Development of a Simulator for the biped-walking robot using the open inventor

Open Inventor를 이용한 이족보행로봇의 시뮬레이터의 개발

We developed a motion capture system to get angle data of human joints in the walking mode. The motion capture system is a pair of leg-shape device, which is composed of three links with ankle, knee and pelvis joints. The sensors for measurement of the joint angle are potentiometers. We used an A/D converter to get digital data from joint angles, and which are used to simulate and coordinate the biped-walking robot developed in our laboratory. To simulate and analyze walking motion, animation based on three-dimension motion is performed using the open inventor software.
