Flexible Foot/Ankle Based on PKM with Force/Torque Sensor for Humanoid Robot

This paper describes the development of a novel humanoid robot foot/ankle based on an orientation Parallel Kinematic Mechanism for intelligent and flexible control. With three identical Universal-Prismatic-Spherical prismatic-actuated limbs and a central Universal-Revolute passive limb, the PKM can perform three degrees of freedom rotation motions. In order to enable the humanoid robot safely t...

Experimental Study of Humanoid Robot HRP-1S

We have developed a humanoid robot HRP-1S that is capable of simultaneous whole body motion control. In phase one of the Humanoid Robotics Project (HRP) of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, Honda R&D Co. Ltd has produced humanoid robot HRP-1 as a humanoid research platform to ease the development of good applications for humanoid robots in phase two of HRP. However, HRP-1 co...

The Development of Honda Humanoid Robot

I n this paper. we present the mechanism, system cor$guration, basic control algorithm and integrated ,functions of the Nonda humanoid robot. Like its human counterpart, this robot lzas the ability to move forward and backward, sideways to the right or the left, as well as diagonally. I n addition, the robot can turn in any direction, walk up and down stairs continuously. Furthermore, due to it...

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...
