Abstract
As the world’s population lives longer, human-centered robotics emerges as a solution for the assistance, augmentation, and representation of humans to their comfort, productivity, and health. In this context, the Human Centered Robotics Lab studies key problems in mobility and manipulation of humanoid robots. In the first part of the talk, I will describe our work with the Office of Naval Research on endowing agile and compliant physical capabilities to bipedal robots. In particular, I will focus on the performance analysis of the whole-body operational space control framework during locomotion. In the second part of the talk, I will describe our work with NASA on physical human-robot interaction involving collisions between humans and mobile platforms and cooperative behaviors in rough terrains. Finally, I will comment on our work on building high performance actuators and software middleware for NASA’s Valkyrie humanoid robot.
