• Printing another InMoov, because the original is going to stay home. It is a precious robot now!
    Having a second printer makes it fast, specially because I updated the firmware to Sailfish on the CTC printer.
    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]

  • My printer is out of work for a moment… Gee what a smell, if you ever get your heated bed that burns out, you need to ventilate your workspace!! It took me a while to find a heated bed this size in Europe . 300x200mm. I finally ordered the PCB in Danemark.

    • 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]

      • @Geal I guess it’s beause your heating bed’s temperature sensor have loose from your heating bed!! I suggest you check complete all your 3D printer’s switch, sensors to prevent this happen again…

  • Hey I just fused under Blender my recent modified TopMouth and LowBack. Rotated at 45° on the Z axe and they actually still fit in the correct 12cm3 build area !!

    So now TopMouth and LowBack are permanently fused on the InMoov website. and can be screwed instead of being glued.
    Make sure to get the V3 version on InMoov.fr.
    I didn’t update my…[Read more]

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

      • 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


  • Small video to explanation the driving system of my plateform and the locking mecanism for to be able to push InMoov by hand while driving direction with the remote.
    I\’m in the process to make a very small remote transmitter which could be held within the palm.

    • 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]

  • Hi all, I am part way through printing the hands, but I cant find much info on the second servo for the thumb. Can anybody tell where I find information on this?

    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]

  • Gael Langevin posted an update 9 years ago

    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]

    Nervo Board
    Hello Gael
    Do you know when you will ship my Nervo boards? Money went from paypal on 9th October but I have heard nothing, the shop says on backorder now but didn\’n when I ordered.

    Thanks Richard

    • 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.

  • I just modified the CableHolderWristV4 to V5.

    It is now screwed with the servo instead of being glued to the servo.

  • Nervo Board
    Can anybody tell me if I need to purchase a second set of Nervo boards for my second Arduino Mega? do I purchase the same set as for the first mega and adapt? or is there a different set of boards to do the right arm and eventually the legs?

    Thanks

    Richard

    • 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!

  • Feeling like showing your InMoov is powered by MyRobotLab ?

  • Hello guys,
    Here are some more pictures of the new back for InMoov. It integrates a ThinkPad Tablet 8″ which can be replaced with other tablets fitting the same width size specs. A clip on, printed mechanism, makes it easy to insert or remove.
    Access to the two Arduino Mega and the Nervo Boards is easy once the tablet is removed.

    • 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.

  • Just got registered. Can anybody tell me how to get on the builders location map please.

    • 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:

  • progress so far, just started assembling shoulders, and had track humans working oh head and eyes.

    • Woooii nice! Cameras are set up and tracking working, cool !

      • Hi Gael very impressed with tracking works really well. He is in ABS stronger that way. Can you tell me if the jaw is supposed to move when you run the track humans script ? I am struggling with that at the moment and the jaw works when I manually test it but not when I run the test script from the site. I sorted the log my Inmoov out thanks.…[Read more]

        • Hello Richard,
          Which script are you using? And which version of MRL?
          The jaw moves when InMoov speaks even when it is in tracking mode.

    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.

  • I really think this member activity stuff doesn\’t work well. But I can\’t seem to find a better way to make. I hate the videos that are cut in half. Seems also that it is difficult for you guys to post comments, because there is almost never comments on the posted pics and vids. Any suggestion about that?

    • 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.

      I would also agree with dumping the update stream on the right side but leave the members activity button.
