Kinematics design and human motion transfer for a humanoid service robot arm
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses firstly, on the kinematics structure required for a humanoid service robot arm and secondly, on transferring human motion obtained from visual motion capture to the humanoid arm. The kinematics structure of a ten Degree of Freedom (DOF) humanoid arm which has a two DOF shoulder girdle and has a four DOF glenohumeral joint is presented. A method of obtaining the sternum position, which forms the movement reference frame for the ten DOF arm, is formulated from human motion capture data. The method is based on clavicle and spine workspaces. Results show that the sternum formulation corresponds well to the actual sternum position.

متن کاملHuman-like motion of a humanoid robot arm based on a closed-form solution of the inverse kinematics problem
Humanoid robotics is a new challenging field. To cooperate with human beings, humanoid robots not only have to feature human-like form and structure but, more importantly, they must possess human-like characteristics regarding motion, communication and intelligence. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for solving the inverse kinematics problem associated with the redundant robot arm of the h...

The control system of a robot operating in a human-centered environments should address the problem of motion planning to generate collision-free motions for grasping and manipulation tasks. To deal with the complexity of these tasks in such environments, different motion planning algorithms can be used. We present a motion planning framework for manipulation and grasping tasks consisting of di...

Interactions of a humanoid with a human are important, when the humanoid is requested to provide people with human-friendly services in unknown or uncertain environment. Such interactions may require more complicated and human-like behaviors from the humanoid. In this work the arm motions of a human are discussed as the early stage of human motion imitation by a humanoid. A motion capture syste...
متن کاملA Low Friction Demanding Approach in Gait Planning for Humanoid Robots During 3D Manoeuvres
This paper proposes a gait planning approach to reduce the required friction for a biped robot walking on various surfaces. To this end, a humanoid robot with 18 DOF is considered to develop a dynamics model for studying various 3D manoeuvres. Then, feasible trajectories are developed to alleviate the fluctuations on the upper body to resemble human-like walking. In order to generate feasible w...
