I wish that works, it’s a great Idea

Hello Marten. I came to that exact same conclusion last night while assembling my tendons. They have been very finicky and I am not confident the spring system will hold up. The wrist rotation really plays with the tensions and geometries. I was thinking of a system where the lines ran through the centerline of the wrist. The servo can be moved…En afficher davantage

Awesome Marten… going to try these servo pulleys with my new inMoov I am currently building… good work man…

Great Marten! I want to see when the pulley is set in the servo bed how the servos are acting. As I said in our email exchange, I have burned so many MG996 and MG995, that I do not trust those servos anymore. I never, yet burned a HK15298.
Initially when I created the pulley and the servo bed it was for to solve a restriction rotation of 90…En afficher davantage

Looks great. Exciting. what pulley designs are you using?

They may save weight but they may not be strong enough for the inMoov hand… The hand is not the same as the finger starter. There is a lot more friction on the push/pull finger mechanisms. The servos need to work much harder than the simple finger kit… However, let us know if they work because less weigh is always welcome…

I will use your idea in my Inmoov Rigth Hamd

Great video Akash, I can see that you did great progress learning how to use MyRobotLab! Isn’t it great to be able to voice control the finger? Of course it means you can voice control all kinds of devices with MRL through the Arduino. Check the various services, like camera, tracking, I ‘m sure you will find all kinds of projects to do!

I want to test these pulleys for sure! I’m guessing it will be also okay for our servos HK 15298 which have a restriction from 0 to 90 degrees.

Wouuii video great Martens.Did you use your carbon filament?

Hello Juerg,
Markus had posted all his mecanum wheels design here:

Hello Gael & Akash..
I am virendrasinh from Gujarat, India.
I am 4th(final) year undergraduate student of Engineering. I am also making INMOOV(awesome) robot(started before 3 months). I will upload post soon…
Thank You Gael for everything making Opensource.

Very cool Marten! Once the finger is assembled, a little video will be nice to see!

when trying to reduce the forarms weight – did you experiment with getting less weight from the printed parts too? Just had a chance to look at a fiber enforced part at an exhibition. It had a thin layer of fiber on top and bottom of the part (needs 2 extruders) but showed impressing strenght.

Hey Marten, that seems like a great modification. I have a question if you have a moment, since you designed the nerv boards. I have one servo (Rt arm omoplate), which when connected to the nervo board, gets hot and eventually burns when connected to the nervo board. The servo works just fine on a tester etc. I have seen in the tutorial, the…En afficher davantage

Hello Marten,
Very nice module for a Finger Starter!!!
There is no doubt that the servo of 2,5kg will work because even a small SG92R works. With the Finger Starter there isn’t much friction. But such servo will burn for sure if used in the hand. The friction is far greater in many ways in the hand, that is the reason even a MG996 of 12kg Torque…En afficher davantage

Hi akash,
Why do you try to use such an old version of MyRobotLab? OpenCV is missing something in that old version.

How to Start MyRobotLab

Hey Marten!
Great pictures, I hope the mini makerfaire was a lot of fun!!

Go to myrobotlab.org and ask your question, they will be able to help you out.

You need to correctly specify the path in the script:
gesturesPath = « C:\Myrobotlab\ProgramAB bots\gestures »

aimlPath = « C:/Myrobotlab/myrobotlab.1.0.1412/develop/ProgramAB »

There is a tutorial link next to the map. (Hopefully it still works)

Hmm, I meant I have *now* got it working. 🙂

Hi,
The Finger Starter is the index of the hand. If you are going to print and assemble the complete hand, you can re-use the index, but personally I like to keep the Finger Starter as a tester. Of course you can also re-use the servo motor and the Arduino Uno board. Though if you are planning to built the complete robot, you will need two Arduino…En afficher davantage

Very interesting Markus, I’m surprised how well the mini joysticks + remote are reliable to control the arms and hands.

brilliant, i knew i was hanging on to that broken chair base for some reason. Now i know what it is!

Nice to see that you have come that far with the build. I was a bit worried about the 3D printer fire.

I use the same chair technique on mine. I welded a section of pipe to it to bring him up to normal level. Slides right into Gaels mount.

🙂
The chair base brings me back to one of my old post:

Torso for InMoov on Cubehero

Great Markus!! This is cool to be able to control the arms gestures so easily.
Once in position, can you still « capture the gestures » by voice to compile them later into one gesture?

I recommend tevo tarantula i3. I use it for my prints. Print quality good and printer is cheap. You can buy it from aliexpress 🙂

Thats a good idea! Can you share details on how to install them?

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

Hi Robyn,
Congratulations for your record !!!
Say Hello to Markus for me 😉

Looks great Markus, where did you get the battery cover panel from?

Hey, this was awesome. I printed it up.

Thanks for your feedback, glad you can use it! You need to spread the face a bit when mounting it over the jaw mechanism but it wasn’t difficult.

Great job Markus!! I love your wheel platform, especially when i see Robyn driving!!

Thanks for sharing that video, Markus. Looks like it was a good time. Did Gael mention any time frame for the legs to be released ?

PS: removal of the slurry ABS on the glass after print is done, simply run under cold water tab and it will detach itself like magic. Dry the glass plate and you are ready to go again.

Hi Gael – great info thank you.what is the consistency of the ABS slurry you use. your prints are look great.

Hi Gael
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!

i am making inmoov right hand so can i get the Tensioner.stl file for it please i am not getting it anywhere can you please provide me the link of it

is last bronze pla ?

Nice set of test prints!
I have also tested nylon and carbon.

Great video Markus!
Always on the cutting edge!
I recently tested the webkitrecognition during an event and got a bit frustrated with the delay for to get the responses from the server. When the wireless connection is poor, InMoov has to « think » for very long seconds, it can be up to 20 seconds which feels like an eternity on the front of the…En afficher davantage

Uhh, Uhh, my printer manufacturer had changed his print bed product line to make it almost impossible to overheat it (you could fiddle with the control SW however).
I assume some workshops could run into serious problems having the printbed burning through.
Think about switching to PLA-HT (or HT-PLA) which is as good as ABS but prints on a 50…En afficher davantage

Hello Juerg,
Awesome robot!
I’m trying to see which appearance update Marvin’s recently got..
Blue super hero strips on the biceps?

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 🙂

no idea, what is this good for?

Aaaah the French beret!

Ah finally switching also to a more recent version!

ProgramAB with the webkit recognition works SO much better now.

Last version 1114 still had trouble with loosing an Arduino and the jaw got fixed in version 1113 by Kevin.

Wooooiii we are close to a steady version, waiting for it since more than year, ahaha.

Finally robots will ask for vacation time????
Nice setup – how can I book it for myself?

Ehehe, once again Robyn is enjoying life for our own pleasure!
Always makes me laugh a lot!
Thanks for keeping up the cool videos.

Ahahaha!
Always love your videos! You could get a sound added like a hard curve driving.

Hi Juerg. That looks really good. I ordered a set of 100 male+female 3-pin connectors based on your suggestion. I think that will be enough for the whole build 🙂

Hey nice MAKER suggestion, I bet it is going to help more than one builder. Thanks for sharing.

Woooiii, super cool !
I posted your video on my Google +
I want to test that it seems like a lot of fun!

This is awesome! The 2 topmouth pieces have always been kind of a pain to work with, so that will help alot.

Ahhh, great, I had started to add flabs n stuff to keep them from falling apart.

WOW! That finish looks great!

Does the mesh connecting the clavicles near the neck get in the way of the shoulder pistons?

No. as he is not having arms fitted, just head and sensors. he’s as big as he’s going to get!. I have another complete inmoov

Wow, nice finishing! How did you do it?

Hey nice work, looks great!!!! What are your plans for your « Desktop InMoov » ?

What a great concept Markus!
I will be glad to see that in Paris for the Makerfaire!
Where did you get those relay boards? Do you have a link?

Very good progress Amby with your robot! Is the wheel platform large enough to keep the robot in balance when you drive it around?

hello gael thank you yes the wheels plateform is enough for balance
all is ok with my prototype cardboard so now i start to build in wood

Thanks for posting this. It looks very good. But I think you have seen it on Markus build, not mine. So all credits to him.

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.

hello juerg interestinf wrist
thank you for show us

Hi Juerg,
Very good demonstration and video!!
This looks very promising for handling beverages and other delicate tasks.
I will Google+ your video and add the parts to the derivative collection because it’s very interesting progress.

Nice idea with the rechargeable batteries. What kind of motors are you using?

Very nice Amby!
It seems to have good speed with those electric car motors.
I really like your battery idea,! If I wouldn’t fly the globe with my InMoov robot, I would go for your solution!
Unfortunately we may not carry batteries like that in planes. The very common 6VAh batteries can be bought almost in every country, so when I arrive in a…En afficher davantage

Fantastic Amby, Whaoo two motors and two batteries !, you are ready for the InMoov Racing 🙂

Thanks Gael, now I see how it all works. I like how you can detach the drive wheel to push it around manually. See my comments on Sebastiens’s post.

@Bob, to answer your previous questions on Sebastien’s post:
The base can carry InMoov easily. You can add at least 10kg and the base can still ride fine as long as the floor is flat.
When I use InMoov in the street, the wheels can overcome some holes if it rides full speed. If you look at my video, you can see a battery carrier between the two…En afficher davantage

I like your drive system. Can you share some details about the components you used to build it – motors, servos?

Beautiful!
It is a shame and sad to hear about your printer. I hope you got an insurance or some options to get a new printer.
May 2016 help you for that!!

Nice work! It is amazing what you do with cardboard ! Can you share some information about the motors you used?

Amby the King of Cardboard!
As I commented on your post on MyRobotLab, you could make Thingy on Thingiverse with the DXF and all informations of the motors, wheels and sources. Some builders could reproduce it in PVC or plexiglas.

It is nice to see young people working on things like this.

Well Markus, this works very nice. I can see how effective this works, and the sensors seem to be working well.
I guess you could also use it to create gestures, if both arms were not coupled, using « capture gesture » voice command.

Yes i have both sensors working now thanks to Greg and they move separately.
and it is very easy to create gestures.
there are so many possibilities
for example interaction with people.
my experience is that many people want to touch and feel with their hands
and now Robyn will respond to that.

Nice work, Markus! I see lots of applications for these touch sensors. I have also experimented with them.

Nice works, Makus! I see lots of applications for these touch sensors, giving a robot the sense to « feel » is huge.

Amazing! Looks great, easy to imagine this in a variety of applications…

Super Great Markus!!
Actually we could make just a tactile bracelet for easy driving control!
That would be easier to make, because I remember you saying in a video, that it was a bit difficult to make the sensitive forarms sensors. And the videos does show the difficulties of the task.

Oh and I see that Robyn is getting ready for Christmas!

Woooi, might be a bit scary for children!! But I see the point!!
Does it blink the eyes lid?
Nice finishing surface on your prints.
Did you use car primer filler? Are you printing in PLA or ABS?
It is what I do when I want a good finish job surface for to gunspray car paint. But it works easy on ABS, unfortunately the results aren’t very good on PLA.

Hi Gael – It is a Carbon fiber reinforced ABS mix. I must say it prints very very well. it wears your nozzle out though. I had to replace my nozzle after printing a 1000 grams of the filament. still well worth the price of a nozzle. I purchased from 3DXTECH in the usa.
