KIMLAB (Kinetic Intelligent Machine LAB) | [2023 Weekly KIMLAB] Development of a 3-DOF Interactive Modular Robot with Human-like Head Motions @KIMLAB2020 | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In the realm of robotics, the simplicity of Wall-E's head belies its remarkable capabilities: it mirrors human-like movements and possesses essential perception abilities, facilitated by an integrated camera. This design stands as the epitome of robotic head engineering. At KIMLAB, we have embraced this iconic design, transforming it into a modular robot head compatible with the PAPRAS docking mount. Utilizing the embedded IMU, our robot maintains its orientation even when the base is in motion. Our head module replicates several human head gestures, enriching interaction capabilities. Moreover, we have incorporated facial detection and tracking features, ensuring seamless Human-Robot Interaction for various applications.
