Real-time surface recognition has become a critical factor for ensuring safe walking of
intelligent biped robots in a complex human living environment. This work aims at enabling …

In this letter, we present the design and development of a smart foot using fiber Bragg
gratings (FBGs) sensors embedded in carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) due to its …

We report the development of a biped-robot system with real-time surface recognition and
walking-speed adjustment to control the robot motion during walking on different types of …

We report an energy-efficiency analysis for the walking pattern of a humanoid robot on
different indoor surfaces with different walking speeds. The walking efficiency is measured …

Reliable task execution of wheeled platform requires high perceptive ability in terrains.
Currently, vision perception is susceptible to external factors such as lighting conditions and …

Under the background of the booming development of big data and the robot industry, the
existing navigation technology has a certain delay in the identification of robot drive form …

Identifying the underlying surface at varying speeds during robotic locomotion is important
for safe and efficient robot navigation. This work aims to enhance the perceptual abilities of …

In this paper, we develop a terrain attribute recognition system for CPG-based legged
robots. First, a low-cost sensing hardware device is designed to be integrated into the robot …

The paper discusses the principles of building a home quadruped robot's vision system for
stepping over obstacles and walking up stairs. The vision system measures the distance to …

A bipedal strolling robot is a kind of humanoid robot. These robots interact with the
environment and may encounter external disturbances such as collisions. In this paper, a …
