The Anthropomorphic Biped Robot BIP2000

This paper describes the progress of the BIP2000 project. This project, in which four laboratories are involved fo r 4 years, as uimed at the realization of the lower part of a n anthropomorphic biped robot. The project couers mechanical design, control studies and computer architecture integration. The robot includes two legs, two feet, a pelvis and U trunk. It has 15 active joints. The mass d...

Goldfinger: A Non-Anthropomorphic, Dextrous Robot Hand

I n this paper, we describe the hardware and control architecture o,f a novel ,four-,fingered dextrous robot hand. The benefits of the unusual arrangement 0.f the ,fingers (which resembles that an raptors and other birds) an the hand are discussed. Kinematic models f o r the .fingers and transmission system are presented. A simulation and real-time control environment has been developed ,for th...

The Bielefeld anthropomorphic robot head "Flobi"

A robot’s head is important both for directional sensors and, in human-directed robotics, as the single most visible interaction interface. However, designing a robot’s head faces contradicting requirements when integrating powerful sensing with social expression. Furher, reactions of the general public show that current head designs often cause negative user reactions and distract from the fun...
