Intro
InMoov is the world’s first open source, 3D-printed, life-size humanoid robot, created by French sculptor and designer Gaël Langevin. The project began as an artistic endeavor and evolved into a platform for robotics learning and development. Its objective is to democratize robotics by providing freely available 3D-printable files and encouraging community collaboration. InMoov has inspired many projects in prosthetics and robotics education, and continues to be developed by a global community of makers and programmers
Robots
InMoov Life-size Humanoid Robot:Constructed entirely from 3D-printed plastic components, controlled by Arduino microcontrollers, and powered by open source software. It can see, hear, speak, and move its head, arms, and hands. The robot uses MyRobotLab for control and can be programmed for various tasks, including voice recognition and gesture control. Its modular design allows for customization and expansion by the community.
Specialism
Open source, 3D-printed humanoid robots for education, art, prosthetics, and maker/developer experimentation.
Business Viability
As an open source, community-driven project, InMoov does not operate as a commercial business. Its viability is measured by ongoing community engagement, widespread adoption in education and maker spaces, and its influence on the open prosthetics and robotics movement. The project is funded by donations and personal contributions from its creator and supporters.
