Humanoid robot is anticipated to serve people in the near future. However, a humanoid robot encounters a high risk of falling when walking or operating in an uncertain environment. In this paper, we propose a passive buffering arm to reduce damage for humanoid robot during falling forward, and we develop a robotic prototype which has a simplified humanoid robot shape and can emulate motions in the...
This paper presents results of experimental investigation of the falling down of human body in order to identify significant characteristics and parameters that help for safe similar situations with humanoid robots. Experiments are discussed with results from lab tests that give both behavior and values of the biomechanics of falling down of human body. Simulations of humanoid robot falling verified...
To resemble the appearance of human beings, humanoid robots should be designed with many DOFs, however, it increases the complexity of the mechanical design and the real-time control, which will make a high cost and have a poor reliability and will not fit for the application in museums or human's daily lives. In this paper, to enable the low cost and high reliability robot to interact with humans...
This study investigates the design of a humanoid ping-pong robot system with a 7-DOFs redundant arm. The design of the arm mechanism, real-time binocular vision system, and a distributed control structure was presented. The methods for ball trajectory prediction and motion planning for the ping-pong racket were proposed. A Jacobian pseudoinverse method considering joint limits and manipulability optimization...
Throwable miniature robots are very suitable for initiative reconnaissance and surveillance in important targets of sensitive areas. However, the throwing deployment mode of miniature mobile robots demands excellent anti-impact property. Moreover, another crucial problem resulted from the small volume of miniature robots is the difficulty of packing locomotion, sensing, computing and power subsystems...
