iCub3 Avatar System: Enabling Remote Fully-Immersive Embodiment of Humanoid Robots
Stefano Dafarra, Ugo Pattacini, Giulio Romualdi +18
We present an avatar system designed to facilitate the embodiment of humanoid robots by human operators, validated through iCub3, a humanoid developed at the Istituto Italiano di T…
Non-Linear Trajectory Optimization for Large Step-Ups: Application to the Humanoid Robot Atlas
Stefano Dafarra, Sylvain Bertrand, Robert J. Griffin +3
Performing large step-ups is a challenging task for a humanoid robot. It requires the robot to perform motions at the limit of its reachable workspace while straining to move its b…
Whole-Body Walking Generation using Contact Parametrization: A Non-Linear Trajectory Optimization Approach
Stefano Dafarra, Giulio Romualdi, Giorgio Metta +1
In this paper, we describe a planner capable of generating walking trajectories by using the centroidal dynamics and the full kinematics of a humanoid robot model. The interaction…
A Novel Sensorised Insole for Sensing Feet Pressure Distributions
Ines Sorrentino, Francisco Javier Andrade Chavez, Claudia Latella +9
Wearable sensors are gaining in popularity because they enable outdoor experimental monitoring. This paper presents a cost-effective sensorised insole based on a mesh of tactile ca…
A Control Architecture with Online Predictive Planning for Position and Torque Controlled Walking of Humanoid Robots
Stefano Dafarra, Gabriele Nava, Marie Charbonneau +8
A common approach to the generation of walking patterns for humanoid robots consists in adopting a layered control architecture. This paper proposes an architecture composed of thr…
Compact Real-time avoidance on a Humanoid Robot for Human-robot Interaction
Dong Hai Phuong Nguyen, Matej Hoffmann, Alessandro Roncone +2
With robots leaving factories and entering less controlled domains, possibly sharing the space with humans, safety is paramount and multimodal awareness of the body surface and the…
