Parallel Driving for the Design of Humanoid Robot

Abstract:

To explore the new method for the design of humanoid robot driving system. This driving system is to use the force-line model to parallel drive the limbs of the robot. A humanoid robot driving system with the force-line model has been constructed. New software for muscle force estimation has been developed. The solution of the parameters which are the input of the software has been statement. Finally, the input parameters have been obtained by experiment and calculation. The humanoid robot can be parallel driven to imitate human walking by the force which along the force-line. It will provide wide insight in developing new type humanoid robot for complex motion.
