Ogawa Honda humanoid robots development

Interview with Jun-Ho Oh

I majored in robotics and humanoid robots are the dream of every researcher in robotics. When I first saw the Honda Asimo, I really wanted to create my own humanoid robot. This is a very personal motivation to start humanoid robotic research. Secondly, humanoid robots are the ultimate form of service robots. While today most robots drive on wheels, eventually, two-legged locomotion is the best ...

Session Overview Humanoids

An epoch of humanoid robotics started from the astonishing reveal of Honda P2 in 1996, and the focus of interest in the field has been the motion control of humanoid robots as well as the development of the hardware in the beginning of the decade. A reliable hardware with the minimum level of the mobility can be a research platform of humanoid robotics as well as mobile robot platforms like Nom...

Experimental Study of Biped Locomotion of Humanoid Robot HRP-1S

We have developed a humanoid robot HRP-1S that can be controlled its whole body motion. In phase one of Humanoid Robotics Project (HRP) of METI of Japan, Honda R&D Co. Ltd. has produced humanoid robots HRP-1 as humanoid research platforms to establish good applications of humanoid robots in phase two of HRP. However HRP-1 is controlled its legs and arms separately, and it is not suitable for so...

3 Development of Biped Humanoid Robots at the Humanoid Robot Research

Recently, many studies have focused on the development of humanoid biped robot platforms. Some of the well-known humanoid robots are Honda’s humanoid robots, the WABIAN series of robots from Waseda University, Partner, QRIO, H6 and H7, HRP and JOHNNIE. Given that humanoids are complex, expensive and unstable, designers face difficulties in constructing the mechanical body, integrating the hardw...

PSO-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...
