Design and Development a Novel industrial Humanoid Robot

This paper presents an overview of an industrial humanoid robot. We have tried to focus on areas such as mechanical structure, Image processing unit, robot controller, Robot AI and behavior learning. This year, our developments for the Kid size humanoid robot include: (1) the design and construction of our new industrial humanoid robots (2) the design and construction of a new hardware and software controller to be used in our robots. The project is described in two main parts: Hardware and Software. The software is developed a robot application which consists walking controller, autonomous motion robot, self localization base on vision and Particle Filter, local AI, Trajectory Planning, Motion Controller and Network. The hardware consists of the mechanical structure and the driver circuit board. Each robot is able to walk, fast walk, pass, kick and dribble when it catches the ball. The project is still in progress and some new interesting methods are described in the current report.
