Building Spined Muscle-Tendon Humanoid
Conference Paper, Proceedings of 10th International Symposium on Robotics Research (ISRR '01), pp. 113 - 127, November, 2001
Abstract
Human can perform variety of limber whole-body motions using numerous muscles and huge number of various sensors. The human brain has all the connections to the sensors and muscles, and learn how to manage them for whole-body motions. In this research, we have aimed to build a complex body with physically massive parallel sensor-motor systems to enter the next stage for studying humanoid brain systems. It is designed to have a flexible spined torso and a whole-body with fully muscle-tendon driven systems. In this paper the design and implementation of the first model of the humanoid is described with some experiments.
