Open Source Humanoide

InMoov

The life-size open-source 3D-printed humanoid started by French designer Gaël Langevin in 2012 — driven by hobby RC servos and Arduinos, running MyRobotLab, and rebuilt by makers and schools worldwide.

01 — Projektdetails

Überblick, Stückliste und Ressourcen

Overview

InMoov began as a single robotic hand and grew into arms, head, torso, belly and legs. It is designed in Blender, and every part prints on an ordinary desktop printer.

Fingers are tendon-driven; the head has eye, jaw and neck mechanisms; the open-source MyRobotLab handles speech, vision and gestures. It is one of the most common open humanoids in classrooms and exhibitions.

Bill of materials

The website BOM (2016) prices only some items — about €798 for those — excluding the NUC, cameras and most head/belly servos, so it is not a full-build price.

3D printing & fabrication

  • The official build uses ABS (≈1.5 kg for hand + forearm, ≈4 kg for head + torso); bond ABS with acetone and PLA with two-part epoxy.
  • Most parts at 30% infill, 3 shells, no supports; print wrist gears at the highest quality.
  • Download every STL by body part from the official parts library; the wiring diagram (Default Hardware Map) and parts list are on the website too.
