— Online self collision detection system for humanoid robots is an essentially important function for developing sensor based behaviors without worrying about breaking hardware. ...
Abstract— Tomorrow’s humanoids will operate in human environments, where efficient manipulation and locomotion skills, and safe contact interactions will be critical design fa...
— In this paper, we propose a new method for biped humanoids to compensate for large amounts of angular momentum induced by strong external perturbations applied to the body duri...
