Vision and locomotion control systems on a bio-inspired humanoid robot

Abstract

This paper proposes a conceptual design of a novel humanoid robot with vision and locomotion bioinspired by the human beings. This first step research is focused on the realization of a humanoid robot interfaced with a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system. Starting from the analysis of the state of the art related to vision and locomotion in humanoid robotics, the authors propose a binocular vision and a bipedal control system as basic input for the conceptual design of a novel humanoid robot. Future steps in research will be oriented to define symbiosis interaction between humanoid robot and BCI systems.
