Abstract

This paper proposes a design of common platform for small humanoid robots. There are many kinds of small humanoid robots for hobby or research. These humanoid robots are operated in different platforms developed by different developers. For this reason, the current development method is very inefficient. To solve the problem, it is necessary to develop common platform for all small humanoid robots. For this purpose, we are making a common platform for small humanoid robots on RT-Middleware which is used to build intelligent robotic systems. In this paper, first we investigated the requirements of the system to control motion-based humanoid robots. Then we designed a common platform and applied this platform to three different types of humanoid robots. As a result of this, the usefulness of this common platform was demonstrated.
