Modular Whole Body Control (WBC) of Humanoid Robots with ROS -

What is Whole Body Control (WBC) in humanoid robots? Humanoid robots are among the most complex robotic systems, with lot of joints, which work not in isolation but must work in coordination. The rotation of each joint, along each axis, is one degree of freedom (DOF). Actually DOF can also be linear, not only rotational (such as when analyzing structures in civil engineering), but in […] Read More

Control Systems in Humanoid Robots -

Control systems in a humanoid robot serve as the layer between the main AI system (that is responsible from the overalllearning, planning, reasoning and decision making of a robot) and the hardware that will enable robot’s actions.
