In this paper, control software architecture is designed to enable a heterogeneous multiple humanoid robot demonstration executing tasks cooperating with each other. In the heterogeneous humanoid robot team, one large humanoid robot and two small humanoid robots are included. For the efficient and reliable information sharing between many software components for humanoid control, sensing and planning, CORBA based software framework is applied. The humanoid tasks are given in terms of finite state diagram based human-robot interface, which is interpreted into the XML based languages defining the details of the humanoid mission. A state transition is triggered based on the event which is described in terms of conditions on the sensor measurements such as robot locations and the external vision system. In the demonstration of the heterogeneous humanoid team, the task of multiple humanoid cleaning the table is given to the humanoid robots and successfully executed based on the given state diagram.

Intelligent walking modeling of humanoid robot using learning based neuro-fuzzy system is presented in this paper. Walking pattern, trajectory of the zero moment point (ZMP) in a humanoid robot is used as an important criterion for the balance of the walking robots but its complex dynamics makes robot control difficult. In addition, it is difficult to generate stable and natural walking motion for a robot. To handle these difficulties and explain empirical laws of the humanoid robot, we are modeling practical humanoid robot using neuro-fuzzy system based on the two types of natural motions which are walking trajectories on a t1at floor and on an ascent. Learning based neuro-fuzzy system employed has good learning capability and computational performance. The results from neuro-fuzzy system are compared with previous approach.

This paper deals with implementation of middleware using CAN(Controller Area Network) network and TCP/IP for real-time distributed control system of a humanoid robot. Existent system using CAN network is available. But, there is problems in extensibility and flexibility. In this raper, the new system using TCP/IP for solution and improvement of problems is proposed. The new system is applied to ISHURO-II, real-humanoid robot. The performance is verified through experiment.

This paper describes the control of a geared DC motor having a backlash for implementation of a humanoid robot using disturbance observer. Critical problem of the humanoid robot is caused by the nonlinearity such as a backlash. To meet this problem, a control method using disturbance observer has been proposed. The disturbance observer is designed to estimate the effects of nonlinearities in the system, to make the nonlinear system behave linearly. To design the low-pass filter in the disturbance observer, cut-off frequency of the output should be found. The goal of this paper is the implementation of the proposed system, compensating the backlash effect. To accomplish the goat, PD control and disturbance observer are employed to the system with no load and full load. As a result, system stability can be guaranteed by compensating the effect of backlash. In addition, real experiment shows the proposed control methodology will satisfy the stable working of a humanoid type in the future.

This paper deals with the real-time message network system by a CAN (controller area network) based on the real-time distributed control scheme to integrate actuators and sensors in a humanoid robot. In order to apply the real-time distributed processing for a humanoid robot, each control unit should have the real-time efficient control method, fast sensing method, fast calculation and real-time valid data exchange method. Moreover, the data from sensors and encoders must be transmitted to the higher level of control units in maximum time limit. This paper describes the real-time message network system design and the performance of the system.

본 논문에서는 휴머노이드를 이용한 로봇 축구 시스템을 새롭게 제안하며, 다수의 인간형 로봇을 제어하는 방법과 축구 경기를 하기 위한 전략 알고리즘 등에 대해 기술하였다. 로봇의 위치와 방향을 파악하기 위해서 로봇의 위쪽 어깨 부분에 각각의 로봇을 구분할 수 있는 칼라 태그를 부착하였고, 빠른 위치와 방향 인식을 위해 전용의 PC를 통해 영상인식을 수행하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 휴머노이드 로봇 축구 시스템은 기존의 바퀴 구동형 축구 로봇을 한 단계 발전시킨 것으로, 앞으로 많은 연구를 통하여, 인간처럼 자율 이동이 가능한 로봇 축구 경기가 가능하리라 본다.

본 논문은 휴머노이드 로봇 ISHURO의 분산 제어를 위한 네트웍 구현에 대해 다루고 있다. 일반적으로 휴머노이드형 로봇은 기구학적으로 유연한 동작을 위해 다수의 자유도가 필요하다. 이를 구현하기 위해서는 중앙에서 일괄적으로 처리 하는 것 보다 간결 하면서도 유연성을 줄 수 있는 분산 처리 방법이 선호되고 있다. 분산 처리를 위한 제어기를 구성할 때는 로봇의 모터를 독립적으로 제어하기 위한 제어기가 별도로 필요하며 모듈 간에는 정해진 시간 내에 데이터를 교환할 수 있는 통신 기법이 필요하다. ISHURO의 각 관절은 자체 내에 독립된 DSP를 내장하고 있으며 CAN 네트웍을 이용하여 모듈간의 통신을 하여 구동기를 재어하거나 센서의 값을 모니터링 할 수 있게 되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위한 통신 구조를 제안하고 필요한 전송 메시지를 정의하고, 전송시간을 분석하여 로봇 분산 제어기 구조에 적절한 전송 프로토콜을 제시하였다. 모든 과정은 Matlab을 이용하여 컴퓨터모의실험을 수행하였고 실제 휴머노이드 로봇에 적용하여 보행실험을 통해 검증 하였다.

There are few representative humanoid robots including Japanese ASIMO from Honda and HUBO from KAIST. We cannot consider ASIMO and HUBO the perfect humanoid robots, however. The basic principles when developing humanoid robot is to make them to work in a similar way as human's movement of arm. In this paper, we proposed method of designing humanoid robotic arms based on the morphological.eurological analysis of human's arm tor robot's arm to work in a similar way as human's ann, and we also implemented arm movement control system to humanoids robot by using SERCOS communication.

In this paper, practical biped humanoid robot is presented, designed, and modeled by fuzzy system. The humanoid robot is a popular research area in robotics because of the high adaptability of a walking robot in an unstructured environment. But owing to the lots of circumstances which have to be taken into account it is difficult to generate stable and natural walking motion in various environments. As a significant criterion for the stability of the walk, ZMP (zero moment point) has been used. If the ZMP during walking can be measured, it is possible for a biped humanoid robot to realize stable walking by a control method that makes use of the measured ZMP. In this study, measuring the ZMP trajectories in real time situations throughout the whole walking phase on the flat floor and slope are conducted. And the obtained ZMP data are modeled by fuzzy system to explain empirical laws of the humanoid robot. By the simulation results, the fuzzy system can be effectively used to model practical humanoid robot and the acquired trajectories will be applied to the humanoid robot for the human-like walking motions.

In this paper, We design and implement a humanoid robot, With Educational purpose, which can collaborate and communicate with human. We present an affective human-robot communication system for a humanoid robot, D2, which we designed to communicate with a human through dialogue. D2 communicates with humans by understanding and expressing emotion using facial expressions, voice, gestures and posture. Interaction between a human and a robot is made possible through our affective communication framework. The framework enables a robot to catch the emotional status of the user and to respond appropriately. As a result, the robot can engage in a natural dialogue with a human. According to the aim to be interacted with a human for voice, gestures and posture, the developed Educational humanoid robot consists of upper body, two arms, wheeled mobile platform and control hardware including vision and speech capability and various control boards such as motion control boards, signal processing board proceeding several types of sensors. Using the Educational humanoid robot D2, we have presented the successful demonstrations which consist of manipulation task with two arms, tracking objects using the vision system, and communication with human by the emotional interface, the synthesized speeches, and the recognition of speech commands.
