Univ. Sebastian Lohmeier Vollständiger Abdruck der von der Fakultät für Maschinenwesen der Technischen Universität München zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktor-Ingenieurs (Dr.-Ing.) genehmigten Dissertation. Vorsitzender: Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Udo Lindemann Prüfer der Dissertation: 1. Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Heinz Ulbrich 2. Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Horst Baier Die Dissertation wurde am 2. Juni 2010 bei der Technischen Universität München eingereicht und durch die Fakultät für Maschinenwesen am 21. Oktober 2010 angenommen. Colophon The original source for this thesis was edited in GNU Emacs and aucTEX, typeset using pdfLATEX in an automated process using GNU make, and output as PDF. The document was compiled with the LATEX 2" class AMdiss (based on the KOMA-Script class scrreprt). AMdiss is part of the AMclasses bundle that was developed by the author for writing term papers, Diploma theses and dissertations at the Institute of Applied Mechanics, Technische Universität München. Photographs and CAD screenshots were processed and enhanced with THE GIMP. Most vector graphics were drawn with CorelDraw X3, exported as Encapsulated PostScript, and edited with psfrag to obtain high-quality labeling. Some smaller and text-heavy graphics (flowcharts, etc.), as well as diagrams were created using PSTricks. The plot raw data were preprocessed with Matlab. In order to use the PostScript- based LATEX packages with pdfLATEX, a toolchain based on pst-pdf and Ghostscript was used. -

When it is closed, BoBi is a and SoftBank [9]-[10] and Nao developed by Aldebaran rectangular box with a smart phone size. Owner can call to BoBi Robotics [11]-[13] have been designed to talk and make to open to transform from the box to a movable robot, and then it communication with people where their communication will perform many functions like humans such as moving, talking, abilities are very simple compared to humans. emoting, singing, dancing, conversing with people to make people happy, enhance people’s lives, facilitate relationships, have fun In this paper, we propose an intelligent assistant robot: with people, connect people with the outside world and assist and BoBi secretary as shown in Fig. 1. When it is closed, BoBi is a support people as an intelligent personal assistant. We consider rectangular box with a smart phone size. We consider it as a BoBi is a treasure and so call the box moonlight box that is “月 moonlight box. It automatically opens to transform from the 光宝盒” in Chinese. BoBi speaks with people, tells jokes, sings moonlight box to a robot when its owner calls to it, “open,” and dances for people, understands the owner and recognizes and then it performs functions like humans such as moving, people’s voices. -

Humanoid Robot Soccer Locomotion and Kick Dynamics
Humanoid Robot Soccer Locomotion and Kick Dynamics Open Loop Walking, Kicking and Morphing into Special Motions on the Nao Robot Alexander Buckley B.Eng (Computer) (Hons.) In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Presented to the Faculty of Science and Engineering of the National University of Ireland Maynooth in June 2013 Department Head: Prof. Douglas Leith Supervisor: Prof. Richard Middleton Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the guidance, help and most of all the patience of my supervisor, Rick Middleton. I would like to thank the members of the RoboEireann team, and those I have worked with at the Hanilton institute. Their contribution to my work has been invaluable, and they have helped make my time here an enjoyable experience. Finally, RoboCup itself has been an exceptional experience. It has provided an environment that is both challenging and rewarding, allowing me the chance to fulfill one of my earliest goals in life, to work intimately with robots. Abstract Striker speed and accuracy in the RoboCup (SPL) international robot soccer league is becoming increasingly important as the level of play rises. Competition around the ball is now decided in a matter of seconds. Therefore, eliminating any wasted actions or motions is crucial when attempting to kick the ball. It is common to see a discontinuity between walking and kicking where a robot will return to an initial pose in preparation for the kick action. In this thesis we explore the removal of this behaviour by developing a transition gait that morphs the walk directly into the kick back swing pose. -
A Control Architecture for Dynamically Stable Gaits of Small Size Humanoid Robots
A CONTROL ARCHITECTURE FOR DYNAMICALLY STABLE GAITS OF SMALL SIZE HUMANOID ROBOTS Andrea Manni ¤;1, Angelo di Noi ¤ and Giovanni Indiveri ¤ ¤ Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Innovazione, Universit`a di Lecce, via per Monteroni, 73100 Lecce, Italy, Fax: +39 0832 297279, email:fandrea.manni, giovanni.indiveri, [email protected] Abstract: From the 1970's biped robots have had a large attention from the robotic research community. Yet the issue of controlling dynamically stable walking for arbitrary biped robots is still open. We propose a simple control architecture based on the use of the FRI (Foot Rotation Indicator) point and the support polygon. The major advantage of the proposed architecture is that motion planning (and eventually sensor based re-planning (slower feedback loop)) is limited to the leg joints whereas the trunk and arm degrees of freedom are controlled in closed loop (faster feedback loop) to achieve overall dynamic stability. Such architecture allows to decouple the problem of dynamic stable walking in the two relatively simpler problems of gait generation and robot stabilization. This architecture is particularly suited for small size robots having limited onboard computational power and limited sensor suits. The e®ectiveness of the proposed method has been validated through Matlabr simulations and experimental tests performed on a Robovie-MS platform.

Unified Humanoid Robotics Software Platform
Unified Humanoid Robotics Software Platform McGill, Stephen G. #1, Brindza, Jordan #3, Yi, Seung-Joon #2, Lee, Daniel D. #4 #Electrical and Systems Engineering Department, University of Pennsylvania 200 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, U.S.A. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract— Development of humanoid robots is increasing rapidly, and humanoids are occupying a larger percentage of robotics research. They are seen in competitions like RoboCup, as consumer toys like the RoboSapien from WowWee, and in various research and DIY community projects. Equipping these humanoid hardware platforms with simple software systems that provide basic functionality is both cumbersome and time consuming. In this paper, we present a software framework for simple humanoid behavior that abstracts away the particulars of specific humanoid hardware. Fig. 1.
