Design of an IR Communication Link for a Computer-Controlled Humanoid Robot

Recently, many humanoid robots can be formed on television programs and public events. In this paper, we pay attention to such robots. Under this background, diverse parts have been developed and many symposiums have been held to share domain knowledge with many engineers. Furthermore, as for the robot technology, we think that a robot which makes humanlike movement and general view has been developed. However, if a multifunction robot were developed, it could work instead of a human and our lifes could be more convenient and less risky. However autonomous action is very difficult to achieve because a robot cannot recognize varying environment all of the time. In this paper, we focus on how to recognize such environments. The environment is recognized using a camera and is learned with a neural network (NN). The autonomous action can be learned by the NN on the robot or transferred from a PC after action learning. In this work, we use the latter method, and then transmit the image that is necessary to control the robot from a PC because the robot cannot acquire the image by itself
