In this paper, we develop tw o mechanisms for improving humanoid robot motions. The double spherical joint is a six DOF mechanism whose axes intersect in one point. This mechanism...
We present a model of human-like reaching movements. This model is then used to give a humanoid robot the ability to imitate human reaching motions. It illustrates that having a r...
Using pre-recorded human motion and trajectory tracking, we can control the motion of a humanoid robot for free-space, upper body gestures. However, the number of degrees of freed...
