Junior Research Group Humanoid Robots |
Humanoid robots, robots that have an anthropomorphic body, are in
the last years enjoying increasing popularity as a research tool,
especially in Japan. This has mainly two reasons: first of all the
usefulness of a human-like body for the deployment in an environment
which has been designed for humans and secondly the hope that a
humanoid body can facilitate the understanding of human intelligence.
In the junior research group complex humanoid robots are being
developed. This includes work in the areas: mechanics, electronics,
perception, behavior control and learning. Our research focuses mainly
on dynamic bipedal walking and intuitive multimodal communication with
humans.
