Designing an interface for a humanoid robot

Abstract

In this work an interface is designed for a human robot. This master work is part of the humanoid robot project called Archie.<br />Archie's project starts from 2004 in institute of handling robotics and technology from Vienna University of Technology. The aim of this project is building a robot who can imitate human's movements like walking.<br />In this work the control concept of the robot is discussed slightly, later on the interface necessity for such are robot is presented. The main focus of this work is on providing an interface to prepare the necessary data for the robot's joints. Since the whole robot consists of multiple joints connected to each other, calibrating and setting the parameters for each individual joint is a sophisticated phenomena.<br />Therefore this interface is prepared to simply the entire process for the whole robot.<br />
