Significance:
+
That was a China’s systematic effort developping humanoid technology. The THBIP-I robot had 27 independent DoFs with a real-time distributed hierarchical control structure coordinating with the servo control, gait generation, gesture sensing, vision tracking and task planning subsystems. It was able to conduct autonomous walking using its on-board battery and manipulate small objects.

I was assigned to mechanism designs when I joined the project as a senior undergraduate student. I was promoted to the project manager at the end of this 3-year project, coordinating nine graduate students, two postdoctoral fellows and four professors from three departments in Tsinghua University. I developed gait generation algorithms, derived kinematics and dynamics of the system, led experiments and meetings, formulated real-time gesture compensation, interfaced with vision tracking and task planning designed by other two departments, and compiled the final report.

That was a China’s systematic effort developping humanoid technology. The THBIP-I robot had 27 independent DoFs with a real-time distributed hierarchical control structure coordinating with the servo control, gait generation, gesture sensing, vision tracking and task planning subsystems. It was able to conduct autonomous walking using its on-board battery and manipulate small objects.

Dr. Xu was involved in mechanism design, gait generation algorithms, kinematics modeling, dynamics and vibration modeling, experimental validation, real-time gesture compensation, task planning, etc. He also served as a coordinator, organzing meetings, experiments, progress documentation, etc.

The following video clips show walking experiments of the THBIP-I humanoid robots using onboard batteries from year 2003.
