Humanoid head design

Description






This research line forms a part of a bigger project, the Rh-1


This research line
forms a part of a bigger project, the Rh-1. Rh-1 is a humanoid robot that will
be able to automomously walk and interact with persons. The head is in the
development phase and we are using a dummy toy head as a substitute in the
photos.

 

When we are saying
"head" we do not necessarily mean that everything will be put in the
head. We are speaking about the sensory system of the robot in general. The
head itself will contain a network camera and an array of microphones, and the
CPU to process all the data will be located in the body of the robot. There
will also be some other sensors that may probably include a laser distance
meter, gyroscopes and accelerometers. We are currently researching in this
field.

 

Right now there are
several jobs being done: the development of algorithms to process images from
the camera, the development of the DSP card for the microphones, the
development of a voice recognition system as well as some other work.

 

Thank you for your
interest.

 

If you have any
question or suggestion concerning this project, please don’t hesistate in
contacting us.
