UTCPrint Your Own 3D-Printed RobotBy Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai2013-01-23 07:34:45 UTC

We've all dreamed about having a robot friend, right? At least, that's the case here at Mashable. But there are other people out there who share our dream and are actually working to make it reality. Take Gael Langevin, a French sculptor and model marker who has been 3D-printing his own mechanic companion since early 2012.

Langevin started his project, called InMoov, by designing and printing the robot's arm and hand, but he has since built another arm and is on his way of completing the torso and the head, too. The robot can also understand voice commands and respond to them.

Judging from the pictures and videos available on his website, the robot looks impressive.

The good news is that you can reproduce it yourself if you have a 3D printer. Langevin is uploading the designs and specifications of his robot to the open-source 3D-printing repository Thingiverse. If you feel up to the challenge, you can already download some parts of InMoov through Langevin's website.

Langevin is also providing instructions on how to assemble the printed parts on InMoov's website.

我们都梦想着有一个机器人朋友，对不对？至少，这样的话在这里捣成糊状。但也有其他人在那里谁分享我们的梦想和实际努力使现实。以盖尔朗之万，法国雕塑家和型号标记谁一直三维打印自己的机械师同伴自2012年年初。

朗之万开始了他的计划，叫InMoov，通过设计和印刷，机器人的手臂和手，但他后来又建了手臂，是他完成的躯干和头部的方式了。机器人也可以理解语音指令并作出回应。

从他的网站上提供的照片和录像来看，机器人看起来令人印象深刻。

好消息是，你可以自己繁殖，如果你有一个3D打印机。朗之万在上传自己的机器人的设计和规格，以开源3D印刷库Thingiverse。如果你觉得准备好迎接挑战，你已经可以通过朗之万的网站上下载InMoov的某些部分。

朗之万也提供了关于如何安装打印件上InMoov网站的说明。
