Abstract
This paper studies an optimal planning of falling motions of a human-sized humanoid robot to reduce the damage of the robot We developed a human-sized robot HRP-2FX which has a simplified humanoid robot shape with seven dof and can emulate motions in the sagittal plane of a humanoid robot We simulated falling motions of HRP-2FX which generated by using an optimal control method to minimize a performance index, and verified the optimality

Falling motion control for humanoid robots while walking

TL;DR: The three-dimensional linear inverted pendulum mode (3D-LIPM), which has been utilized in gait generation of humanoid robots, is used to generate a solution for the center of gravity for the contracting/expanding fall correction movement.

Safe fall: Humanoid robot fall direction change through intelligent stepping and inertia shaping

TL;DR: This paper presents a fall strategy which rapidly modifies the robot's fall direction in order to avoid hitting a person or an object in the vicinity, and is the first implementation of a controller that attempts to change the fall direction of a humanoid robot.

Design of prototype humanoid robotics platform for HRP

TL;DR: The ability of the biped locomotion of HRP-2 is improved so that HRp-2 can cope with rough terrain in the open air and can prevent the possible damages to a humanoid robot's own self in the event of tipping over.
