Abstract

Even though in recent years research and development of humanoid robots has increased, the major topics of research generally focus on how to make a robot perform specific human motions such as walking. However, walking is only one of the complicated motions humans can perform. This project describes humanoid robot implementation using hardware and software for mechanical design, behavior control, and communication. This project utilized LEGO ® Mindstorm as its main components and programmed by NQC program. The humanoid has 4 DoFs in total that allows it to imitate human-like walking motions. An Electric Technic MiniMotor was used as the sub-controller, whereas touch sensors were used in the sensory system. The main controller, Robots-RCX Processor, attached on the top of humanoid communicates with Mindstorms IR tower. The humanoid robot will initiate human walking movement like in moving forward and backward. This robot design incorporate weight-balancing technique during movement and robotstabilizing design to ensure the robot would not fall down when walking. The advantages of this project are low power consumption and less complex structure.
