چکیده
This paper describes the most popular options that are available developers of intelligent humanoid robots and their advantages and disadvantages. There has never been a wider range of affordable and practical solutions for the developers of intelligent humanoid robots. This paper lists the suitability of the most common options such as microcontrollers, ARM based embedded boards, and x86 based small PCs and how well the meet different design constraints. Using an example from low level vision processing, the paper highlights common pitfalls when including these more complex embedded systems in their robot.

Complex AI on Small Embedded Systems: Humanoid Robotics using Mobile Phones
Until recent years, the development of real-world humanoid robotics applications has been hampered by a lack of available mobile computational power. Unlike wheeled platforms, which can reasonably easily be expected to carry a payload of computers and batteries, humanoid robots couple a need for complex control over many degrees of freedom with a form where any significant payload complicates t...
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...
متن کاملPSO-Based Path Planning Algorithm for Humanoid Robots Considering Safety
In this paper we introduce an improvement in the path planning algorithm for the humanoid soccer playing robot which uses Ferguson splines and PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization). The objective of the algorithm is to find a path through other playing robots to the ball, which should be as short as possible and also safe enough. Ferguson splines create preliminary paths using random generated para...
متن کاملHumanoids: Future Robots for Home and Factory
Humanoid robots have typically been thought of as service robots that work in a close relationship with one or more humans; however, we believe that humanoid robots can also play an important role in manufacturing, especially holonic manufacturing. In this paper, we discuss several key problems that must be solved before humanoid robots can assume useful roles in society, both at home and in th...
متن کاملActivity Monitoring and Prediction for Humans and NAO Humanoid Robots Using Wearable Sensors
While humans or biped humanoid robots perform activities such as jogging and running, an accident event such as a fall may occur. This might cause damage to the human body or to the structural components of the robot. For humans, immediate identification of a fall will allow fast responses, while for a robot, early prediction can be used to take corrective measures to prevent a fall. Modern wir...
