Abstract

In order to adapt to human's life and perform missions, a humanoid robot needs a height at least similar with children's. In this paper, we proposed a humanoid robot which is like a child who is taller than 1m. We presented showing the humanoid robot's kinematics, designing of a three-dimensional model, developing mechanisms, and the hardware structures using servo motors and compact size PC. Through this process, we designed and manufactured child humanoid robot 'CHARLES(Cognitive Humanoid Autonomous Robot with Learning and Evolutionary Systems)' that is robot is 1m 10cm tall and 8.16kg in weight. For robot's walking, we applied to ZMP-based walking technique and the creation algorithm is applied for walking patterns. Through experiments, we analyzed walking patterns according to the creation and changing parameter values.

휴머노이드 로봇이 인간의 생활환경에 적응하여 미션을 수행하기 위해서는 최소 아동과 비슷한 키를 가져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 아동과 비슷한 키의 1m 이상 휴머노이드 로봇의 설계에 대하여 다루고 있다. 구체적으로는 휴머노이드 로봇의 기구학, 3차원 모델 설계, 메커니즘 개발, 그리고 서보모터와 소형 PC를 이용한 하드웨어 구조를 제시하였다. 이 과정을 통하여 1m 10cm, 무게 8.16kg의 아동형 휴머노이드 로봇 'CHARLES(Cognitive Humanoid Autonomous Robot with Learning and Evolutionary Systems)' 를 설계하고 제작하였다. 로봇의 보행을 위해 ZMP 기반 보행기법을 적용하고, 보행패턴 생성 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 그리고 보행 실험을 통하여 보행패턴 파리미터의 설정에 따른 보행패턴의 생성 및 변화를 분석하였다.
