Fuzzy Control of Humanoid Robot for Obstacle Avoidance
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fuzzy system based on the obtained information of four infrared (IR) sensors and one electronic compass is proposed and implemented on a humanoid robot to avoid obstacles. A humanoid robot named TWNHR-3 with 26 degrees of freedom (DOFs) is designed so that it can do five basic motions. Four IR sensors and one electronic compass are installed on TWNHR-3 to detect the environment information including obstacles, the distances of the obstacles, and the directional angle of the robot. Based on the obtained information, an obstacle avoidance method is proposed to decide one behavior from five motions so that it can avoid obstacles and go to the destination area effectively. Some MATLAB simulation results with different number of obstacles and two real experiments are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

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...
