Network communication architecture for cooperative humanoids are designed and realized. The humanoids are operated to walk by two legs. The network is a LAN whose nodes are one master PC and other controller PCs. The master PC works as a central control machine which contains a blackboard, an image processor, and mediators for the controller PCs. The controller PC includes a collaborator and a motion controller. The collaborator communicates with the mediator and the image processor. The motion controller regulates the two-legged humanoid. Under such a combination of computing and communication systems, the walking humanoids carry a bulky box without falling down. The total job is successful if position and angle errors of the humanoids in front of the object are within an admissible range. Thus, this paper successfully adds evidences that walking humanoids can cooperate. The network communications were essential.

A method to combine a Bayesian Network (BN) and Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) is presented. This compound system is applied to robot operations. The addressed problem and presented methods are novel with the following features: (1) BN and HMMs make a total decision system by accepting evidences from HMMs to the BN. (2) The HMM-embedded BN is applied to the human motion recognition for the biped humanoid operation. (3) Besides the motion recognition, the image recognition is incorporated by adding a BN subsystem. Thus, the total HMM-embedded BN can be regarded as an integrator of heterogeneous commands. (4) The human operator and the biped humanoid can be located on the other side of the network each other. (5) The piped humanoid follows various commands of human motions without falling down by showing better sophistication and operation success than HMM-alone and BN-alone systems. In addition to the above, an information supply to the BN from brain signals is realized through a combination with a Support Vector Machine (SVM).
