In this paper, we introduce a case study of developing a miniature humanoid robot that has 16 degrees of freedom and is able to perform statically stable walking. The developed humanoid robot is 37cm tall and weighs 1,200g. RC servo motors are used as actuators. The robot can walk forward and turn to any direction on even surface. It equipped with a small digital camera, so it can transmit vision data to a remote host computer via wireless modem. The robot can be operated in two modes; One is a remote-controlled mode, in which the robot behaves according to the command given by a human operator through the user-interface program running on a remote host computer, the other is a stand-alone mode, in which the robot behaves autonomously according to the pre-programmed strategy. The user-interface program also contains a robot graphic simulator that is used to produce and verify the robot's gait motion. In our walking algorithm, the ankle joint is mainly used lot balancing the robot. The experimental results shows that the developed robot can perform statically stable walking on even surface.

In this paper, we propose a new type of hexapod robot that can walk fast. Most of the conventional hexapod robots are either rectangular type of hexagonal type. Those robots have drawbacks in the speed and stability of walking. The proposed robot has six legs, one fore leg, one hind leg, two left legs and two right legs. The proposed robot forms relatively wide supporting polygons along the walking direction, so it can walk very fast stably. We implemented the proposed hexapod robot and showed the feasibility of the robot by 3+3 walking experiment and 2+4 walking experiment.

We developed a new type of human-sized BWR (biped walking robot) driven by a new actuator based on the ball screw which has high strength and high gear ratio. Each leg of the robot is composed of three pitch joints and one roll joint. In all, a 10 degree-of-freedom robot with two balancing joints was developed. A new type of actuator for the robot is proposed, which is composed of four bar link mechanism driven by the ball screw. The robot overcomes the limit of the driving torque of conventional BWRs. The BWR was designed to walk autonomously by adapting small DC motors for the robot actuators and has a space to board DC battery and controllers. In the performance test, the BWR performed sitting-up and down motion, and walking motion. Through the test, we found the possibility of a high performance biped-walking.

이 논문은 주어진 설계 조건과 제한 조건하에서 2족 보행로봇을 설계하고 제작하는 과정을 제시하며, GCSE의 상호작용 설계과정 모형에 근거하였다. 2족 보행 로봇은 보행하는데 총 5개의 관절을 사용하여 이동한다. 양쪽 발목, 양쪽 무릎 관절에 각각 하나씩의 자유도를 갖고 골반 부분에 한 개의 자유도를 갖는 구조이며, 제작된 로봇은 회전운동만으로 움직이는 5자유도를 갖는 2족 보행로봇이다. 보행 로봇은 구동을 제어하는 마이크로컨트롤러 보드와 직접 구동을 수행하는 모터로 구성된다. 제작된 로봇은 두발로 걷는 로봇인 만큼 안정적인 보행 동작의 시현과 주변 물체를 탐색하고 인식하여 특정한 동작을 수행하는 것을 최종 목표로 하였다. 제작된 보행로봇을 주어진 4가지 모드에 따라 구동하였는데, 성공적으로 동작하였다. 설계 및 제작과정을 통하여 여러 기술을 통합적으로 생각하고 종합적으로 접근하는 방법을 배울 수 있었다.

An unstructured environment requires a robot to possess outstanding mobility and advanced control algorithms since there exist complicated configurations such as obstacle, uneven surface, etc. Especially, when a quadruped robot walks in these environments, obstacles in the walking route will obstruct the walking or may give rise to a serious trouble. In this paper, we introduce a strategy for the stable walking in unstructured environment. The proposed strategy consists of two control algorithms. One is a collision{free algorithm to avoid obstacles and the other is an algorithm to overcome any obstacle. These are based on the obstacle detection method and a shape reconstruction algorithm, Which algorithms are described in detail. In addition, the validity of these algorithms have been demonstrated through experiments using a quadruped walking robot called "MRWALLSPECT III(Multifunctional Robot for Wall inSPECTion version 3 )".

In this research, a stable walking pattern generation method for a biped robot is presented. A biped robot is considered as constrained multibody system by several kinematic joints. The proposed method is based on the optimized polynomial approximation of the trunk motion along the moving direction. Foot motions can be designed according to the ground condition and walking speed. To minimize the deviation from the desired ZMP, the trunk motion is generated by the fifth order polynomial approximation. Walking simulation for a virtual biped robot is performed to demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the proposed method. The method can be applied to the biped robot for stable walking pattern generation.

In general, it is known that walking stability of a quadruped is determined by its COG(Center of Gravity). In this paper, in order to know whether our virtual quadruped robot is applicable to the real quadruped robot, we simulated our virtual model using the data from the real robot‘s walking. We were able to evaluate the stride of quadruped based on direct and inverse kinematics and compared the stride of the simulation with real robot’s it. During the simulation we calculated the COG of the virtual model and evaluated the walking stability of real model.

Biped locomotion is a popular research area in robotics due to the high adaptability of a walking robot in an unstructured environment. When attempting to automate the motion planning process for a biped walking robot, one of the main issues is assurance of dynamic stability of motion. This can be categorized into three general groups: body stability, body path stability, and gait stability. A zero moment point (ZMP), a point where the total forces and moments acting on the robot are zero, is usually employed as a basic component for dynamically stable motion. In this rarer, learning based neuro-fuzzy systems have been developed and applied to model ZMP trajectory of a biped walking robot. As a result, we can provide more improved insight into physical walking mechanisms.

The mechanical design for biped walking of a humanoid robot doing the Argentina Tango is presented in this paper. Biped walking has long been studied in the area of robotic locomotion. The aim of this paper is to implement an Argentina Tango dancer-like walking motion with a humanoid robot by using a trajectory generation scheme. To that end, this paper uses blending polynominals whose parameters are determined based on PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) according to conditions that make the most of the Argentina Tango's characteristics. For the stability of biped walking, the ZMP (Zero Moment Point) control method is used. The feasibility of the proposed scheme is evaluated by simulating biped walking with the 3D Simscape robot model. The simulation results show the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Quadruped walking robot requires dynamic control to keep its stability in high speed walking. To keep its walking stability by control of only legs' Joint angle lowers energy efficiency. It is known that an animal or a human use the moving of the mass center of one's upper body to keep the stability. We have developed a quadruped walking robot with weight balancing oscillator that have high energy efficiency. In this study, walking tests are performed for the robot to verify the validity of the weight balancing oscillator.
