“…In addition to the expensive larger humanoid robots, which are usually driven by DC-motors and harmonic drive gears, some smaller servo-driven humanoid robots have been developed recently [25], [26], [27]. Servo motors are used for humanoid robots because of their low cost and because of their good weight-to-torque ratio.…”

Abstract-This paper describes the online generation of trajectories for omnidirectional walking on two legs. The gait can be parameterized using walking direction, walking speed, and rotational speed. Our approach has a low computational complexity and can be implemented on small onboard computers.We tested the proposed approach using our humanoid robot Jupp. The competitions in the RoboCup soccer domain showed that omnidirectional walking has advantages when acting in dynamic environments.

“…Such robots fill the gap between the most complicated and the most simplistic ones. Some example robots are an 8 DOF humanoid [53], a humanoid with four actuators [54], a 16 DOF RoboNova [55], RE80II (24 DOF, 80 cm high, 7 kg weight) [56] and The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) humanoid KHR-1 (12 DOF) [38]. These robots were designed based on low development cost, being lightweight, simple kinematics, high rigidity and uncertainty compensation.…”

An affordable, highly articulated, child-size humanoid robot could potentially be used for various purposes, widening the design space of humanoids for further study. Several findings indicated that normal children and children with autism interact well with humanoids. This paper presents a child-sized humanoid robot (HBS-1) intended primarily for children's education and rehabilitation. The design approach is based on the design for manufacturing (DFM) and the design for assembly (DFA) philosophies to realize the robot fully using additive manufacturing. Most parts of the robot are fabricated with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) using rapid prototyping technology. Servomotors and shape memory alloy actuators are used as actuating mechanisms. The mechanical design, analysis and characterization of the robot are presented in both theoretical and experimental frameworks.

“…Robo-Erectus Junior is one of the foremost leading soccer playing humanoid robots in the RoboCup Humanoid Leagues. The aim of the Robo-Erectus Junior development team is to develop a low-cost humanoid platform for soccer robotics [22] and human robot interaction research [23]. The development of Robo-Erectus Junior has gone through many stages either in the design of its mechanical structure, electronic control system and gait movement control.…”

Performance of robots in human robot teams has always been a topic of interest for many researchers in human robot interaction community. Traditionally adopted neglect tolerance model for performance measurements assume ideal conditions in which the operator switches control between robots sequentially based on acceptable performance level for each robot ignoring any false alarms due to erroneous interactions. In this paper, we present the false alarm demand, a new metric for measuring effects of false alarms on human robot team performance and extend the neglect tolerance model to situations in which false positives and false negatives are prevalent. Experiments were performed with real and virtual humanoid soccer robots across tele-operated, and point to point modes of autonomy. Measured false alarm demand and robot performances were largely consistent with the proposed extended neglect tolerance model predictions for real and virtual experiments for both autonomy modes. Experiments also showed that extended neglect tolerance model offered better estimation of robot performances as compared to the traditionally adopted neglect tolerance model for situations wherein false alarms are prevalent.
