Walking Humanoids for Robotics Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present three humanoid robots aimed as platforms for research in robotics, and cognitive development in robotics systems. The ’priscilla’ robot is a 180cm full scale humanoid, and the mid-size prototype is called ’elvis’ and is about 70cm tall. The smallest size humanoid is the ’elvina’ type, about 28 cm tall. Two instances of ’elvina’ have been built to enable experiments with cooperating humanoids. The underlying ideas and conceptual principles, such as anthropomorphism, embodiment, and mechanisms for learning and adaptivity are introduced as well.

Recent advancements in actuator technologies, computation, and control have led to major leaps in capability and have brought humanoids ever closer to being feasible solutions for real-world applications. As the capabilities of humanoids increase, they will be called on to operate in unstructured real world environments. This realization has driven researchers to develop more dynamic, robust, a...
متن کاملReal Time 3D Vision for Humanoid Robots
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 pl...

متن کاملDesign principles of a human mimetic humanoid: Humanoid platform to study human intelligence and internal body system
Many systems and mechanisms in the human body are not fully understood, such as the principles of muscle control, the sensory nervous system that connects the brain and the body, learning in the brain, and the human walking motion. To address this knowledge deficit, we propose a human mimetic humanoid with an unprecedented degree of anatomical fidelity to the human musculoskeletal structure. Th...
