Super cool !!
Your choice of colors remind me of Leonardo’ super hero:

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]

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.

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.

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 🙂

Yes Seem to work!
this bug make me crazy, just need to remove the test seb pseudo 😉

Cool, at last it seems to be resolving!!

beautiful!!!

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.

Awesome and great idea! It could be used for both type of potentiometer to simplify the download process.
I have added it to the Inmoov collection of course!

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!

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.

I will do a short demo video so you get the idea. still think I like the eyes…[Read more]

nice eyes. how can it see if they are screens? do you have a camera mounted somewhere else?

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

thank you gael

Thanks very much Gael!

Hi and Welcome to InMoov!!
Thanks for posting your pictures!

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?

Yes, this is a nice solution to adjust the pot position for square pot
Can you share the stl files on thingiverse ?
Thank’s a lot

Woooiii, pretty InMoov to be coming! A blue clone?

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]

WOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still printing, but all looks good to me:
https://copy.com/7NkaxvRHL1W64ZKo

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]

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.

Woooii cool

Hello Anthony,

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]

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 ?

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

Awesome!
I have added it in collection of derivatives.

Woouuiii !
Nice prints! Well now the forarm and you just about ready to have a Right hand!

@ 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

Nice!
So the white is the elastic cord and it runs all the way to the end of the finger, if I juge the white spot at finger tip.
What kind of elastic cord? Don’t you think it will stretch more and more over time?
I also can see the asymetric effect on the black braided line.

Interesting design! I like the idea to set the servo horn within the pulley. They might be a bit too thick to fit under arm covers though… Let us know.

Hi Marten
I think before changing the pullies we should agree what the mechanical requirements are for the fingers.
In my arms I use mg996R and they can turn about 110 deg to the left and to the right (total 220). So when Gael says he can move all fingers with the exception of the middle one with an unmodified HK15298 servo which allows only 45…[Read more]

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.

Hi Marten,
Nice work!
Did you post it on Thingiverse?
There is other derivatives there:

Hello Rosario,
Google translate doesn’t do miracles yet, ahaha.
Using the chatbot AIML files with MRL works only with recent versions. I believe the version 1.0.99 is too old for that.
Try the version 1.0.119.
Here on github there is the scripts of Kevin which I used to make InMoov use ProgramAB. Alessandro is also Italian and he certainly could…[Read more]

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 😉

Here the Arduino code, which has a servo slow function included:

#include

Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo

int potpin = 0; // analog pin used to connect the potentiometer
int val; // variable to read the value from the analog pin
int Pos;

void setup()
{
myservo.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9…[Read more]

For the site?
Thanks to Sebastien and Quai Lab who’s been working on it very hard! And still debugging some things!

Hey nice Marten!!
I like that Carbon PLA. I remember the parts you showed me in Eindhoven, the quality was very good!
Pulley rotates 90 degrees because the HK15298B digital servo recommended for the hand rotates only 90 degrees.
That being said, you can use any servo you like with Finger Starter and of course model your own pulleys. 🙂

Hey looks great. Many, many more parts to print however …
I give a filing to the finger parts where they move against each other because the printing in layers creates imperfect vertical surfaces.
I do not want your pieces get broken but does it feel like the you might brake the parts when assembling them? I broke several with PLA and ABS when…[Read more]

Great prints Marten!
In the video posted by Sebastien, the idea is great! Specially if you drilled the holes a bit too wide.
But be sure that finger stays loose, in the video they are stiff, rigid, and that is not okay for the movement. The finger should move freely at each joint.

Hi nuararosario,
Can you give more details about you have done and installed?
Does a simple test with Arduino sketch, controlling just one servo works?
Are you using the Nervo Board or did you build something yourself?
More details will give us info to help you better.

Woouiii you are going to make wonders with that printer!
You should have told me when we were in Eindhoven that you wanted to build the hand to make some tests with the hall sensor, I could have brought you one that I keep for my robot in case it breaks.
Yeah, print first the finger starter it will be easier. Let me know for the finger tip design…[Read more]

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

Ehi nice project Amby! some videos in action!! And specification details!
Controlled by MyRobotLab?
Other builders will love that.

One polymer artificial muscle can pick up 200g load with contraction 1 cm.

Cool that you are experimenting this also!!
I’m glad to see some other tests.
With the few tests I did with polymer muscles, I was a bit disapointed about the speed, and precision. Also as results due to the wire temperature, the polymer was getting less and less responsive and brownish.
Do you get good results, when you have two muscles, one for…[Read more]

Really cool!

I hope and i pray that our Inmoov will get legs!!!

We certainly want more pictures!! Great sytem for stand alone as well.
The legs seem a bit small in proportion, but it looks darn good altogether!! I bet the crowd appreciated.

The protocol supports recording scenarios behavior on raspberi pi too…

Nice! Are you using MyrobotLab for the Arduino control with the Raspberi pi?

Interesting design. Do you think the robot will be able to walk? I think it is still possible to attach a tail for stability.

Wooo iii nice posts all together and great job with the screen and legs!
I think there is going to be interest with the legs you made.
Are you going to share the files as Open Source for others to download? If you do, let me know I wlll add the link in the InMoov derivatives.

Nice work, Alex! Could it walk?

Until only bend and rotate. Пока только сгибаются и вращаются.

hello alex nice your legs? have you do a blog with your pictures or video thank you amby

Very nice! Where did you get the lower stomach and legs?

I painted…

Hello Alex! Really nice you Legs! Slowly the InMoov become a complete Body. Do you think in the future you will have STL Files from your Legs?

And this Screen? Is this the “Under Test Touchscreen” or you invent this. What is the screen for?

Big Greetinxx from Boris from BERLIN

I am interested in the chest piece with the 7 inch screen. I have would like to do something very similar. Can you tell me where you found the STL or if you designed it?

It is my design. I can draw bumper for you, if i will be know size of your tablet in millimeters. I use screen for demonstration of photo and video.

Hi Alex, would you mind sharing the lower Stomach/Hips? does the Hip bend forward? This would be great for what I am setting up for inmoov to travel. Thank you.

Ahaha, nice time laps! Once you will have the bottom stomach parts, you will need to remove the head to make him fit.
Ready for Paris!!

Ahaha, one has a too big head and the other a very tiny. I see the caps came alright. What do you think about the quality? It was difficult to find a good supplier which could do embroidery at a reasonable cost on a quality cap.

Very precise gesture, Markus!!
I had done a video where I was grabbing a ball via InMoov using the Kinect and it was very delicate to achieve, Ahaha

Interesting solution. Have you tried to take by two fingers some things?

Inmoov looks like something from Outer Limits.

Many will need to print, but the robot will go 🙂

Sooner or later, someone will make…

InMoov DJ !!
After doing party, Robijn is now choosing his own MP3’s.
Are you using Random the way it is used for talking?

hello Merne i like you small inmoov so cute but what is this eyes? so nice

Hey cool ! Good job!!
I have been working on a small version as well and was planning to post the modified STL rather soon actually on the site. I printed only the torso and the right arm until now., but haven’t tested the actuation.
The eyes are nice indeed!

Great, how does it “feel” you stand on a certain side? Is it because of the sound or is it with infrared sensors?
Don’t the microphones get disturbed with the buzzing noise of the servos of the head?

Hi Markus, is the keyboard connected in bluetooth to the PC?
If yes, is it something you implemented into the script or is it implemented above MRL?

The sensors are connected to the Nervo shield board. The best is to add some resistances for each sensor connection.
https://dlnmh9ip6v2uc.cloudfront.net/r/500-500/assets/e/7/2/5/5/50eb2efece395ffb21000001.jpg

It is not because you bought the CD, that you can use it as a soundtrack for your video. Which is a delicate combination on your video.
By the way, it is interesting what you did with the EZ leds in the chest.
Nice work!

InMoov stealing the toy of R2D2 for Christmas, Merne are you trying to irritate the Star Wars fans?

Hey cool, you got a InMoov cap!!

Very good job Markus!! Scary when InMoov lean sideway, I felt it was going to fall, ahaha.

Totaly effective. Grog suggested to get the opening of the jaw bigger according to the level of sound using software, that would be good too.

Great work!!

I know, it is a real pain. But I’m not able to fix it, only Leonardo could because I have no idea how to solve this. It is the “post” button that disappears.

Ahaha! I love it. When Robyn InMoov decides it’s party time, it’s intense in your home!!

Very nice Markus! Using a wide screen is good, I have chosen a much smaller screen to be mounted on the Odroid U3 and it is a bit hard to read on it.
Very interesting way of connecting the arms, I like the hdmi cables. What power supply do you use for the servos, Others might be interested about that.
Thanks for this instructive video!!!

Very beautiful design. We would like the photos with comments. You come up with the usage HDMI cable very nice.

Wow cool !!
The big screen in the background is nice for to work. Are you using MyRobotLab to do the visual tracking?

CYS model S8218
XQ-S4020D
Did both servos fit without modifications? Some builders are having trouble ordering my recommended servos.

Super! are you using the Neo Pixel Ring I use or is it done with color leds? If you use the Neo Pixel Ring, is it hooked to an extra Arduino or is it implemented within the two InMoov Arduinos?

Woo ooo, great idea! now InMoov can be made for domotic purpose.

very nice extra features for the Rock Paper Scissors play game. It is interesting how it seems like he really can understand what you are playing. For someone who doesn’t know, it can be very tricky.

Woo oo, big head !
I talked again with the guys from Seed and we should get it started, but I prefer not to say when because I don’t want to disapoint anyone about timing. It was supposed to be on sale for beginning september…

Did you finally understand how to use the potentiometers outside the servos or are you still struggling with that?

Very nice and clean wiring. What type of servos are you using?

Thanks for the link to the article. You do have a nice color mixture on your InMoov.
