We propose a novel operating method for a bipedal walking robot through personalized gesture expressions of fingers. Bipedal walking robot mimics the human walking for certain extend and fingers can be used as analogy to human legs. Moreover, fingers not only have visual resemblance but also can mimic actions of legs such as walking, running, kicking or turning, very easily. We are capturing these finger gestures as the controlling method for a bipedal walking robot. We believe that it provides a very intuitive controlling interface since user does not have to go through a complex learning cycle to understand the instructions. Finger actions are captured in both functionality and speed and transferred to the robot.

We propose an operating method for bipedal robots by using two-fingered gestures on a multi-touch surface. We focus on finger gestures that people represent the human with moving fingers, such as walking, running, kicking and turning. These bipedal gestures are natural and intuitive enough for the end-users to control the humanoid robots. The system captures those finger gestures on a multi-touch display as the direct operation method. The capturing method is easy and simple, but robust enough for the entertainment applications. We show an example application with our proposed method, and demonstration at the international exhibition. We conclude with the results of observation and future implementation of our method.

Matt Fisher with his displayed robots in the Museum of Science and Industry at Chicago. "The KumoTek-X (KT-X) is a low-cost, bipedal robot that can walk, run, somersault and pick up itself up from lying down ... The 13.5-inch-tall robot is available either fully assembled or in a kit, and can be programmed with little or no experience necessary. Give the KT-X a test run in person in the Fast Forward gallery." www.msichicago.org

www.eecs.umich.edu in the Summer 2008, they completed assembly of a novel planar bipedal robot for use at the University of Michigan. The robot, named MABEL, was designed in collaboration with Jonathan Hurst, Al Rizzi and Jessica Hodgins of the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon. Jonathan Hurst was responsible for the design of the mechanical systems of the robot. MABEL is comprised of five links assembled to form a torso and two legs with knees. The legs are terminated in point feet. The planar nature of the robot is manifested in the hips, which are constrained to revolute motion in the sagittal plane. The robot is attached to a boom and hence walks or runs in a circle; when the radius is sufficiently large, this corresponds to locomotion along a straight line. Up to this point, the robot is similar to RABBIT, the French robot on which we collaborated from 2001 through 2004. The novel aspects of MABEL, and there are many, appear in the transmission or powertrain . First of all, all of the actuators (four DC-brushless motors, two for each leg) are located in the torso, so that the legs are as light as possible; this is done for running efficiency. In RABBIT and most other robots, the knee actuators are mounted on the thigh. Secondly, the actuated degrees of freedom of each leg do not correspond to the knee and the hip angles (the hip angle being the relative angle between the torso and thigh). Instead, for each leg, a collection of differentials is used to connect two <b>...</b>

On December 9, 2010 the second day of a three day overnight expedition, I captured a vertical image moving between two trees. On the full 7:25 second version, you can clearly hear it moving around and stepping on twigs and leaves. In this video, I freeze frame a blow up video of it at the 1:02 mark. I will be loading the full length video soon.

Just a short demo; made some slight tweaks to the rig. Again, the movement is mocap data brought into CS using motion flow, flattened and adapted with layers (actually a lot more work than it sounds). Also some facial animation added by myself for effect. :-)

Valiantly continuing with my "do a new game review at least once a week" mission, this week it's Crysis 2 by Crytek. It's basically if Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Halo: Combat Evolved and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 had a misshapen, somewhat simple-minded baby they decided to give a name appropriate to the horrific accident it was. Okay, maybe that's a little harsh. Got a little carried away with the metaphor there, my bad. Now get your arse over to the Facebook page and tell me how my review was. I managed to get it around 3 minutes for once, aren't you proud? It was so hard, I'm so talkative, wah ;_; Twitter: twitter.com Facebook: www.facebook.com Tumblr: gamesr4fite.tumblr.com Also check out my vlog channel: www.youtube.com

We're on the right 1: Technically we didn't win because the robot didn't cross over the masking tape completely 2: Failed to connect the first time so we had to reboot the robot. We were actually very lucky, the robot in lane II had to deal with a huge dip in the floor, which caused it to run out of lane that the team were trying to correct for.

If you can view this in HD, please do so as the normal version is of VERY poor video quality. This test was done after some minor tweaks I have done to the horse model and rig. The animation is the same tweaked mocap action that was in the first bipedal test anim that I posted, except that this is in three camera angles. One still full profile shot, one panning slightly 3/4 close shot and one close up 'person holding the camera' shot that goes a bit wrong. ;-) The other purpose of this video is to test the new widescreen format (and HD option) on YouTube. Modelled and (partly) animated by myself using 3D Studio Max.

This dog should win an award. He learned to do one of the most difficult things to train a dog to do, and he learned it on his own! You could say he was self-stimulated or motivated to learn how to pawsturbate.

In 4.0.3a patch hunters got a pet which can dance. Commanding your fox to move while it's dancing makes it to glide on its hind legs.
In this experiment, we are evaluating the inherent robustness of MABEL's 'almost' nominal gait. [This work is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF)] Question: How far can MABEL step down without falling? To find out, the robot goes until it falls. She was able to handle a 2.5 inch (6.35 cm) drop off. In the end, she did not really fall. Each shin has a built in mechanical fuse that gives way when the load on the leg exceeds a threshold. This is done to avoid damage to the bearings in the hips. The experiment stopped when the fuse in MABEL's shin gave way. The resulting fall is quite spectacular, but does not damage the robot. It takes about an hour to reassemble the leg. Note that the robot does not have a camera. It has no knowledge of the obstacles. If you compare the programmed gait to previous gaits we have used, you will note the increased swing leg height. That is the ONLY change. No reflexes have been programmed in, no additional compliance, nothing extra. Such things will come later.

The person type robot was made from the physics engine. The robot learned bipedal locomotion. The genetic algorithm was used. Gene: The angle of each joint.Five operations (0 (preparation), 1, 2, 3, 4). Operation: 0,1,2,3,4. As for 0, only the beginning is.1 to 4 is repeated.Operation is symmetrical on the left and the right. Evaluation: Distance which advanced Selection: Five high things of evaluation. Intersection: Two bodies are chosen from five bodies with high evaluation at random, and a gene is mixed. Mutation: A random value (angle) is added to a gene. In almost all cases, mutation is change for the worse. It exceeds parents' capability rarely. 物理エンジンで人型のロボットを作った。 遺伝的アルゴリズムで二足歩行の学習をさせた。 遺伝子：各関節の角度。5つの動作分(0(初動),1,2,3,4)。 動作：0⇒1⇒2⇒3⇒4⇒1⇒･･･。0は最初だけ。1から4を繰り返す。2動作ずらして左右対称。 評価：倒れるまでに前進した距離。 選択：評価の高いものから5体。 交叉：評価の高い5体からランダムに2体選んで遺伝子を混ぜる。 突然変異：遺伝子1個～2個に対してランダムな値(角度)を足す。 突然変異は、ほとんどの場合、改悪である(奇形児)。 が、まれに親の能力を上回る。 ニコニコ動画版www.nicovideo.jp

The Robonova bipedal battle robot is the second generation of the Robo-One design. It has improved servos, sturdy construction, a lot of style, and vastly improved software and operation. Watching it move is like experiencing a robot ballet. This video was captured during a robot festival in Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan. According to the Hitec (Robonova) management, they are selling the robot overseas, have good English documentation, and all the supporting software is available for download online.
