Impression of Humanoid Robot

Boxing Humanoid Robot

In 2008, Nao robots played soccer for the first time in Robocup in Suzhou, China. This robots are developed to play soccer and for entertainment (e.g. dancing, interacting with children). This report presents that using different motion planning methods (e.g. inverse kinematics, RRTs, potential fields), allows this robot to do more complicated tasks like boxing. The main challenge is to deal wi...

TH-MOS: Humanoid robot

This paper describes the mechanical, electrical and software design of the humanoid robot systems by TH_MOS in KidSize competition RoboCup. The improved MOS_III and newly designed MOS2007 perform as test bed for multiple research fields in the lab, such as locomotion, dynamical vision processing, robot behavior control. A gait planning strategy is proposed and a vision processing method is impl...

Humanoid Drawing Robot

This paper discusses a drawing robot. ISAC, a Dual Armed Humanoid Robot, explores the relationship between technology and creativity. The problem of tracking and mimicking an artist is analyzed. Control of the end-eeector with force sensors is described. Some initial results are given.

Humanoid Robot Balancing

Humanoid Robot Navigation

As the capabilities of the mobile robots as well as their abilities to perform more tasks in an autonomous manner are increased, we need to think about the interactions that humans will have with these robots. Human-robot interaction (HRI) has recently received considerable attention in the academic community, government labs, technology companies, and through the media. The interdisciplinary n...
