Abstract

Most previous robots had used the wheels as means for movement. These structures were relatively simple and easy to control and this is why the method had been used until currently. However, there are many realistic problems to move from one place to another in human life, for instance, steps and edges. So we need to develop the two-legged walking humanoid robot. The 2-legged walking Robot system has been vigorously developed in so many corporations and academic circles of several countries. However, 2-legged walking Robot has been mostly studied in view of the static walk. We design a stable humanoid Robot which can walk in high-speed through the research of the dynamic walk in this paper. Especially, worldwide companies have been interested in developing humanoid robots for a long time to solve the before mentioned problems so that they can become more familiar with the human form. The most important thing, for the novel two-legged walk, is to create a stable and fast walking in two-legged robots. For realization of this movement, an optimal mechanical design of 12 DOFS, a distributed control and a parallel processing control are implemented in this paper. This paper proves that high speed and stable walking can be achieved, through experiments.
