According to Kyodo News, Japan robot innovation company "Human-Machine Integration" and Ritsumeikan University publicly displayed their newly developed humanoid robot on the 1st.
The robot is remotely controlled by humans and can automatically maintain body balance and operate safely without prior knowledge of its surroundings. According to reports, the company strives to put it into use in dangerous places such as high places within 5 years.
The main information of the robot is summarized as follows:
In terms of parameters, the robot is about 2 meters high, 70 centimeters wide and weighs about 90 kilograms.
In terms of operation, the robot is controlled by humans using a joystick to control the movements of hands and feet, and the external environment is judged by the camera on the body. The movement of the upper body is controlled by the human, and the lower body automatically maintains its balance in order to operate in areas that are difficult for humans to control and difficult to walk underfoot.
The soles of the robot's feet are equipped with sensors that read external forces, allowing it to maintain balance even if someone suddenly pulls the robot's hand.
