Why Humanoids? What is the draw for experimenters to build a humanoid robot rather that a wheeled machine? They are more expensive to construct, especially if the designer uses a pair of legs for propulsion instead of wheels. They are more unstable and can be easily tipped over, either accidentally or on purpose. Reliability is another factor; one bad leg joint or actuator out of many and the robot is out of commission. I’ve followed a series of postings on the Seattle Robotics Society’s website (www.seattlerobotics.org) entitled “Legs not Wheels” for over a month. 78 SERVO 11.2007 There are strong feelings for both types Mellon University had developed some of robots and the reasoning is sound for amazing one-legged walkers, but the both camps.

  • Development of a Series Elastic Actuator and a Distributed Computational Platform for Robotics
    Development of a Series Elastic Actuator and a Distributed Computational Platform for Robotics Gonçalo Patrício Luís Thesis to obtain the Master of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering Supervisor: Prof. Jorge Manuel Mateus Martins Examination Committee Chairperson: Prof. João Rogério Caldas Pinto Supervisor: Prof. Jorge Manuel Mateus Martins Member of the Committee: Prof. Carlos Baptista Cardeira November 2015 i ii To my Parents iii iv Acknowledgments I would like to thank Professor Jorge Martins for believing in my ideas on building a new computational platform from scratch in detriment of using the old platform. The first task he gave me was to play arround with the old platform until I felt confortable with it, not all teachers believe in loosing time on learning things that are supposed to work and should only be used instead of studied. In the end the freedom he gave me turned into finding gross mistakes in the old platform and ultimately building a new, more capable one. I would like to thank Professor Carlos Cardeira for clearing some questions I had about electronics regarding the circuit board for voltage conversion. I would also like to thank Professor Paulo Oliveira and Professor Alexandra Moutinho for showing me the power and beauty of control systems engineering in the lecture I had with them on that topic. Their practical and clear explanations ultimately made me choose Systems as my Masters area, a choice I couldn’t be happier about. I am also deeply grateful to all the other teachers on the systems department and Eng. Camilo for creating and maintaining a friendly environment during classes and at the laboratory.

  • 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.

This approach is known as operational- space inverse-dynamics control. The specification of the movements is done through objectives in the task space, and the high redundancy of the system is handled with a prioritized stack of tasks where lower priority tasks are only achieved if they do not interfere with higher priority ones.
