Myon, a New Humanoid
نویسندگان
چکیده
This chapter introduces the modular humanoid robot Myon, covering its mechatronical design, embedded low-level software, distributed processing architecture, and the complementary experimental environment. The Myon humanoid is the descendant of various robotic hardware platforms which have been built over the years and therefore combines the latest research results on the one hand, and the expertise of how a robot has to be built for experiments on embodiment and language evolution on the other hand. In contrast to many other platforms, the Myon humanoid can be used as a whole or in parts. Both the underlying architecture and the supportive application software allow for ad hoc changes in the experimental setup.

Concept and Design of the Modular Actuator System for the Humanoid Robot MYON
When developing a humanoid robot, the choice of the system driving its joints is of crucial importance for the robot’s robustness, technical reliability, ease of maintenance, as well as its degree of autonomy. Here, we present a novel, modular actuator system of the humanoid robot Myon. Both the concept of the actuator system and the composition of the individual modules which it consists of ar...
متن کاملThe Distributed Architecture for Large Neural Networks (DISTAL) of the Humanoid Robot MYON
Humanoid robots are complex systems that require considerable processing power. This applies both for lowlevel sensorimotor loops, as well as for image processing and higher level deliberative algorithms. We present the distributed architecture DISTAL which is able to provide the processing power of large neural networks without relying on a central processor. The architecture successfully cope...
متن کاملMyon: Concepts and Design of a Modular Humanoid Robot Which Can Be Reassembled During Runtime
We describe the design concepts of the modular humanoid robot Myon, which can be disassembled and reassembled during runtime. The body parts are fully autonomous in a threefold sense: they all possess their own energy supply, processing power, and a neural network topology which allows for stand-alone operation of single limbs. The robot has especially been designed for robustness and easy main...

This paper describes the development of a novel humanoid robot foot/ankle based on an orientation Parallel Kinematic Mechanism for intelligent and flexible control. With three identical Universal-Prismatic-Spherical prismatic-actuated limbs and a central Universal-Revolute passive limb, the PKM can perform three degrees of freedom rotation motions. In order to enable the humanoid robot safely t...
متن کاملMechatronic Hand Design with Integrated Mechanism in Palm for Efficiency Improve of the Finger.
One of the most important case in humanoid robot designing is hand, which it consider as an country development. High percentage of robot work quality depend on hand capability. A robot function increase with hand movement. One of important movement in artificial hand capability relate to fingers lateral movement. This case has more effect intake of special objects such as round shape or moving...
