Armar-iii: a Humanoid Platform for Perception-action Integration
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a new humanoid robot currently being developed for applications in human-centered environments. In order for humanoid robots to enter human-centered environments, it is indispensable to equip them with manipulative, perceptive and communicative skills necessary for real-time interaction with the environment and humans. The goal of our work is to provide reliable and highly integrated humanoid platforms which on the one hand allow the implementation and tests of various research activities and on the other hand the realization of service tasks in a household scenario. We introduce the different subsystems of the robot. We present the kinematics, sensors, and the hardware and software architecture and describe different skills related to real-time object localization, and motor control

A dialogue approach to learning object descriptions and semantic categories
Acquiring new knowledge through interactive learning mechanisms is a key ability for humanoid robots in a natural environment. Such learning mechanisms need to be performed autonomously, and through interaction with the environment or with other agents/humans. In this paper, we describe a dialogue approach and a dynamic object model for learning semantic categories, object descriptions, and new...
متن کاملMonocular object pose computation with the foveal-peripheral camera of the humanoid robot Armar-III
Active contour modelling is useful to fit non-textured objects, and algorithms have been developed to recover the motion of an object and its uncertainty. Here we show that these algorithms can be used also with point features matched in textured objects, and that active contours and point matches complement in a natural way. In the same manner we also show that depth-from-zoom algorithms, deve...
متن کاملRobust Image Acquisition for Humanoid Robots
The visual perception system of a humanoid robot should attain and manage the vision-model coupling. This essential link between the physical world and the applied modeled abstraction is established by diverse visual tasks including self-localization, object recognition and detection. The efficiency, robustness and precision of these tasks directly depend on their extracted features. Inevitably...
متن کاملEfficient Motion and Grasp Planning for Humanoid Robots
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...
متن کاملThe Karlsruhe ARMAR Humanoid Robot Family
We present the development and evolution of the ARMAR humanoid robots, which have been developed to perform grasping and manipulation tasks in made-for-human environments, to learn actions and task knowledge from human observation and sensorimotor experience and to interact with humans in a natural way. We describe the mechatronics of the ARMAR robots, their grasping and learning capabilities a...
