  • Abstract
    In this paper, a mechanical structure with 26 DOFs (degrees of freedom) is proposed so that an implemented small-size humanoid robot named TWNHR-3 is able to accomplish the man-like walking motion. The height and weight of the implemented robot is 46 cm and 3.1 kg, respectively. There are 2 DOFs on the head, 2 DOFs on the trunk, 4 DOFs on each arm, and 7 DOFs on each leg. Some basic walking experiments of TWNHR-3 are presented to illustrate that the proposed mechanical structure lets the robot move forward, turn, and slip effectively.
