Development of a Humanoid Robot Platform HUBO FX-1

Abstract

Many researches about humanoid robot are performed for last decade. There exist outstanding results about hardware platforms and software algorithms and some results become commercial products. Humanoid robot engineering is synthetic study which includes mechanism design, sensor system, control algorithm and so on. But humanoid robot engineering has just symbol of technology, practical usage is very low compare with other robot shapes. Main object of this research is to develop humanoid robot which can be used in industrial or social environment. HUBO FX-1 is humanoid robot which is used for transportation system in social or industrial environment. It can carry luggage or a person according to shape of it's upper body.
