Walking biped humanoids that perform manual labour.
نویسنده
چکیده
The Humanoid Robotics Project of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan realized that biped humanoid robots can perform manual labour. The project developed humanoid robot platforms, consisting of humanoid robot hardware and a package of fundamental software, and explored applications of humanoid robots on them. The applications include maintenance tasks of industrial plants, teleoperation of industrial vehicles, cooperative tasks with a human, guarding the home and office and the care of patients in beds.

Compliant ankles and flat feet for improved self-stabilization and passive dynamics of the biped robot "RunBot"
Biomechanical studies of human walking reveal that compliance plays an important role at least in natural and smooth motions as well as for self-stabilization. Inspired by this, we present here the development of a new lower leg segment of the dynamic biped robot “RunBot”. This new lower leg segment features a compliant ankle connected to a flat foot. It is mainly employed to realize robust sel...
متن کاملAdaptation in Bipedal Locomotion Using Phase Oscillator Networks
Stable and robust dynamic locomotion has been gaining increasing attention to enhance the applicability of biped humanoids to dynamically changing environments. In this work, we propose an efficient neural oscillator network that controls the phase of the gait by incorporating sensory signals detecting the changes in terrain slope. This enables biped humanoids to reliably control periodic featu...
متن کاملFrom Passive Dynamic Walking to Passive Turning of Biped walker
Dynamically stable biped robots mimicking human locomotion have received significant attention over the last few decades. Formerly, the existence of stable periodic gaits for straight walking of passive biped walkers was well known and investigated as the notion of passive dynamic walking. This study is aimed to elaborate this notion in the case of three dimensional (3D) walking and extend it f...
متن کاملThe VIKI Humanoid - - an example of embodied AI
As an example of a modern approach to artificial intelligence that puts emphasis on the balance between control, electronic hardware, material, sensory system and energy, we developed the Viki humanoid robots. In contrast to the top-down approach of equipping a humanoid with as many sensors, motors, power, etc. as possible, we developed a bottom-up approach to the construction of humanoids. The...
متن کاملSelf-Excited Walking of a Biped Mechanism with Feet
In this paper we present a theoretical and experimental study of the self-excited walking of a biped mechanism with knees and feet on level ground. This biped mechanism possesses a single motor at the hip joint and active lock mechanisms at both knee joints. We first show that the self-excitation control enables the three-degrees-of-freedom planar biped model with feet to walk on level ground, ...
