Integration of Manipulation and Locomotion by a Humanoid Robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
We aim to develop a humanoid robot which can go anywhere an ordinary human covers. For such purpose, we consider enhancing the walk and work capabilities of a humanoid robot by integrating manipulation and locomotion. Especially, we focus on three motions of a humanoid robot: pushing a heavy object placed on the floor, working while thrusting a hand on to a desk, and ascending large steps while holding a handrail for support. These motions are realized by experiment using the humanoid robot HRP-2.

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...
متن کاملHumanoid Robot Locomotion and Manipulation Step Planning
We aim at planning multi-contact sequences of stances and postures for humanoid robots. The output sequence defines the contact transitions that allow our robot to realize different kind of tasks, ranging from biped locomotion to dexterous manipulation. The central component of the planning framework is a best-first algorithm that performs a search of the contacts to be added or removed at each...
متن کاملMulti-Contacts Stances Planning for Humanoid Locomotion and Manipulation
We present an algorithm that plans a sequence of multi-contacts stances in order to solve the locomotion and manipulation planning problems for humanoid robots and equivalently for dexterous hands. The algorithm uses a Best-First planning approach to explore the stances space and relies on an inverse statics stance solver to generate postures in the configuration space of the system realizing a...
متن کاملHumanoids 56 . Humanoids
Humanoid robots selectively emulate aspects of human form and behavior. Humanoids come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from complete human-size legged robots to isolated robotic heads with human-like sensing and expression. This chapter highlights significant humanoid platforms and achievements, and discusses some of the underlying goals behind this area of robotics. Humanoids tend to require...
