On humanoid motion optimization [PDF]

open access: yes2007 7th IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots, 2007
In this paper, we present a recursive method for the optimization of humanoid robot motions. The method is based on an efficient dynamics algorithm, which allows the calculation of the gradient function with respect to the control parameters analytically. The algorithm makes use of the theory of Lie groups and Lie algebra.

A Stability Training Method of Legged Robots Based on Training Platforms and Reinforcement Learning with Its Simulation and Experiment

open access: yesMicromachines, 2022
This paper continues the proposed idea of stability training for legged robots with any number of legs and any size on a motion platform and introduces the concept of a learning-based controller, the global self-stabilizer, to obtain a self-stabilization

HUMAN–HUMANOID INTERACTION: IS A HUMANOID ROBOT PERCEIVED AS A HUMAN? [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Humanoid Robotics, 2005
As humanoid robots become more commonplace in our society, it is important to understand the relation between humans and humanoid robots. In human face-to-face interaction, the observation of another individual performing an action facilitates the execution of a similar action, and interferes with the execution of a different action.

Using humanoid robots to study human behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Our understanding of human behavior advances as our humanoid robotics work progresses-and vice versa. This team's work focuses on trajectory formation and planning, learning from demonstration, oculomotor control and interactive behaviors.

Interactive Dynamic Simulator for Multibody Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We propose an interactive dynamic simulator for humanoid robots using constraint-based methods for computing interaction forces with friction. This simulator is a part of a general framework for prototyping called AMELIF and is a successful integration ...
