We present an approach to enable the humanoid robot ASIMO to flexibly produce and synchronize speech and co-verbal gestures at run-time, while not being limited to a predefined repertoire of motor action.
Experiments on reaching tasks in cluttered human environments demonstrate that the technique can generate smooth, collision-free, and natural-looking motion in seconds for a PUMA manipulator and the Honda ASIMO robot.
The results are promising; the robot was a big success in graduate, undergraduate, and outreach activities.
Experiments performed with the humanoid robot ASIMO show that the proposed system is suitable for transferring information from a human demonstrator to the robot.
Experimental results suggested that, while the robot was perceived as highly likeable, Japanese participants rated the robot higher for animacy, intelligence and safety.
Based on this model, a new torque-based approach for the control of internal forces is suggested and illustrated on the Asimo humanoid robot.
The results show that the robot was able to play the game in a manner similar to how a human plays the game.
