Development of computer integrated testing systems for humanoid robot ex-work inspection

The humanoid robot is a combination of biped, intelligent and mimetic robot to serve human beings in non-production sectors. Since it is a very complicate automatic walking and working machinery, and it works interactively with people in daily life, its correctness and reliability in terms of its functions and performances need to be checked intensively after final assemble and before it is shipped. A novel developed computer integrated testing system (CITS) to inspect every ex-work robot before shipping with the appearance, motion, walking, sensing and recognition, intelligence as well as possessed service expert knowledge is developed in this paper. The use of this fully automated CITS will simplify the human intervenient inspection and testing of the humanoid robot, shorten the testing time and cost, and avoid human errors while in manufacturing, software loading and ex-work inspection.
