Towards Shared Embodied Intelligence in Humanoid Robots through Optimization Development and Testing of the Human Aware ergoCub Robot
Carlotta Sartore, Mohamed Elobaid, Lorenzo Rapetti +13
Collaboration is central to human behavior, enabling tasks beyond individual capability. This ability arises from coordinating actions through internal representations of others, a…
A Framework for Optimal Ankle Design of Humanoid Robots
Guglielmo Cervettini, Roberto Mauceri, Alex Coppola +4
The design of the humanoid ankle is critical for safe and efficient ground interaction. Key factors such as mechanical compliance and motor mass distribution have driven the adopti…
CAD-Driven Co-Design for Flight-Ready Jet-Powered Humanoids
Punith Reddy Vanteddu, Davide Gorbani, Giuseppe L'Erario +3
This paper presents a CAD-driven co-design framework for optimizing jet-powered aerial humanoid robots to execute dynamically constrained trajectories. Starting from the iRonCub-Mk…
Unified Multi-Rate Model Predictive Control for a Jet-Powered Humanoid Robot
Davide Gorbani, Giuseppe L'Erario, Hosameldin Awadalla Omer Mohamed +1
We propose a novel Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework for a jet-powered flying humanoid robot. The controller is based on a linearised centroidal momentum model to represent…
Learning Aerodynamics for the Control of Flying Humanoid Robots
Antonello Paolino, Gabriele Nava, Fabio Di Natale +8
Robots with multi-modal locomotion are an active research field due to their versatility in diverse environments. In this context, additional actuation can provide humanoid robots…
iRonCub 3: The Jet-Powered Flying Humanoid Robot
Davide Gorbani, Hosameldin Awadalla Omer Mohamed, Giuseppe L'Erario +11
This article presents iRonCub 3, a jet-powered humanoid robot, and its first flight experiments. Unlike traditional aerial vehicles, iRonCub 3 aims to achieve flight using a full-b…
