Humanoid Robotics - Design and Control: Examining design principles and control strategies for humanoid robots capable of human-like motion and interaction

Abstract

Humanoid robots are designed to resemble humans in their form and behavior, enabling them to interact with human environments and perform tasks that require human-like capabilities. This paper explores the design principles and control strategies that enable humanoid robots to achieve such capabilities. We discuss the challenges in designing humanoid robots, including mechanical design, sensor integration, and control algorithms. We also review the state-of-the-art control strategies used to achieve human-like motion and interaction, such as dynamic balancing, whole-body control, and motion planning. Finally, we discuss the future prospects of humanoid robotics and its potential impact on various fields, including healthcare, entertainment, and personal assistance.
