Pivoting a Large Object: Whole-body Manipulation by a Humanoid Robot

چکیده
In this paper we present a method of whole-body manipulation of large objects by a humanoid robot using a pivoting motion. Pivoting manipulation can be an alternative to pushing or lifting for more dexterous and stable operation, which is often used by humans to move large and bulky furniture. This paper describes a method and control techniques for a humanoid robot to perform the manipulation of a large object through whole-body motion by applying this pivoting motion. For this purpose, first the object is manipulated by two arms of a humanoid robot using impedance control for grasping, together with body balancing control while the robot stays at the same place. Next, the movement of the humanoid robot itself is performed by stepping with the help of resolved momentum control (RMC) to guarantee the robot stability. The proposed manipulation method is validated through dynamic simulation and real

Pivoting based manipulation by a humanoid robot
In this paper we address whole-body manipulation of bulky objects by a humanoid robot. We adopt a “pivoting” manipulation method that allows the humanoid to displace an object without lifting, but by the support of the ground contact. First, the smalltime controllability of pivoting is demonstrated. On its basis, an algorithm for collision-free pivoting motion planning is established taking int...

متن کاملPlanning Whole-body Humanoid Locomotion, Reaching, and Manipulation
In this article we address the planning problem of whole-body motions by humanoid robots. The presented approach benefits from two cutting edges of recent advancement in robotics: powerful probabilistic geometric and kinematic motion planning and advanced dynamic motion control for humanoids. First, we introduce a two-stage approach that combines these two techniques for collision-free simultan...
متن کاملWhole-Body Motion Planning for Robotic Manipulation of Articulated Objects
In this thesis, we present a sampling-based approach to generate whole-body motions for a humanoid robot. In particular, the planner developed is capable to generate valid whole-body motions for body repositioning as well as for grasping and manipulation of articulated objects, such as doors or drawers. Besides the generic constraints involved in motion planning, such as joint limits and collis...
متن کاملFlexible 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...
