High Performance Modeling Helps Robot Take a Step


A project using MapleSIM modeling software at the University of Manchester is helping to perfect the process of humanoid walking in robots. As part of the CICADA project, a number of researchers in the Schools of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Mathematics are working on learning and control approaches to make the bipedal humanoid robot walk. Work at the University of Manchesters Centre for Interdisciplinary Computational and Dynamic Analysis (CICADA) coincides with studies being conducted by Professor Darwin Caldwell at the Italian Institute of Technology. He developed a novel compliant humanoid robot called COMAN....[Read the full article]
