Zusammenfassung (Abstract)
:
In this article we present a biologically inspired behavior-based locomotion approach for humanoid robots. On the low level, locomotion is realised by a combination of rythmic pattern generators to produce walking motions and postural reflexes which keep the robot stable and balanced. A higher level behavior could achieve goal-directed movements by exerting influence on the low-level behaviors. The approach was tested on a small humanoid robot which is based on the Kondo KHR-1 construction set.
