Description
This paper presents work demonstrating the evolution of a biped robot named Tyrol from a simulation environment to physical realization. For the past few years, humanoid robot development has been receiving increasing interest by several research groups. The design of this class of robots is quite challenging because of a variety of reasons such as the high number of degrees of freedom involved, balancing issues, power to weight ratio, and complexity of their control. By studying the development of a biped robot, this work addresses humanoid robot design and control in a bottom-up approach. For this purpose, a ten-degree-of-freedom biped robot concept was developed, modeled and constructed. Different gait algorithms have been developed for the biped robot to navigate on flat and inclined surfaces.
