Developmental methodology for building whole body humanoid system

摘要

In this paper, a developmental construction methodology for a humanoid robot system is proposed. "Developmental" means that a versatile robot system is inherently a target to be developed incrementally, repetitively with inheriting results of former generations. Based on this methodology, the developmental system consists of (1) the hardware independent robot model for a skill development, (2) an action space representation for a functional development and (3) a robot body which has an onbody network for a physical development. On this system, five humanoid robots have been developed and locomotion behaviors have been realized.
