Humanoid Robotic System


Humanoid Robotic System

HuRoS is a bipedal robot developed by RMI (Robotics and Machine Intelligence), the robotics research club of NIT Tiruchirappalli. This robot is one of the first human-sized bipedal robots in India.

Humanoid robotics has gained immense research interest in recent years, thanks to developments in robotics allowing for closer human-robot interaction. A Bipedal robot allows navigation in human-centric environments, like hospitals and industries. Search and Rescue in disaster-affected regions can be significantly improved with capable humanoid robots able to interact with elements like doors and stairs.

HuRoS is a static walking bipedal robot, with intelligent trajectory generation to maintain balance at every point in the walking gait. The 10 DOF robot mimics human anatomy and is capable of traversing unstructured environments. Gait analysis and simulation was done on MATLAB. 3D Modelling with CAD allowed for optimized design and is intended to be a platform for future humanoid robotics research 3D printing allowed us to develop lighter custom-made components. Master-Slave Robot Control system for API level control. Kinematics was studied individually for single and double stances. The center of mass based control algorithms were used to stabilize the robot and for trajectory tracking.
