Design of Android type Humanoid Robot Albert HUBO

Living with robots : investigating the user acceptance of social robots in domestic environments

“…Examples of humanoid robots are very realistic Geminoid robots (Dougherty & Scharfe, 2011;Nishio, Ishiguro, & Hagita, 2007), iCub (Sandini, Metta, & Vernon, 2004), Jules from Hanson Robotics, and Albert Hubo (Oh et al, 2006).…”

Humanoid Robotic Language and Virtual Reality Simulation

“…On the other hand, Honda humanoid robots (Honda, 2008) possess the state of the art locomotion system, but lack the autonomy and the learning abilities. We envision the union of these two types of robots, such as Albert HUBO (Oh et al, 2006), as the basis of our investigation.…”

The Development of Emotional Flexible Spine Humanoid Robots

“…So far, there have been several studies in the area of communication of emotion from both human and robot body movements (Walk & Homan, 1984;Sogon & Masutani, 1989;Ayama et al, 1996;Dittrich et al, 1996;Brownlow et al, 1997;Shibata & Inooka, 1998;Pollick et al, 2001). Moreover, several impressive robots that can express emotions have been developed (Lim et al, 1999;Kobayashi et al, 2001;Breazeal, 2002;Breazeal, 2003;Itoh et al, 2004;Ishiguro, 2005;Oh et al, 2006). However, besides the WBD-2, there is no humanoid robot that can express emotions using spine motions.…”
