Motion Planning for a Humanoid Walking in a 3D Space

چکیده

Most motion planners solve problems defined in a 2D workspace for mobile robots or in a 3D workspace for fixed-based manipulators or free-flying objects. Human beings move on a smooth or stair-like 2D surface of a 3D workspace. Such a motion-planning problem differ from the general piano mover’s problem on that the definition of obstacle region not only depends on the local relative height but also on the capability of a humanoid such as foot length. In this paper, we describe a planner capable of generating humanoid motions in 3D space on stair-like terrains by taking the human foot length and personal preference into consideration. A gross motion plan that satisfies the constraints is produced and passed to a locomotion generator that generates an appropriate human walking motion. Our experiments show that the planner is efficient and can be used to generate real-time humanoid animations on stair-like terrains.

3D Vision-Based Local Path Planning System of a Humanoid Robot for Obstacle Avoidance

This paper addresses the vision based local path planning system for obstacle avoidance. To handle the obstacles which exist beyond the field of view (FOV), we propose a Panoramic Environment Map (PEM) using the MDGHM-SIFT algorithm. Moreover, we propose a Complexity Measure (CM) and Fuzzy logic-based Avoidance Motion Selection (FAMS) system to enable a humanoid robot to automatically decide it...
