The Humanoid Project

---------------------------------

 

The objective of this project is to produce a full-size, bipedal humanoid robot. The humanoid will have human dimensions and weight. At present the plan is to build the robot around a plastic human skeleton. The robot will be controlled by a hierarchy of evolutionary systems. A 60 cm tall prototype named ELVIS has been built. The objective of ELVIS is to try various hypotheses regarding hardware and control software. We are motivated by a strong belief in the future importance of humanoid robotics for industry, research and society in general.

To create a mechanical humanoid that:
- is autonomous
- can walk
- has vision assisted orientation
- can communicate verbally
- shows more advanced behaviours, such as walking to an electric outlet to recharge its batteries

We strive towards creating an individual who is able to adapt to and take advantage of its environment to reach its own purposes. Our short term goal is to get the robot to balance on two legs, and then make it walk.

 

To see what is possible to do today

 

- AI
- Robotics
- Computer vision
- Audio computer communication
- Human interfaces for robots
