In this paper, a probability-based balance monitoring concept for humanoid robots is proposed. Two algorithms are presented that allow us to distinguish between exceptional situations and normal operations. The first classification approach uses Gaussian-MixtureModels (GMM) to describe the distribution of the robot’s sensor data for typical situations such as stable walking or falling down. Wit...
