- Environmental awareness is crucial for safe operation.
- Robots must adapt to human unpredictability.
Article Excerpt
From source RSS / original summaryDesigning for a humanoid robot is one of the most complicated applications in robotics today. All on its own, a humanoid system has to manage movement, balance, vision and reactivity across a complex web of joints, sensors and data processing. A humanoid robot has to approximate this kind of environmental awareness through an array of sensors, then interpret those inputs quickly enough to establish a safe working zone and act appropriately to avoid harming the people in its vicinity.
Any robot working with or around humans also needs to be able to deal with our natural unpredictability. ” says Geir Ostrem, Analog Devices Fellow with the Automotive Business Unit at ADI. In a humanoid robot, a main processor serves as the brain, with vision sensors in the head or torso connected directly to t
