Human motion capture is a promising technique for the generation of humanoid robot motions. To convert human motion into humanoid robot motion, we need to relate the humanoid robot kinematics to the kinematics of a human performer. In this paper we propose an automatic approach for scaling of humanoid robot kinematic parameters to the kinematic parameters of a human performer. The kinematic mod...

In this paper, a new biped robot soccer game platform was proposed. The platform is based on biped humanoid robot, it combined the research of robot control, wireless communication, machine vision, which make the humanoid robot game possible. Based on this platform, one can develop more advanced humanoid robot.

Locomotion of a Humanoid robot with lesser number of actuators is a choice of interest, as it leads to energy efficient design. This paper put emphasis on design of a humanoid robot with minimal actuation, minimal control and minimum development cost. It describes, design considerations and methods used for balancing and walking gait generation of a Humanoid Robot with 8 Degrees of Freedom. The...

This paper presents a design research conducted as a part of a larger project on intelligent humanoid robots. The primary goal of this study was to develop an initial understanding of how design on humanoid robots should be carried out. Humanoid robot design is different from conventional industrial design. A humanoid robot needs to have personality and character because it interacts emotionall...

This paper describes the development of a system for measuring airflow moving past the head of a humanoid robot. In recent years there has been growing interest in the development of humanoid robots. To function in a safe and efficient manner a humanoid robot must be 'aware' of its surroundings. For both a human and a humanoid robot airflow can provide useful information. Airflow sensors measur...

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...

When a humanoid robot walks fast or runs, the yaw torque is so large that the supporting foot slips easily and the robot may become unstable. The compensation for the yaw torque is important for fast humanoid walking and many studies have been focusing on yaw torque compensation. However, the issue of humanoid robot motion design that can make the movements of the rob...

Problem statement: Present researches focus to make humanoid robots more and more autonomous so they can assist human in daily works like taking care of children, aged or disabled persons. In such social activities, the contemporary humanoid robots are expected to have human like morphology and gait. Studies on bipedal locomotion for humanoid robots are then part of the hottest topics in the fi...
