Humanoid Humeral Pointing Kinematics

  • Chapter
Advances in Robot Kinematics

Abstract

Humanoid humeral pointing kinematics is implemented in a humanoid robotic shoulder complex consisting of a parallel mechanism as the innermost shoulder girdle and a serial mechanism as the outermost spherical glenohumeral joint. These subsystems operate cooperatively as an offset double pointing system. The humanoid humeral pointing kinematics are also implemented within a passive humanoid shoulder complex.
