Postural primitives: Interactive Behavior for a Humanoid Robot Arm
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the implementation of reex action for the arm of the humanoid robot Cog [5]. A set of biologically inspired postural primitives are used to create the arm motion. The primitives are combined in di erent ways to achieve reaching with grasping and withdrawal reexes, allowing the arm to interact safely with both objects and people. This paper describes the re exes, the biological inspiration for the control, and includes data collected from the robot.

Parametric Primitives for Motor Representation and Control
The use of motor primitives for the generation of complex movements is a relatively new and interesting idea for dimensionality reduction in robot control. We propose a framework in which adaptive primitives learn and represent synergetic arm movements. A simple and fixed set of postural and oscillatory primitives form the substrate through which all control is elicited. Higher level adaptive p...
متن کاملFlexible Foot/Ankle Based on PKM with Force/Torque Sensor for Humanoid Robot
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 کاملReinforcement learning of motor skills with policy gradients
Autonomous learning is one of the hallmarks of human and animal behavior, and understanding the principles of learning will be crucial in order to achieve true autonomy in advanced machines like humanoid robots. In this paper, we examine learning of complex motor skills with human-like limbs. While supervised learning can offer useful tools for bootstrapping behavior, e.g., by learning from dem...
متن کاملRobust Range Data Segmentation using Geometric Primitives for Robotic Applications
This paper presents a data-driven approach for segmenting range data to enable a humanoid robot to perform interactive domestic tasks. Range data is segmented into geometric primitives (planes, spheres, cylinders and cones), allowing the robot to recognize many simple objects. The algorithm calculates initial segments using depth discontinuities, creases and changes in surface type, with subseq...
متن کاملBiologically Inspired Locomotion in Humanoid Robots
In this article, we present a biologically inspired behavior-based locomotion approach for humanoid robots. On the low level, locomotion is realised by a combination of rythmic pattern generators to produce walking motions and postural reflexes which keep the robot stable and balanced. A higher level behavior could achieve goal-directed movements by exerting influence on the low-level behaviors...
