Abstract: How to build a Humanoid Robot and Control it?
Building Humanoid Robots is the holy grail of robotics. From Honda’s Asimov, to Boston Dynamics Atlas there have been various attempts to build general purpose humanoid robots. This talk will explore various challenges involved in building an end-to-end humanoid robot and will showcase some of the solutions to some of these challenges. Some of the challenges this talk will focus on will be building the hardware in the form factor with the accuracy required without making it cost prohibitive, while still able to control it. The kind of simulation and learning involved in mapping and navigating unpredictive terrain, grasping and manipulating objects using hands, bipedal motion and control, environmental understanding, task planning, learn by demonstration capabilities, the underlying open sources tools and hardware sensors/actuators which are required for a Humanoid Robot. There will be a workshop later which will showcase some robots.
