need to install the adafruit library) I don’t check if MyRobotLab already have added the NeoPixelRing service ?
Good! Well, no the NeoPixel Ring is not yet implemented in MRL. It actually means, it needs to run on a seperate Arduino dedicated only for that function.
hello what is the model for the stomach NeoPixel Ring it’s 12, 16 or 24 led?

yeah that is likely possible!
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.

To Fred and others: https://groups.google.com/group/inmoov/attach/151d3d256a4108f0/spring%20tensioner1.jpg?part=4&authuser=0 This is how I see a spring added to the retraction tendon. In this set up we avoid forcing on the servo either way of rotation and it also avoid losing tension in the tendons.
Have you already tried this ? If so, what kind of spring do you use, and where to buy it ? 🙂 (ok, I’m lazy 😉 )
No I haven’t tried yet, I want to order a box of various springs on ebay.

I’m not really into site programming but when you go to activity the bar on the right is not needed any more. if this is removed you might have more room for the videos.
for the comments, Im looking almost every day to see what others are making. the comments are sometimes low but I think lots of people are watching.
