Human Size Autonomous Robot
| | Our goal is to build an human size bipedal robot capable of interacting with people and objects.
Today, our robot can move but is not completed.
The size of the robot (1m30) makes it possible to interact with the environment.
It's weight makes it possible to use inertia for the movements.
The total price of the parts is surprising low for a robot of this size.
The robot's brain is a full PC running Windows Vista and MioEngine.
The robot with MioScript embedded is perfect to explore various algorithms, such as movements and balance based on inertia.
