Abstract

This paper gives an overview on HIT humanoid robot, which is developed as a research platform for replicating human in special environments. The system has two upper extremities, each upper extremity includes a 7-DOF humanoid arm and a 15-DOF dexterous hand as end-effector. Two humanoid arms and dexterous hand are combined with a 2-DOF dynamic torso and a 3-DOF binocular head to form the humanoid upper body. A wheeled mobile robot is employed to provide mobility. In this paper, we describe the design specification and give an overview on mechanical design of each subsystem. Additionally, we give a short introduction to the hardware architecture and software of HIT humanoid robot.
