ok... inmoov is soooooo widely used, and sooooooo common amongst you guys, i want to make something special, with legs

ps i don't own a 3d printer

great video now i know for what the tiny rubbers are for. do i see one fault in the design,and that is the blue gear that going on the servo, has no inner gear.so when under stress the screw will come off.

You know what, I take my negativity back? DJ had mentioned if we were able to work together as a community I am willing to bet we (us as a collective) could possibly come up with a solution to get inMoov to walk ...

You could do it at our hobbyist level - but not with the weight of the inmoov and 3d printed plastic. The inmoov weighs an absolute ton compared to a robot with aircraft aluminum. The Darpa robots do cost a lot, but they're also university students and theoretical roboticists - which is why all the darpa robots are such a disappointment.

Richard r while i agree with what you are saying to an extent, i wouldn't actually go so far as to say a hobbyist level couldn't be achieved. you must remember darpa uses hi tech equipment and mostly steel components, while hobbyist use polyurethane plastic (or what ever is used commonly with the 3d printers), nuts, bolts, nuts, screw, ext. and a little know how, mostly from diagrams of ideas threw trial and error. i mean nothing is impossible i but if so off the community came together and though up some ideas and work together, they could most likely get the inmoov moving on a hobbyist level. i mean Honda's asimo started out as nothing more than just a pare of legs very much like the ones used in the xrobots channel videos and so did pet-man at one point or another and look how far they have come now, im sure they would have been able to accomplish they same results with 3d printed parts and servos as they would have with the original equipment they use now. nothing is impossible as long as you put your mind and heart to it.

Ok, if we were to do it at hobbyist level we need a few extras... (within the realm of ez robot that is)

1. aluminum frame, not 3d printed plastic
2. linear actuators and/or high powered servos
3. a reasonable grasp of bio mechanics
4. Hardware... the 4 in I and inverted pendulum
5. Some good programming

@Omegaproject great... but who is going to write the software?

programming is a breeze . Using the EZ-SDK and it's version of the AutoPositoner combined with the 4-in-1 will be enough. the EZ-SDK's auto positioner allows you to tweak the existing position of servos to maintain balance while performing auto positions. I actually designed it for a 5 foot tall robot I had planned. It was to be built out of Styrofoam actually lol

Sadly - no time
