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?

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.

Hi, about the servo, the bigger one 805, i think you can look at ebay, i think you can find one seller….

InMoov initialized

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…[Read more]

wouaaa it is hotttt lol
amazing

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…[Read more]

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.

Let us know how this goes.
I can’t seem to find if the turnigy 1270HV is analog or digital, I would need to search a little more and surely find the specs someplace.
But I’m guessing this is going to suck up much more Amps from your supply.
Better get a good 30 Amps+ supply for your built.

Ahahaha!
Always love your videos! You could get a sound added like a hard curve driving.
Like iiiiiiiiiiiii
http://tubidydb.com/mp3/tire-screech-sound-effects.html

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.

nice work what is this servo motor?

Thank you amby! This is turnigy 1270HV 40kg servo. With some mods it can fit perfect.

Hello Agelos and welcome!
Thanks for your pictures and your great built.
Printing on a Mendel Prusa!!
Carefull the neck is reverse mounted…

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.

Super cool !!
Your choice of colors remind me of Leonardo’ super hero:
http://inmoov.fr/members/leonardo/album/
How is the Raspi doing for post processing video tracking on MyRobotLab?
I will post the Back Parts soon…

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…[Read more]

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…[Read more]

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

i like your choice color in your inmoov!!!

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]

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.

Hello Richard,
There isn’t much info on that, most information you will find are directly on the Thingiverse. I haven’t seen many hands printed with the extra DOF for the thumb.
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:28124
Hopefully, somebody will come here to help you on that here.

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.
I don’t remenber, did you use i2C to save analog entries on…[Read more]

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

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!

Nice looking base. How does it work? Do you have a video of it moving around?

Thank you very much, was waiting for him, it was what I needed.

thank you gael

Thanks very much Gael!

Very nice Juerg!! This looks awesome!
I like the accelerometer effect shown in your video. The place where you have set your servo is a place for to set an extra servo, so I’m glad to see you did good use of that space.
I see you added a piece to mount the rear part of the servo. In one of my previous design the servo was lining sideway at that…[Read more]

i have made some changes after this video because i needed more power to the motors but the sketch is sill basically the same

Markus, this is so great, I really love those mecanum wheels!
Are you using the Joystick service of MRL? Where did you get these cool little joystick? Can they work as remote control without cable?

Very cool, Markus! How do you have the controls arranged? For instance, how do you distinguish between “turn right” and “go sideways to the right”?

Woaaaahhh awesome!! Now its time to make space in the house to let InMoov ride around!!!
Just incredible to think you are able to build this wheel system with a 3D printer, ahaha! I have added your Thingiverse files to the InMoov collection. This is SO inspiring!

That looks great, Markus. I was wondering – how do you have your controls arranged to cause the 10 possible movments?

Awesome Gael and thanks for the files and the tutorial.

Fantastic,
Very Great Job, thank you very much Markus for sharing this,
Robyn is going to be able to do many tasks at home 🙂

Awesome Markus!
Thanks for sharing your work with the community!

Hi Markus,

Cool to see these results (I’ve seen your first video about this project at MRL)
It’s running fast to 🙂

I’m sure, Robyn will enjoy this new tool to.
Thanks for sharing this driving system for InMoov.

Aaah Markus, I’m glad you finaly post your video on InMoov site for other builders to see what you are working on!
Super progress!

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]

Hi Richard,
Nervo boards have been shipped with a delay because I didn’t have anymore XT60 connectors. The shop had a malfunction which should be fixed (Thanks to Sebastien) because it changes from “backorder” to “in stock” everytime somebody would purchase a Nervo board and vice versa.
But rest assured that it’s on the way to your address.

very well finished and alot gone into the finish of the parts by the looks of it. i like the led lighting effects. how did you achieve that, especially the eyes ?

Wow. That’s a high quality build. You must have spent a lot of time to make the parts look so good 🙂

hi rentaprinta how did you mount the neo pixel in the head and where ?

Nice video Boris! InMoov lights up for Christmas time!!
it’s nice when InMoov starts to talk through program isn’t it?
I heard you had to use keyboard typing during the Berlin Makerfaire instead of voice recognition, in fact I met Bodo Facklam in Roma.

Hi Mats,

Is this a option to use:
https://copy.com/1K7hNQFiuvHMBHUh
(sorry, there is no option to upload a picture directly in a commend)
As you can see at the drawing, there is a normal sized part (left side) and a smaller sized part (right side).
For the smaller side (with a oval form) you have to play to get the correct length you need.
If…[Read more]

Hi Marten. I just cut of a few mm’s of the hand cover support. It’s only there to support the structure during print. I don’t want to replace the dual track pulleys since they work very well. Have a look here for a demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5S-8hjsMr8

Maybe reducing the filet height for the tendon, this way the pulley would be less high and wouldn’t cause a problem with the covers of the for arm.

Awesome solution for tensors Mats!
Thanks a lot for it and for sharing it over thingverse!

Saved me $$ on springs!

😀

Ehi Mat, thanks for sharing!
I will print one to test on a finger starter kit to see the effects.

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]

Pictures were uploaded in a different order than I expected. So the last picture shows the open finger with lines stretched and the two other when it’s closed and the lines are not stretched anymore.

Very good idea the “double pulley”. You get the same results for the pinky and middle finger ?

Very good idea!

This looks interesting – How would you describe the improvment to the hand’s movement?

The reason I am asking is if you think the springs that were introduced to keep the strings tight would still be needed ?

looks good! i’m printing them to put on kim

The new version has bigger letters indeed and filet around the edge.

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.
Though I have been recommending 0.8mm braided fish line, you certainly could reduce the holes to let your 0.6mm go through. Also I would like to mention that my first design of the…[Read more]

Hi Richard! You have to buy 2 Nervo Boards, one or the right side and one for the left side. You would have free outputs in one of the Nervo Boards (because the InMoov for example only have one head) so you can use them in the future to add new moving parts to the InMoov.
You don’t have to adapt the Nervo Boards, are the same.
Bye!

Thanks for posting it.
Like I told you in our private email:
Awesome!! Totally in the InMoov style!
I will print a set today and let you know how it goes along with the mini breakout Nervo board.

So you impress us with a shiny underarm part! I assume this is the result from some additional treatment and not the output of your ultimaker?

Hello Jörg,

its a product of the ultimaker, but after printing i do a lot of polish and varnish:

Here is a manual how i do this:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/inmoov/pla/inmoov/a6z8a43DRmA/09L5B8eDtvoJ

Cool and sure, MRL deserved it to get placed at the shoulders from InMoov.

@ Bob Houston,

This looks awesome dude, great work and a cool upgrade to the InMoov !

I can’t wait to see some more video’s with the Eye tracking options 🙂

bonjour tout le monde!
est ce que bob Houston pourrait faire partager a la communauté inmoov les plans et les fichiers stl de son châssis et la colonne sur roue qu’on voit sur la vidéo youtube?
merci d’avance

That looks like a very good design I really like the eye movement

Hey cool ! Thanks for posting the video!! I love to see stuff like that. Yes the speed of the jaw needs to be increased. Bob Houston has made a remix for the eyes, I wonder if it fits in one normal InMoov head.

Hello,
I have found a pretty good solution last year. I didn’t post about it because I wanted to test it before. The hand was set up at an exhibit running the whole day for nearly two months, and the result was concluant.
I will upload the STL files when I get a moment.

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?

That is a really nice back. Looks good and will protect all the electronics and hide some of the servos.

Great modification! I’m printing it now. Thanks for sharing the STL’s.

Great!

Awesome work!
I like the way you re-arranged the space to be able to add the Raspberry and the Arduino. Does the jaw still have a servo attached to the mechanism?
I sure would like to see a video of the eyes in action!!
Thanks for sharing your modifications on Thingiverse, I appreciate you respected the licence. I have added all three links to the…[Read more]

Nice upgrade Mats 🙂
I’m sure it will be a EyeCatcher !

I hope to print the head after my Finger Sensor project… and will use your EyeCatchers 😉

Short circuits even with low power can set fire!!
I’m glad you got away with it!
These (below)are settings I use for to print the fingers, but you might want to go with a 100% infill depending on your material and printer.

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]

Clean prints in your how to! What resolution do you print with?
Your requirement for drill bits is slightly smaller than mine, it varies pretty much according to your printers settings and filament supplier.

Great idea!
I will add it in the derivatives library
http://www.thingiverse.com/hairygael/collections/inmoov-parts-and-derivatives

Oh please use the same licence cc-by-nc when posting remix of my parts, thanks

Fantastic!
Hobbyking must wonder why they sell sooo many HK15298B since three years…

There is a button above the map “Locate your InMoov”.
Then it will load the map (you need to have an Google account), or watch this tuto video:

A Perfect Print Bed is like the quest for Holy Grail. All infos about it are welcome.
What is the “rescue” material you finally use from mtplus?
I tried so many things and materials for the perfect printing bed before starting InMoov project. Blue tape, UhU glue on glass, Buildtak, Ninja Board, ABS slurry on acrylic, bakelite and so on. I use…[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.

Awesome good test and results! Thanks for sharing Juerg.
Definitely something usefull for to make the servos smaller. Speed seems to be the same as the HS805BB, what are the torque specs?

Very nice!
I see that you are becoming a 3d printer master after being the king of cartboard.
I’m guessing what we see is for the knee rotation, correct?
Did you finally use the motors of the drills you bought or is it with a servo.

yes you are true gael it is for knee
yes i am always the king of cardboard lol i do all my tests with cardboard and when it is good i do on abs
i use a drill motor for castorama 11 euros motor batterie charger ans very strong
