JPL (NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratories):
System Integration of a Humanoid Robot (2006 early technology)
Abridged short version: 4 min. The very slow parts have been edited out for speed.
Total duration of crash research project, including filming and reports: under 4 months
Contributions:
- Overall Design of Humanoid Robot Software
- Stereo Vision
- Object Models
- Closed-Form Left/Right Arm and Leg Solutions
- Kinematic (Constant Balance) Walking, Stepping, Turning, Bending
- Grasp Planning, Insertion Planning
- Speech Input
- Force Processing Routines
- Rule-based Strategic Action Controller
- Vision-Driven Motions
