Generating and recognizing free-space movements in humanoid robots

چکیده
We introduce a computationally efficient methodology for generating and recognizing free-space movements for humanoid robots. This methodology operates on exemplar-based representations of behaviors. Our method for actuating humanoid robots allows us to perform variations on a given behavior, resulting in a very humanlike movement appearance. Besides control, this method also facilitates classification of perceived human and humanoid robot movement. We demonstrate the method on a physically-simulated humanoid robot with 132 degrees-offreedom and evaluate our movement classification methodology on two data sets: human motion-capture data and joint-angle data sampled from the simulated robot.

A 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 کاملGenerating human-like reaching movements with a humanoid robot: A computational approach
This paper presents a computational approach for transferring principles of human motor control to humanoid robots. A neurobiological model, stating that the energy of motoneurons is minimized and that dynamic and static efforts are processed separately, is considered. This paradigm is used to produce humanoid robots reaching movements obeying the rules of human kinematics. A nonlinear programm...
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 کاملKinematic Analysis of Human Goal Directed Movements
One of the major goals of robotics research is the construction of humanoid robots that enter human-centred environments. To promote man-machine interaction in daily life robots should have a roughly humanoid shape and use human-like movements. It is therefore crucial to understand how humans coordinate their upper-body movements during daily motor tasks. One of the key assumptions in motor con...
متن کاملProgramming full-body movements for humanoid robots by observation
The formulation and optimization of joint trajectories for humanoid robots is quite different from this same task for standard robots because of the complexity of humanoid robots’ kinematics and dynamics. In this paper we exploit the similarity between human motion and humanoid robot motion to generate joint trajectories for humanoids. In particular, we show how to transform human motion inform...
