Humanoid robot H-1

Overview

ICS' the first full-size humanoid robot H-1 is a biped human-sized robot (1.65 m length and 80 kg weight). It has a total of 44 degrees of freedom (number of single-axis rotational joints). The hands with 5 fingers can hold up to 1 kg. The robot walks with a speed of maximum 1.5 km/h. With frequent movement the batteries lasts up to 3 hours. As the robot runs with ROS, the fast prototyping and testing of new algorithms and control approaches by simplifying the deployment and implementation of algorithms for sensor data acquisition, control schemes, visualization both in the real robot or in simulation is much easier. The robot was then covered with artificial robot skin so it can easier interact with its environment.
