Mats Önnerby posted an update 9 years, 1 month ago
I made a small upgrade of the shoulder servo. The small potentiometer broke, so I use a larger potentiometer with a 6mm shaft. It’s the olny part that I have changed,but I think the same principle can be used on all potentiometers. The new potentioneter can rotate 270 degrees instead of the original 180 degrees, so the servo mapping has to be…[Read more]
Hello Mats! That for sure is a safe pot!! But you didn’t use my latest pot holders, that means your parts can no longer fit PivTit and RotTit of the latest version… I guess, it’s because you already had PivTit and RotTit printed from the previous version. I like your little potentiometer board option, it’s handy for to simply disconnect.
Hi Gael. I added two versions of the pot holder to Thingiverse. They fit the latest version of the shoulder. One version is without the cable guide and the other with the cable guide.
Great Mats !

Robyn Inmoov practice accuracy
Very interesting Markus, I’m surprised how well the mini joysticks + remote are reliable to control the arms and hands.
Yes it works really good ! i need to practice a lot
Robyn Inmoov controlled by a Xbox one wireless controller
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?

Robyn Inmoov celebrating 50000 views.
Hi Robyn, Congratulations for your record !!! Say Hello to Markus for me 😉
Looking awesome now with the new back.
Looks great Markus, where did you get the battery cover panel from?
Hi! I printed a 2 mm thick and used a hot airgun to shape it.
Good idea, I need to do the same thing for where the computer goes, as I’m not putting a computer on my InMoov at this time. Maybe some one out there can make a filler plate for this space.
Did you do the same thing for the covers you have on the back of the Biceps?
No I found those on thingiverse
Waiting for my new back to be finished !

Printing another InMoov, because the original is going to stay home. It is a precious robot now!

I used to print on Kapton with the ABS but finally got to print directly on glass which is giving a super result and surprisingly absolutely…[Read more]
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.
The slurry is almost totaly liquid. It’s hard to say how much percent of ABS and acetone. Maybe 20 to 30 percent of ABS for 100 acetone.
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!

Oh yeah and it smells really bad in my workshop…
i can t think it is possible and so so dangerous
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]

Yes indeed, I also did a reprint with fused topmouth after coming back from India, the head had been damaged in the suitcase during flight travel. It is much easier to assemble now.
Well it took me a while but it is done!
New builders will have a lot more fun to assemble the skull now. I have set screw and bolts holders in various parts to make the last fit much easier. You can use 3mm screws and bolts to attach the parts together. I modified: -TopMouth -SideHear -LowBack
Ahhh, great, I had started to add flabs n stuff to keep them from falling apart.

I also realised some time ago that using the latest version of MRL which uses OpenCV 3.0 that I would get a low fps result. I was recently mentionning that to Grog and he said he would digg into it. So, using the Lenovo tablet touchpad with the version 1.0.107 gets me with a a fps of approximately 30. Using the version 1.0.954, gets me to a 7/10 fps.

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 🙂

Robyn Inmoov (skin) sensor moving the arms
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.

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?
hello Gael ! no i am not using mrl on the arduino i want to be able move around without the need of the computer so i am working on serial communication between MRL and the arduino sketch insead
yes i am planning to make it wireless
so i can drive around in (transport mode) with inmoov off and when i turn inmoov on MRL can control the wheels as well
That’s great plan! I use the remote control that Alessandro gave me during the Paris Makerfaire to ride InMoov around when I need to go someplace, but I would like to be able to use it also in MRL with voice control. At this moment if I use voice control to tell him to drive I cannot take over with remote control.
Working on it 🙂
Robyn Inmoov is practice driving .
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!

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]

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
I’ve seen the video and the results are perfect ! The option was more meant to update the Pulley’s for other InMoov builders, how like to use your Pulley’s, so they haven’t to cut anything 😉
From a math point of view, an excentric pulley will work very different. With two tracks, it’s just linear movements. The excentric can only work between very limited angles. With two tracks, you can rotate any angle. The ratio will still be the same.
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!
😀
Sorry forgot to ask if this solution need a different MRL configuration, if so can you be so kind to explain changes need please? Thanks again!
No change to MRL, except that you may have to change the max and min values for each servo that controls each finger, but thats someting you probably will need to do anyway.
Nice, thanks!
I added a new video to show the difference between the original servo pulley for the hand, and the new dual track pulley. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5S-8hjsMr8
Ehi Mat, thanks for sharing! I will print one to test on a finger starter kit to see the effects.
A litte update to expain the reason that I redesigned the servo pulleys. I use the fingerstarter to explain. In the first picture the hand is open and both lines are stretched. On the second picture the hand is closed, but the lines are not stretched any more. To close the finger the servo pulls about 27mm and releases 27mm on the other end. But…[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.
hi mats Maybe I see things the wrong way but I do not understand why you have to modify the pully. Set your servo to the middle position than add the pully with a 10 mm offset towards the closing side. In MRL define a mapping that covers the 44 mm range for the full movement with your servo?
Hi Juerg. Please post some pictures or a video of your solution.

This is Kim looking at her new head this is a combination of monnerby head and bhouston eyes I like the jaw and neck movement of monnerby’s design and the eye movement of bhouston’s design, Thanks to both of them for sharing their files and of course thanks to Gael for all of his help and vision .(note the logo on left shoulder)
Very nice picture, oldfarmhand. It would be really great if you could post a video showing the difference in movement between the nominal and monnerby heads. Barring that, how would describe the difference?
more room in the head due to smaller servos, smoother eye movement,smoother mouth movement, more room to put speakers and microphones, less parts in the neck due to no gears, overall just a lot more room to add other items
Oh, is that all? :^) I’ll have to take a closer look at it as I would like to put an amplifier in there for the ear/speakers.
This site http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:994720

Hi Kenneth. Really nice to see that you spent the time to reprint the head,and that you like the result.
Hello InMoov Kim!! very nice looking prints!

Oh yeah I see it now!
Video of testing the new servo pulleys for the hand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwx3JIakDV0
Very good idea the “double pulley”. You get the same results for the pinky and middle finger ?
Almost. Even if the pinky moves a shorter distance than the middle finger, the ratio between opening and closing seems to be almost the same. I only use one pulley size for all fingers.
Very good idea!
I have made new servo pulleys for the hand. They have two tracks with different diameters, since you need to pull a longer distance to close the hand than to open it.http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1074604
This looks interesting – How would you describe the improvment to the hand’s movement?
To close one finger you need to pull 27mm but to open it again only 17mm, The 10mm in difference will result in that the lines easily fall out of the tracks, The servos will also have a deadband of 10mm before they start to pull, With this construction the lines will be stretched all the time, so the fingers will keep their position better.
The reason I am asking is if you think the springs that were introduced to keep the strings tight would still be needed ?
Good question. I don’t think that springs are necessary, but if you turn the wrist, the lines will be tightened. So you have to compensate for that by relaxing the tension on the lines a little,
Hi Mats Can’t really see why you want to modify the pully. Put your servo to middle position and add the pully with an offset to the closing position that will account for the different distances for opening and closing. The use the mapping feature of mrl to adjust the overall distance for your servo in use?
I posted an update to explain the probem.

Eye Modification for InMoov
Here\’s a link to a modification for InMoov\’s eyes. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1047175

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

Hi Gaël. I think the link should point here: http://www.thingiverse.com/Gael_Langevin/collections/inmoov-parts-and-derivatives. Same problem with the link on the “InMoov parts and derivates” page and also on the “Build yours” page.
Yes thinks for pointing it out. Problem fixed.
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 😉

This is kim ( sure doesn’t look like a girl, must be a athlete ) like i said I’m running out of things to print I’ve been avoiding the electronics I just cant seem to get MRL to work right. But they have been working day and night to get a new version out one i hope that i can make work, can’t wait for that
Welcome Kim 🙂 Do you try MRL 1.0.107 ? It’s the “official working version with Gaël scripts” You can Dowload it on this page : http://inmoov.fr/how-to-start-myrobotlab/
Hello Sebastien Yes i have tried it the program works good i’m sure, Too many people use it the problem is i cant seem to get a handle on how to make it work i’m good at manufacturing and bad at programing. There are so many tutorials out there for MRL and when you try to follow one and apply what you learned you find out its outdated and…[Read more]
Hi Kim, Hi oldfarm, Very awesome progress on your build!! Last time we were on the shoutbox of MRL we did solve some of your problems of power issue, and you seemed to finally get your servos to work properly. You are still having trouble to get your InMoov working?
Hello Gael nice to hear from you! I was trying to get chat bot to work and kwatters ( smart guy ) had me to go to another version of MRL to get chat bot to work which it did but then when i tried to use the inmoov section of that version of MRL see (description) The following line should be using the MarySpeech to do speech synthesis. The only…[Read more]
Understood. Just to let you know, if you don’t already, you can create a new folder/directory for each version of MRL. This way you can keep a folder with a working version and set a beta version in another folder for to test new things. This avoids crunching a good working version. In C/myrobotlab folder I have: -myrobotlab 1.0.63 -myrobotlab…[Read more]
WOW! i dint know that thanks so much for the help

Here’s a video I made awhile ago of My InMoov doing some math.
Hello Gael I\’ve finally printed my way down to the stomach (Started at the finger) and I was wondering when you might release the abdomen like i saw on your video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G8FDBgAxu0 I sure am looking forward to it. Now About those legs 🙂 Thanks for giving this project
We want pictures!!! Ehehe! As you may have read on the forum, I didn’t release these parts because they are directly related to the leg mechanisms which are under development. These parts are obsolete for that matter, I rather upload the parts when I’m sure to be satisfied the whole structure. But be happy, I have been working on InMoov’s back,…[Read more]

I had several ideas when I started to print the head. The large servo was more expensive than a small, so I tried to replace it with a standard size sero. I also wanted to mount a better camera in the head than a USB camera. My modified head contains a Raspberry PI 2 with a Raspberry Pi Camera module mounted in one of the eyes. It also contains…[Read more]
wooouu, setting the brain in the skull. What sort of camera did you set in? I tested my full InMoov with the Raspi2 and was a bit disapointed with latency. The Odroid U3 was also having latency… Let us know your Rasp2 acts when you will be using speech recognition along with OpenCV tracking, so we can share comparison.
I use a Raspberry PI Camera module connected directly to the Raspberry CSI port. I has really good quality for still pictures and video stream is OK. I tried to use it with MRL and the OpenCV service, but I got some error messages. I will sort it out with the developers of MRL. Thay are all very nice, skilled and helpful people.
Others have tested the Raspi Camera module into MRL with success. Your errors might be related to which version of MRL you are using. When I tested the camera with the Raspi2, I was using version 1.1.107 and it was working fine, though with latency.

This is a part of the Bicep. I use PLA, and it's not as soft as ABS. So when I tried to mount them together, it was impossible, because it wouldn't flex. But PLA gets soft at relativley low temperatures, so I used a heatgun at a low setting to heat the connections. After heating the plastics for a short while, it was easy to mount them together.…[Read more]
Great idea, I’m sure this will a lot of builders using PLA!
I should add this suggestion in the tutorial for PLA users if it is okay with you.
Yes, please. The main reason for me to share my experences is to help other builders.
Mats Önnerby uploaded a new picture: 20150907 012.JPG 10 years, 3 months ago
Hand and forarm printed in black PLA. I use recessed M3 screws to hold it together. I drill a 3mm hole in the part to be mounted. In the part that it should be mounted to, I first drill a 2.3 mm hole and then I use a 3mm taps to make a thread. It's not easy to make the thread straigth by hand, so I mount it in a drill.The 8mm screws are made from…[Read more]
Tabing the holes really helps, it is what I also do. Unfortunately not everyone has this kind of tools. Great work by the way!
Nice new website look.

Some time ago I was in Poitiers, invited for the Gamers Assembly by Quai-Lab. I met some young fellows that wanted to build legs for InMoov following good dimensions and my 3d view concept. Here is what they have achieved so far, they started to print them as…[Read more]
Really cool!
I hope and i pray that our Inmoov will get legs!!!

Но главным детищем Яна стал «InMoov». Это робот, напечатанный на 3D принтере с программным кодом управления, взятым из «open source». InMoov build by Ian, a Russian student.
Here is Bob’s base for his InMoov. Nice and clean job, we can’t wait to see it moving around a little further.

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!!
thanks! yes i am ready for paris!

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?
Gael Langevin posted an update 10 years, 10 months ago
For the fun, what if we print a big hexapod for InMoov
Inmoov looks like something from Outer Limits.
Many will need to print, but the robot will go 🙂
Sooner or later, someone will make…
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.

Ah yes I had seen your post, but I couldn’t find in which topic it was posted. It is a good idea of course, as a temporary feature. I was thinking of using an assisting walker for the beginning. And then when we figure a better way for the robot to walk, we could remove it. And let him fall.…[Read more]
InMoov Bartender. Very cool video! Richard has done a very good job with his InMoov Andrew.

InMoov DJ !! After doing party, Robijn is now choosing his own MP3’s. Are you using Random the way it is used for talking?
Take a look at the script. http://myrobotlab.org/content/robyn-inmoov-playing-random-mp3-files#new
Robyn Inmoov starts listening.
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?
it is the microphones! check out the script i am working on. http://myrobotlab.org/content/robyn-inmoov-starts-listening#comment-4780
