InMoov, the humanoid robot

Functional description

InMoov is the first human-sized Open Source robot entirely printed in 3D. Replicable on any small 3D printer with a print area of 12x12x12cm, it is designed as a development platform for universities, laboratories and hobbyists alike. Its concept, based on sharing and community, has already been replicated for a number of projects all over the world.

Its creator is Gael Langevin, a French sculptor and designer. He has been working for leading brands for over 25 years. InMoov is his personal project, which he launched in January 2012 as the first open-source 3D-printed prosthesis, giving birth to projects such as Bionico, E-Nable, and many others.

We decided to build our own InMoov to test the limits of the fablab. Are we capable of carrying out such an ambitious project with the means at our disposal? How far can we go? We decided that our robot would be ideal for welcoming our users, and determined that this would be its primary function.

It took four months of full-time work to assemble the entire mechanical part of the robot. 

I'd like to thank all those who helped bring Écho, our InMoov robot, to life:

Monique Chartrand, François Auclair, André and Carlos
