Abstract

This paper describes platform overview, system integration and dynamic walking control of the humanoid robot, KHR-2 (KAIST Humanoid Robot ­ 2). We have developed KHR-2 since 2003. KHR-2 has totally 41 DOF (Degree Of Freedom). Each arm including a hand has 11 DOF and each leg has 6 DOF. Head and trunk also has 6 DOF and 1 DOF respectively. In head, two CCD cameras are used for eye. In order to control all joints, distributed control architecture is adopted to reduce the computation burden of the main controller and to expand the devices easily. The main controller attached its back communicates with sub-controllers in real-time by using CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol. We used Windows XP as its OS (Operating System) for fast development of main control program and easy extension of peripheral devices. And RTX, HAL(Hardware Abstraction Layer) extension program, is used to realize the real-time control in Windows XP environment. We present about real-time control of KHR-2 in Windows XP with RTX and basic walking control algorithm. Details of the KHR-2 are described in this paper.
