Real Time 3D Vision for Humanoid Robots

چکیده
Recent advances in humanoid robotics, such as the introduction of Honda’s Asimo robot, have brought humanoids to the forefront of robotics research. We propose to mount the CanestaVision EP camera onto a humanoid robot. The 3D sensing capabilities of the camera will enable significant improvements in the core behaviors of obstacle detection (which is important for reliable walking) and grasp planning (which is important for object manipulation). Our team is uniquely positioned because we have extensive experience in 3D computer vision and humanoid robot motion planning, and we have access to several of the world’s most advanced humanoid robots. This work will pave the way for additional applications, such as object recognition and 3D mapping.

Enabling real-time full-body imitation: a natural way of m-ansferring human movement to humanoids
We seek intuitive, e cient ways to create and direct human-like behaviors for humanoid robots. Here we present a method to enable humanoid robots to acquire movements by imitation. The robot uses 3D vision to perceive the movements of a human teacher, and then estimates the teacher's body postures using a fast full-body inverse kinematics method that incorporates a kinematic model of the teache...
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...

A method to segment a floor and an obstacle region from images, is a fundamental function for robots in real-world. This paper describes a floor detection method by integrating binocular stereo vision and whole body information, for walking direction control of a humanoid robot. We developed the humanoid robot navigation system using vision based local floor map. The developed system consists o...
متن کاملTailored Real-Time Simulation for Teams of Humanoid Robots
Developing and testing the key modules of autonomous humanoid soccer robots (e.g., for vision, localization, and behavior control) in software-in-the-loop (SIL) experiments, requires real-time simulation of the main motion and sensing properties. These include humanoid robot kinematics and dynamics, the interaction with the environment, and sensor simulation, especially the camera properties. T...

We propose a self collision avoidance system for humanoid robots designed for interacting with the real world. It protects not only the humanoid robots’ hardware but also expands 17 its working range while keeping smooth motions. It runs in real-time in order to handle unpredictable reactive tasks such as reaching to moving targets tracked by vision during 19 dynamic motions like e.g. biped wal...
