چکیده

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 hardware system, and realizing real-time motion and stability control based on human-like sensory feedback. Among the robots, HRP and ASIMO are the most well known humanoid robot platforms. HRP-3P is a humanoid robot developed jointly by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology and Kawada Industries, Inc in Japan. It stands 1.6 m tall, weighs 65 kg, and has 36 degrees of freedom (DOF). Upgraded from HRP-2, the new platform is protected against dust and water. In addition, Honda has unveiled a new type of ASIMO, termed the ASIMO Type-R, which stands 1.3 m tall, weighs 54 kg, and has 34 DOF. With the i-WALK technology, this robot has an impressive walking feature: it can walk at 2.7 km/h, and run at 6 km/h. HUBO is essentially an upgraded version of KHR-2. The objective of the development of HUBO was to develop a reliable and handsome humanoid platform that enables the implementation of various theories and algorithms such as dynamic walking, navigation, human interaction, and visual and image recognition. With the focus on developing a human-friendly robot that looks and moves like humans, one focus was on closely aligning the mechanical design with an artistic exterior design. This chapter also discusses the development of control hardware and the system integration of the HUBO platform. Numerous electrical components for controlling the robot have been developed and integrated into the robot. Servo controllers, sensors, and interface hardware in the robot have been explained. Electrical hardware, mechanical design, sensor technology and the walking algorithm are integrated in this robot for the realization of biped walking. This system integration technology is very important for the realization of this biped humanoid.

A Low Friction Demanding Approach in Gait Planning for Humanoid Robots During 3D Manoeuvres

This paper proposes a gait planning approach to reduce the required friction for a biped robot walking on various surfaces. To this end, a humanoid robot with 18 DOF is considered to develop a dynamics model for studying various 3D manoeuvres. Then, feasible trajectories are developed to alleviate the fluctuations on the upper body to resemble human-like walking. In order to generate feasible w...

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...
