New Toyota Humanoid Robot Mimics People

T-HR3 is controlled from a Master Maneuvering System that allows the entire body of the robot to be operated instinctively with wearable controls that map hand, arm and foot movements to the robot, and a head-mounted display that allows the user to see from the robot's perspective. The system's master arms give the operator full range of motion of the robot's corresponding joints and the master foot allows the operator to walk in place in the chair to move the robot forward or laterally. The Self-interference Prevention Technology embedded in T-HR3 operates automatically to ensure the robot and user do not disrupt each other's movements.

Atlas Walking Over Rough Terrain #robotics #google

The Atlas Humanoid walking over small and partial footholds such as small stepping stones or line contacts. After each step the robot explores the new foothold by shifting its weight around its foot. To maintain balance we combine fast, dynamics stepping with the use of angular momentum (lunging of the upper body). The control algorithm was developed at IHMC, the robot was build by Boston Dynamics.

Robot Goes Cross Country Skiing

Published on Jan 30, 2015

Jennifer, the world's first ice hockey playing humanoid robot, takes to the slopes and tries out cross-country and alpine skiing in our application for the 2015 DARwIn-OP Humanoid Application Challenge.

The cross-country skiing gait is based on the linear inverted pendulum model and is inspired by walking and ice skating gaits developed for the DARwIn-OP robot.

We have only begun studying alpine skiing, but have demonstrated rudimentary braking and arcing using simple control of the skis' edges.

Improving the control of the alpine skiing is our primary focus, with improving the cross-country gait and allowing the robot to dynamically switch from cross-country to alpine skiing when it detects a change in inclination corresponding to a hill.

Filmed outdoors at the University of Manitoba over several days (with wildly different temperatures and snow conditions).
