Development of Cybernetic Human "HRP-4C"-Project Overview and Design of Mechanical and Electrical Systems-

Abstract

The development of cybernetic human HRP-4C is presented in this paper. The word “Cybernetic Human” is a coinage for us to explain a humanoid robot with a realistic head and a realistic figure of a human being. HRP-4C stands for Humanoid Robotics Platform-4 (Cybernetic human). Standing 158[cm] tall and weighing 43[kg] (including batteries), with the joints and dimensions set to average values for young Japanese females, HRP-4C looks very human-like. This paper introduces the project overview, the design process, mechanical features, and electrical features with specifications of HRP-4C.
