This paper deals with a visual assistance system for a remote control of a working robot. While an operator controls the working robot, an another autonomous monitoring robot evaluates a suitable viewpoint to capture the working situation, and dynamically moves to the optimal viewpoint for monitorin
This paper proposes a quasi-passive dynamic autonomous control (Q-PDAC) for a three-dimensional (3-D) bipedal gait of humanoid robots from start points to goal points. The major approach for 3-D traveling is currently footstep planning by a constantly stable gait with an emphasis on its accurate and…
Conventional humanoids have achieved walking and running by independent controllers, even though a transition between these independent motions should be added to connect them while ensuring stability. In contrast, human selects walking/running at low/high speed in terms of energy efficiency, and tr
Visual recognition in multi-robot systems is afflicted with a peculiar problem that observations made from different viewpoints bring different perspectives. Due to the lack of a discriminable representation between a target and its surroundings in different viewpoints, realizing cognitive sharing o…
Walking capability composed of stability and efficiency is one of the most important issues in the field of humanoid robots. An effective swing of the arms is expected to enhance the walking capability under the constraints from the limited body. We propose an arm-swing method to enhance the stabili…
