Rapid prototyping of real-time controllers for humanoid robotics: A case study

Abstract

This paper presents a rapid prototyping of realtime controllers for humanoid robotics based on standard off-the-shelf hardware and software. The proposed scheme allows control of a wide class of robotic systems in hard real-time. To take advantage of Simulink graphic programming interfaces, robotic programming environment, middleware and library are also presented based on Matlab/Simulink/RTW toolchain. Experiments are presented to show the performance on current computing hardware.
