Cooperation of Humanoid Robots Using Teleoperation for Transferring an Object

摘要

In this paper, a method is proposed for humanoid robots performing object transfering task in a teleoperated cooperative paradigm. The cooperative task is accomplished using simple communication among two humanoid robots and then switch between modes according to the situation. In case of object passing with two humanoid robots, mutual position shifts may occur while they are moving. Therefore, it is necessary to correct the position in a real-time manner. To control the arm and hand of the robot remotely we use master arm and hand while it carries and passes the object, the dynamic stability during the execution of walking is ensured by incorporating the ZMP criterion and the desired spacing between the robots is controlled by Leader follower type control. Object passing cooperation for two humanoid robots is based on computer control, wireless LAN, vision, cooperative handling control and text commands. The method is applied as key software of the system. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology for performing cooperatively real time tasks is discussed.
