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...

Analytical Dynamic Modelling of Heel-off and Toe-off Motions for a 2D Humanoid Robot

The main objective of this article is to optimize the walking pattern of a 2D humanoid robot with heel-off and toe-off motions in order to minimize the energy consumption and maximize the stability margin. To this end, at first, a gait planning method is introduced based on the ankle and hip joint position trajectories. Then, using these trajectories and the inverse kinematics, the position tra...

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.
