Action scheduling in humanoid conversational agents
… an approach to action scheduling in lifelike humanoid agents. The action scheduler constitutes a module in the agent which links the mental processes to the physical actions of the agent. It receives requests from the agent's behavior generating modules and schedules them to be executed at the …

Mechanical engineering challenges in humanoid robotics
Humanoid robots are artificial constructs designed to emulate the human body in form and function. They are a unique class of robots whose anthropomorphic nature renders them particularly well-suited to interact with humans in a world designed for humans. The present work examines a subset of the …

Surface Electromyographic Control of a Humanoid Robot
… for controlling 1-DOF for the DARwIn-OP humanoid robot. This work also details the analysis of the relationship between surface electromyographic activity of the Biceps Brachii muscle and the angle of the elbow joint for the pseudo-static, unloaded arm case. The human arm was mechanically …

Visual servo control on a humanoid robot
This thesis deals with the control of a humanoid robot based on visual servoing. It seeks to confer a degree of autonomy to the robot in the achievement of tasks such as reaching a desired position, tracking or/and grasping an object. The autonomy of humanoid robots is considered as crucial for the …

An Analytical Motion Filter for Humanoid Robots
Mimicking human motion with a humanoid robot can prove to be useful for studying gaits, designing better prostheses, or assisting the elderly or disabled. Directly mimicking and implementing a motion of a human on a humanoid robot may not be successful because of the different dynamic …

Natural, Efficient Walking for Compliant Humanoid Robots
… This, however, requires significant advances in humanoid locomotion and control, as they are still slow, unnatural, inefficient, and relatively unstable. The work of this dissertation the state of the art with the aim was of increasing the robustness and efficiency of these bipedal walking …

Optimization-based Motion Planning for Humanoid Fall Recovery
<p>Humanoid robots are created to look like humans, behave like humans, and ultimately reason in the same level as humans. Carrying on the hopes for emulating human beings' capabilities of performing dexterously and reliably in real world scenarios, humanoids are expected to undertake a wide …

Imitating human motion using humanoid upper body models
… human motion imitation of five different humanoid upper bodies (comprised of the torso and upper limbs) using human dance motion as a case study. The humanoid models are based on five existing humanoids, namely, ARMAR, HRP-2, SURALP, WABIAN-2, and WE-4RII. These humanoids are chosen for …

Meso : a virtual musculature for humanoid motor control
Humanoid behavior requires a system with access to humanoid variables. Our humanoid robot, Cog, has two arms that are structurally similar to those of humans; however, the sensory system only provides a sense of strain and position. This thesis describes a model of the human energy metabolism that …

Design and Control of a Humanoid Robot, SAFFiR
… need to risk one life for another. In this role, humanoid robots are a strong candidate, being able to take advantage of both the human engineered environment in which it will likely operate, but also make use of human engineered tools and equipment as it deals with a disaster relief effort. The …

Design of a Humanoid Robot for Disaster Response
… focuses on the design and implementation of a humanoid robot for disaster response. In particular, this thesis investigates the lower body design in detail with the upper body discussed at a higher level. The Tactical Hazardous Operations Robot (THOR) was designed to compete in the DARPA …

Humanoid Robot Friction Estimation in Multi-Contact Scenarios
… utilized in con- cert with whole body control on humanoid robots. This approach allows humanoid robots with ankle mounted force-torque sensors to extrapolate information about the friction constraints at the hands during multi-contact poses without the addition of hardware to the platform. This is …
