A new paradigm of humanoid robot motion programming based on touch interpretation (original) (raw)
2009, Robotics and Autonomous Systems
Most humanoid soccer robot teams design the basic movements of their robots, like walking and kicking, off-line and manually. Once these motions are considered satisfactory, they are stored in the robot’s memory and played according to a high level behavioral strategy. Much time is spent in the development of the movements, and despite the significant progress made in humanoid soccer

Versatile, High-Quality Motions and Behavior Control of a Humanoid Soccer Robot
International Journal of Humanoid Robotics, 2008
Autonomous soccer games represent an extraordinary challenge for autonomous humanoid robots which must act fast and stable while carrying all needed onboard computers, sensors and batteries. In this paper, the development and system integration of hardware and software modules of the 55-cm tall, autonomous humanoid soccer robot Bruno is described to cope with this challenge. Although based on a "minimalistic" design which only uses gyroscopes in the hip but not foot-ground contact sensors for control of balance, versatile and high-quality walking motions have been developed. Fast forward walking of about 1.5 km/h has been obtained using an efficient sequential surrogate optimization method and walking through uneven terrain with a newly designed passively compliant foot sole. Further modules of the software and control architecture which are needed for an adaptive selection of different motions and autonomous robot behavior are briefly described. Experimental results are r...
Development of behaviors for humanoid robot
2011
Humanoid robotics is an area of active research. Robots with human body are better suited to execute tasks in environments designed for humans. Moreover, people feel more comfortable interacting with robots that have a human appearance. RoboCup encourages robotic research by promoting robotic competitions. One of these competitions is the Standard Platform League (SPL) in which humanoid robots play soccer. The robot used is the Nao robot, created by Aldebaran Robotics. The difference between the teams that compete in this league is the software that controls the robots. Another league promoted by RoboCup is the 3D Soccer Simulation League (3DSSL). In this league the soccer game is played in a computer simulation. The robot model used is also the one of the Nao robot. However, there are a few differences in the dimensions and it has one more Degree of Freedom (DoF) than the real robot. Moreover, the simulator cannot reproduce reality with precision. Both these leagues are relevant fo...
