Weeks 11-12: Humanoid Robot Development

These weeks delve into the specialized challenges of developing software and control systems specifically for bipedal and humanoid robots.

Topics Covered​

  • Humanoid Robot Kinematics and Dynamics: Understanding the mathematical models that describe the robot's motion (kinematics) and the forces that cause that motion (dynamics).
  • Bipedal Locomotion and Balance Control: Key algorithms and control theory for achieving stable walking and running gaits in humanoids.
  • Manipulation and Grasping with Humanoid Hands: Strategies for utilizing multi-fingered end-effectors to grasp and interact with objects in complex environments.
  • Natural Human-Robot Interaction Design: Principles for creating intuitive and safe physical and non-physical interactions between humans and their robotic counterparts.
