--- We have developed a humanoid robot HRP-2P with a biped locomotion controller, stereo vision software and aural human interface to realize cooperative works by a human and a hum...
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...
- Motion planning is one of the key capabilities for autonomous humanoid robots. Previous researches have focused on weight balancing, collision detection, and gait generation. Mos...
This paper presents a humanoid robot that has the same size as a human and that can lie down to the floor and get up from the floor with the robot face upward and downward. We b...
This paper discusses the pushing manipulation of an object by a humanoid robot. For such a pushing task, we show that there are two kinds of ZMPs, i.e., the conventional “Zero M...
This paper presents a new type of wearable telepresence system that is applicable to the control of a humanoid robot. The system consists of self-contained computing hardware with...
We introduce a technique that allows a real robot to execute real-time learning, in which GP and RL are integrated. In our former research, we showed the result of an experiment wi...
Even though in recent years research and development of humanoid robots has increased, the major topics of research generally focus on how to make a robot perform specific motions...
For flexible interactions between a robot and humans, we address the issue of automatic recognition of human emotions during the interaction such as embarrassment, pleasure, and af...
