Constructing a small humanoid walking robot as a platform for the genetic evolution of walking (2001) [2 citations — 2 self]
Abstract:
Walking robots form the next challenge in the field of autonomous robots. This paper describes the construction of a fully autonomous humanoid walking robot as a platform for machine learning algorithms like e.g. Genetic Programming. Built from off-the-shelf components, the described humanoids are cheap, robust and easy to program, which make them an ideal test platform for several experimental approaches in machine learning, sensor fusion, or adaptive control. In addition to these research related topics, the walking robots are an ideal tool for educational purposes. The aim of this work is twofold: first, it presents a small humanoid and fully autonomous walking robot that is in turn used as, second, a test platform for the evolution of walking with Genetic Programming. Autonomous mobile robots are becoming more and more
