— Humanoid robots are routinely engaged in tasks requiring the coordination between multiple degrees of freedom and sensory inputs, often achieved through the use of sensorymotor...
— A motion planner of emergency stop must make an operating humanoid robot to a stationary state under the emergency signal. It plays an important role in prevention of falling o...
— We show that a humanoid robot can step and walk using simple sinusoidal desired joint trajectories with their phase adjusted by a coupled oscillator model. We use the center of...

Robot Programming by Demonstration (RbD) covers methods by which a robot learns new skills through human guidance. In this work, we take the perspective that the role of the tea...
— Interaction between humans involves a plethora of sensory information, both in the form of explicit communication as well as more subtle unconsciously perceived signals. In ord...
— Performance of a human size humanoid robot is strictly limited by performance of the motor. The progress of a motor has not been remarkable compared with the progress of electr...
— For humanoid robots to fully realize their biped potential in a three-dimensional world and step over, around or onto obstacles such as stairs, appropriate and efficient appro...

Abstract— We propose to improve the locomotive performance of humanoid robots by using approximated biped stepping and walking dynamics with reinforcement learning (RL). Although...
