First, historical development and hardware progress are\u0000presented mainly on human-size full-body biped humanoid robots,\u0000together with progress in pattern generation of biped\u0000locomotion. Then, «whole-body motion» – coordinating leg and arm\u0000movements to fully leverage humanoids’ high degrees of freedom – is\u0000presented, followed by its applications in fields such as device\u0000evaluation and large-scale assembly. Upper-body humanoids with a\u0000mobile base, which are mainly utilized for research on human-robot\u0000interaction and cognitive robotics, are also introduced before\u0000addressing current issues and\u0000perspectives.","PeriodicalId":291069,"journal":{"name":"Mètode Revista\nde difusió de la\ninvestigació","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126071757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
