We have been developing a software platform, called OpenHRP, for humanoid robotics which consists of a dynamic simulator and motion control library for humanoid robots. This paper...
The formulation and optimization of joint trajectories for humanoid robots is quite different from this same task for standard robots because of the complexity of the humanoid rob...
Humanoid agents can serve in a variety of activities ranging from hosts, to advisors and coaches, to teachers and to humous companions. This paper explores recent research in huma...
— This paper studies an optimal planning of falling motions of a human-sized humanoid robot to reduce the damage of the robot. We developed a human-sized robot HRP-2FX which has ...
In this paper, we develop tw o mechanisms for improving humanoid robot motions. The double spherical joint is a six DOF mechanism whose axes intersect in one point. This mechanism...
